0cDI6Wpuys8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cDI6Wpuys8	NEW Best 5511 Legendary Commanders in Rise of Kingdoms 2023	in Rise of Kingdoms some commanders can perform  Super well on the battlefield even if you don't   have all of their skills maxed out and while it's  true that of course having a maxed out Commander   is probably going to perform a little bit better  than a non-maxed version of that Commander what   if I told you that some commanders can get you  90 or 95 of their effectiveness for about 30   percent of the investment for some commanders  you really only need two of their skills in   order for them to be super super effective and  getting two skills maxed out costs 190 legendary   Commander sculptures whereas maxing out every  single skill will cost 690. so if maxing two   skills is 70 cheaper than maxing the commander  and you get 90 of the value then maybe these   super cheap Investments are exactly what you  need for your account to get another Army out   on the battlefield and of course that's exactly  what we're going to talk about today but first   what's going on guys cheers this is my second cup  of Cafe Bustelo today a I hope they sponsor me one   day okay so today we're going to talk about some  of the best five five one one commanders in Rise   of Kingdoms if you guys aren't familiar with that  term what that means is the skill level of that   Commander that you need in order to make them  usable okay so five five one one would be the   first two skills at Max and the last time I made  a video like this it was in February and we've had   quite a few new commanders come into the game  that spoiler alert do land themselves on this   list so I figured I would give you guys an update  because I've also had some people actually ask   for an updated version of this video so we broke  this video down into a few different categories   there's going to be chapters so make sure you use  those to jump to the portion of the video that   you care the most about but we're gonna start  here with honorable mentions like I did in my   previous version of this video and that is going  to start with Richard okay Richard is not a five   five one one Commander although he does perform  really well there what I would recommend for most   players is five one one one just completely ignore  all of his skills except for his active skill okay   Okay the reason for this is because Richard is  not great in PvP in the late game he ages very   poorly in Rise of Kingdoms but there is one thing  that he does super well and that is be very tanky   for PVE content meaning you can use him to chain  barbarians and of course you're gonna get access   to him very early on in the game so I think that  having a very very cheap tank in your account   is going to help you for a lot of different  events especially things like Sunset Canyon   golden Kingdom Karuak ceremony kvk barbarians  right it really helps to have a cheap Richard on   your account and having the first skill at five  gives you a 1400 healing factor 30 damage taken   reduction for two seconds but up to five targets  and a 15 March speed production you also reduce   the damage You Take by five percent you gain four  percent counter attack damage 10 of infantry stats   a little bit of bonus to your healing and that's  pretty much it another honorable mention here is   Constantine now a 5511 Constantine is a very good  budget build and this is not really anything that   I would recommend people actually invest in which  is why he is an honorable mention here but he's   worth noting because you are going to see a lot  of Constantine in Sunset Canyon and lost Canyon   and of course he can be useful in you know things  like golden Kingdom the reason for this is because   his active skill is super super powerful when  it comes to debuffs you get a ton of infantry   health and of course you don't really care about  this third skill out in the field and the fourth   skill is still gonna be kind of nice honestly in  those game modes where you are fighting to the   death sometimes the Lucerne Scrolls will have an  infantry Choice chest okay I've already used all   of mine but if you've maxed out Alexander  the Great and you have nothing to do with   those chests then maybe you want to invest them  all into Constantine and eventually you'll get   a 5511 there which I think could help you out  in Canyon another honorable mention is Mehmed   Mehmed is actually insanely good at 5511 uh the  reason that he's only an honorable mention is   because you're gonna get him from free over time  by opening up gold keys now it will take quite   a long time it'll probably take you at least a  year or more to get a 5511 Med unless you get   Super Lucky that's just kind of how I've I've seen  it for most players and then of course you can go   in and get his Relic and you'll have a really  really nice uh you know double Relic here 30   troop Health 10 skill damage you throw him as  a secondary to basically anybody and he's got   nice skill damage nice tanky stats and he brings  more troops to the battlefield we have three more   honorable mentions here uh Pyrrhus is obviously  one of them you have a 1400 damage factor and the   bonus normal attack damage on the active skill  and the second skill super good he's a very very   um sort of versatile early game infantry Commander  you really can get a lot of value out of him but   again gold key Commander you're not going to  be really investing universals into him even   if he is really good in the early game in the  same vein as Pyrrhus is Thutmose okay the Moses   basically in my mind he's kind of like the Archer  version of Pyrrhus uh he's just a really powerful   early game Archer Commander that doesn't age  super well although he does age better than   you might think just like with Mehmed and also  with Pyrrhus Thutmose has his own Relic so he   is a commander at 5511 that you can consider  using if you've got nothing else but don't use   universals on him because you get him for free  in the final honorable mention is Charles Martel   he has obviously this has been like the tried and  true OG infantry tank that you get from the gold   keys nice dueling factor 30 all damage bonus for  4 seconds which is insane you also gain 15 defense   and 15 Health at 5511 so 30 of the tankiest stats  for infantry which is great third skill you really   don't even care about regardless and 10 more  counter attack damage which I think honestly is   beautiful again don't use universals here but  he is an honorable mention with the honorable   mentions out of the way we're gonna move on  to infantry and as you can tell by what's on   the screen right now the first Commander we're  gonna talk about is action actually Gorgo and   of course we have to use the forums because she's  technically been revealed but not in the game yet   and you can tell just by her stats that she is  going to perform Super well as a 5511 with one   huge caveat and that is that she's very slow but  but if you can make use of her as slow as she may   be she is going to be insane at 5511 even though  she's a Garrison Commander this is really nice   damage output okay 2 300 single Target damage  it's Smite damage which means if the enemy is   mitigating skill damage that they receive doesn't  matter this is gonna hit full force okay for the   next three seconds this Commander's troop deals 10  more normal attack damage 10 more counter-attack   damage and takes 20 percent less skill damage but  also deals five percent less skill damage overall   insanely good active still bill here her second  skill gives her 40 attack and when you launch a   normal attack you have a 10 chance to increase  normal attack damage taken by the Target by 30   percent for three seconds very powerful then her  third skill at a single point says that whenever a   troop launches a normal attack there's a 25 chance  of just dealing 100 damage Factor okay that's nice   you get that just by unlocking this and then the  fourth skill here says whenever this Commander   troop deals Smite damage it gains 15 more normal  attack damage for three seconds that is basically   half the value that it would be at Max but you get  this just by unlocking it so really really good   stuff here on Gorgo again the huge downside here  is the March speed and she's infantry so she will   move extremely slow but just the pure stats on  her are insane do I think that you should invest   in her at 5511 probably not the highest priority  on this list but it is worth mentioning her just   based on how good her stats look alone next up  for infantry is Sargon and this is a really good   Commander at 5510 in fact and this is kind of  a unique scenario for Sargon and you know we're   gonna talk a little bit about the Nuance here  but technically you don't want to unlock this   fourth skill unless you're going to use Sargon  as a primary then of course you have no choice   because you have to take him to level 60 but if  you look at his active skill um if you can stay   connected for five seconds which with the amount  of Mark speed reduction these days it's easier   than players think I think a lot of players make  it sound like this is impossible like oh my God   you're never gonna stay connected for five seconds  like bro what I don't know what you're doing in   the open field but a lot of times you can it's  not that hard okay you deal 2 500 damage Factor   here the second skill gives you 10 infantry attack  20 infantry health and when you deal skill damage   there's a 100 chance of inflicting the odd debuff  to the Target which increases the Skillman damage   that they take by three percent for 10 seconds and  you can stack this 10 times so you can make the   target take 30 percent more skill damage which is  crazy really good stuff there this third skill at   one gives you three percent March feed that's kind  of unfortunate that it's only three percent at   one point but you also get two percent more damage  when attacking troops okay and normal attacks have   a 10 chance to increase all damage dealt by ten  percent for three SEC or for three seconds and you   can only trigger once every eight seconds uh just  unlocking this is nice it's not that crazy at one   point but it is still pretty good and eventually  you can come back in and finish him off the reason   that you don't unlock the fourth skill for Sargon  is because when you do it will actually remove the   odd stacks and inflict uh 500 damage factor which  is not worth it for the value that the odds tax   provide at 10. you'd much rather leave them at  10 uh than actually remove them and deal a small   damage Factor so really Sargon is good at five  five one zero uh eventually you can take them to   5550 and then if you want to use him as a primary  you would do five five five uh really we want this   at least at like probably three if anything so  yeah do you want to expertise Sargon uh maybe   eventually he's not top priority to expertise but  you can get some pretty good value out of him uh   with just two skills maxed out and we can't  talk about infantry value if we don't talk   about Liu Che okay this is the latest infantry  commander in Rise of Kingdoms and oh my God at   5511 the value here is absolutely insane okay his  active skill five Target AOE it's the only one for   infantry no other infantry hits five targets by  the way 2250 damage Factor actually insane okay   that is actually insane it's AOE 2250 mind-blowing  okay and on top of that there's a 40 March speed   reduction and also this is Smite damage so that  means if the enemy is mitigating again just like   with Gorgo if they're mitigating skill damage  that they take it doesn't matter this is going   to hit them full force as well really crazy stuff  this second skill at five gives you 20 infantry   defense 20 March speed thank God that's what you  want and 20 skill damage taken reduction amazing   very tanky stuff here and the speed that you need  the third skill at one point still gives you five   percent infantry attack which is nice and you  have a 25 chance of dealing 100 Smite damage very   cool the fourth skill at one gives you two percent  more normal attack damage and when you deal Smite   damage you reduce the damage dealt by the Target  by two percent okay so it's not it's nothing   crazy but it's a little bit of bonus that you get  just by unlocking this which is really nice now   should you expertise Liu Che yes I think out of  everyone we've talked about so far in this video   um this is the one that like you should eventually  expertise him but putting him on the field of five   five one one he's gonna perform pretty well  and finally to round out the inventory we have   Scipio and this is a no-brainer okay if you've  been watching my channel for any amount of time   you know that Scipio is pretty much the best  infantry command the game Liu Che is the latest   greatest hotness he's the at least the heat the  new kid on the Block okay but I think Scipio is   still probably slightly better than him because  there's so much Synergy for Scipio with basically   every other commander in the Infantry tier and  even commanders that aren't infantry people in   the early days of season of Conquest are using  Scipio with YSG that's how versatile he is okay   um at 5511 you have a three Target Two thousand  damage Factor AOE and that's just let me put that   in perspective okay that's how good Liu Che is  okay the best infantry commander in the game right   now has a a weaker damage Factor than Liu Che and  hits less targets than Liu Che okay so that's just   a bit of perspective how insane Liu Che's active  skill is but also um the enemies get 30 reduced   health and that is very punishing guys that is so  punishing especially if you pair him with Liu Che   oh my God second skill here gives you 40 infantry  attack and 15 March speed plus if you're outside   Alliance territory it's another 10 10 percent  of March speed and you can see this energy here   with Liu Che again they both get March speed on  the second skill Liu Che gets some tankiness on   a second skill Scipio gets some offensive stats  on his second skill there's a lot to love here   the third skill here gives you 10 infantry Health  just by unlocking it and a 10 chance of dealing   750 additional damage Factor over the course of  three seconds oh my God that is so much value for   just unlocking the skill you get half the value  of the entire skill just by unlocking it that's   really good stuff and the final fourth skill here  gives you a 50 chance of reducing skill damage You   Take by 10 and getting a shield of 250 so amazing  really great kit Scipio is such good value 5511   he's going to perform so well and yes eventually  you should expertise him he is king of infantry   in my book who are not going to regret investing  in Scipio and that's gonna do it for infantry next   we're going to talk about Cavalry and first of  all we have to talk about William okay William   is one of the best value investments in Rise of  Kingdoms uh it's obvious to see why okay he has a   sort of a weird AOE shape it's a rectangle and the  Damage Factor here is starting to show its age a   little bit but the reason that you bring William  is for the rest of his kid it's not necessarily   the AOE skill damage although 1500 it's not  horrible like I would say it's a very medium   damage Factor here for Rise of kingdoms these days  what's great here is it says attacked troops extra   skill damage from Buffs cannot take effect so this  is good for virtually every enemy you're going to   encounter except for Gorgo and Liu Che really good  stuff and it's a 30 March speed production amazing   love to see that the second skill here says all  cowboy units gain 20 attack and 15 March read   awesome Cavalry love to be fast and hitting harder  with attack is nice troops led by this Commander   deal 10 increased damage what 10 increased  damage outside of Alliance territory that's   amazing really great stuff here third skill at  one still gives you 10 percent of Cavalry attack   which is nice I mean you already got 20 here now  you're getting another 10 okay great but also your   normal attacks have a 10 chance to deal 600 damage  factor for free and if the target is surrounded   it's gonna take extra damage Factor depending  on how many targets is actually hitting it and   finally the fourth skill at one gets almost all of  its value honestly uh when your active skill hits   multiple targets you get 10 increased defense for  3 seconds which is half the value okay but also if   you hit two or more Targets this Commander's troop  gains not only the defense but 50 raids per second   for three seconds that's 150 rage and your nearby  allies gain that too so that's really supportive   amazing stuff out of William 5511 is insane value  obviously this third skill getting this to five   would be nice but you never need to expertise  William at this stage of the game if you haven't   done it already don't do it it's not really worth  it you don't really get that much extra value out   of expertise in William but just getting him on  the field at 5511 is gonna feel great next up is   nevsky and this is a no-brainer uh eventually  you'll want to expertise nevsky I mean there's   just so much to love about his kit but his active  skill 2 300 single Target damage factor and a   really good defense reduction here depending on  how many targets are surrounding the enemy really   amazing stuff second skill 20 attack 20 March  speed and 20 Health outside of Alliance territory   amazing stuff here okay and you can see the  Synergy with William as well if you got the Volta   5511 you'd get a really good value out of that  third skill gives you 10 defense just by unlocking   it and you get two percent extra bonus damage  and one percent less damage taken from surrounded   targets awesome fourth skill says you get five  percent bonus skill damage just for unlocking   it and 15 extra skill damage for 4 seconds when  you cast an active skill so total that's 20 bonus   skill damage for your secondary Commander for  free just by unlocking this next up is Joan of Arc   Prime and I think that this goes without saying  but really the configuration for Joan is not 5511   in fact it is five one one five and that is super  disappointing okay because it's really hard to   get this fourth skill to five but if you can get  your hands on some skill resets which right now   at the time of recording this we actually have an  anniversary event and in the shop there is a skill   reset for free right here okay so if you're a free  to buy player or a low spender you should get this   um it's virtually never that we get skill  resets for free so get this this is one of   the most valuable items in the game if you  are a free to play or low spender please   please don't regret that anyway the active  skill at 5 is a three Target Two thousand   damage Factor AOE and this Commander's troop and  two surrounding friendly troops also deal five   percent more damage for three seconds and gain  20 rage per second for three seconds so that   is 60 total rage plus a massive nuke which is  amazing and of course her fourth skill at five   gets you 10 more Health nice and a 100 chance to  cast her active skill again now it's a 10 second   cooldown because it's insanely good but I mean  come on guys 4 000 damage Factor every other skill   cycle oh my God okay and we already talked about  if you pair it with nevsky she's gonna get a bonus   skill damage here oh my god dude it's so good  it is so good here um now should you expertise   Joan of Arc Prime I don't think so I don't think  many players need the expertise here it's okay   but it's so expensive I would say honestly if you  could do a five five one five like that would be   perfect but I don't really think the expertise is  necessary and finally the last Cavalry commander   is Huo Qubing and this is one of the New Kids on  the Block we gotta talk about him he is fresh off   the press and I think he's gotten maybe not enough  love honestly I feel like there was a lot of hype   when it came out then the test results came out  and people thought oh well he's kind of okay but   a lot of people still have Xiang Yu I think he's  definitely better than Xiang Yu like no question   there is no question he is better than saying you  in my book Xiang Yu's AOE is not as good as people   think because it reduces by 25 per Target instead  of 15 so it is actually like really not not that   good and the 30 defense reduction is nice except  for the fact that you probably have your nevsky   debuff which is 45 and that they just don't like  it's always going to be overwritten by the nevsky   and there's so many nevskys in the open field that  the defense production on Xiang Yu has really not   aged that well and in comes and he is honestly a  really good replacement because the single Target   damage Factor here is more damage Factor than than  Xiang Yu even if Xiang Yu hits three targets even   if he hits three Targets this is still more damage  Factor because it is just so insanely High and the   50 March speed production is good we've got a  lot of March speed reduction these days okay we   already talked about it with William we talked  about it with Liu Che there's a lot of speed   reduction okay but 50 is really good honestly it  it's really good and of course the second skill   40 attack and when outside of lion's territory you  get 15 extra large speed and you deal five percent   more damage to archers the third skill by just  unlocking it dates that if you've been on the map   for at least 30 seconds and has fought in at least  one battle already or has previously triggered the   Autumn Wind effect every time it enters combat  it will gain the following Buffs for the first   15 seconds by unlocking it it is 10 bonus skill  damage for free and 50 less rage to activate the   active skill so this becomes 950 just by unlocking  this and after the 15 seconds you'll get two   percent bonus normal attack damage that's really  not that much to be honest with you this skill   is okay it's not his best skill so skipping it  and having that one is fine and the fourth skill   here will give you 10 increased defense and you  will deal five percent more skill damage whenever   your troop defeats an enemy you'll get 600 healing  factor which honestly that's not gonna happen that   often so it's kind of negligible regardless  but you still get some nice defensive skill   damage just by unlocking it that's kind of cool  I think at 5511 Huo is solid in the open field   now I think 5515 might be better but honestly Hua  tree Bing at five five one one really good value   and you know should you eventually expertise him  it really depends um I think you know if you're   going to go for him you probably eventually want  to but he's definitely really really low priority   I mean there's so many other commanders that  you're going to want to expertise before him so   just keep that in mind moving on to archers we're  gonna start with Tomyris now this is a very Niche   role so I don't think all players should run out  and try to attempt this with Tomyris but I have to   at least mention her because she is she's no pun  intended she's pretty legendary okay she's been   around for a while because she has a unique  use case and it's very similar to Sargon but   unfortunately she's similar to Joan of Arc Prime  in that you would rather have her at five one one   five so really the number of players watching  this video that are going to get this quite low   um and it's really not a priority anymore but it's  still worth talking about a thousand damage factor   and if the target is poisoned you remove the  stacks and deal a nice single Target instant   proc damage which is great the second Skillet one  literally doesn't matter because it's just for   attacking cities the third skill at one gives you  10 attack and you have a 10 chance to reduce the   target defense by 10 which is cool but the fourth  skill being at five is where she shines she has a   100 chance to get uh give a stack of poison to the  Target for each normal attack and it Stacks up to   15 times and it lasts 5 seconds for each stock but  it's refreshed every time a new stack is added and   every single stock the target takes three percent  extra skill damage 45 increased skill damage and   the reason that players still use Tomyris to this  day is for the poison Stacks because it helps you   swarm down targets okay if you're swarming a flag  or a fortress or a rally for for that matter uh   having the target take 45 increased skill damage  from everyone hitting it absolutely ridiculous so   it's worth mentioning even though this is quite  Niche next up is Artemisia and I'm just gonna   say this right now um The Archers have the most  5511 viable commanders in the game in my opinion   um Artemisia 1800 damage Factor AOE amazing  she also unfortunately deals damage to herself   but uh we'll ignore that for the moment second  skill 40 of tanky stats split between defense   and health amazing third skill at one doesn't  even matter because it's three garrisons and   the fourth skill at one gives you a 25 damage  increase when her rage meter reaches 80 percent   she could silence herself but knowing you because  you are a watcher of Omniarch videos and you're   you're smart okay you're gonna pair her with  Boudica prime or Zhuge Liang maybe but probably   not more likely Boudicca Prime uh and basically  Buddha Prime if she's expertise is going to wipe   away that self-silence most of the time and we  love to see that okay so you get 25 bonus damage   for five seconds for free most of the time which  is amazing just by unlocking this unbelievable   value here we love Artemisia this is bae next up  is Nebu Nebu is kind of showing his age a little   bit but a lot of players are still using him with  jugular young in the open field and it's not hard   to see why because he has a five Target to AOE  very rare I think this is only the second time   we've talked about a five Target AOE in this video  okay 1500 damage Factor forward-facing cone second   skill gives him 30 defense and 15 Mark speed very  vanilla but it's good it's tanky it's fast you   want you love to see that third skill doesn't  matter for open field because that's rallies   anyway and the fourth skill just by unlocking  this you deal three percent more damage and you   have a 10 chance to reduce the target's rage by  20. nothing crazy but 5511 is super cheap and you   know it's nice it's something of course we have to  talk about Boudicca Prime okay 5511 Boudicca Prime   is usable in the open field active skill 2300  damage Factor single Target nuke okay and the   target takes 35 increased skill damage and reduces  the March speed by 30 percent for three seconds so   another March speed reduction really good stuff  there okay this is so good for swarming things   down if the target you're hitting takes 35 percent  more skill damage from everything that we've   talked about in this video oh my God okay besides  Liu Che and Gorgo of course the second skill here   gives you 30 Archer attack and 10 March speed and  you gain 30 defense when you go below 80 which you   know you you probably will do that eventually  in most fights so that is good to have the nice   little bonus tankiness the third skill being at  one will still reduce skill damage You Take by 10   just by unlocking this which is nice and then the  rest of the skill here is really not that crazy I   mean it's even at five this is not really that  crazy so yeah and then the fourth skill at one   will increase your damage Delta infantry by  a measly one percent but you will have a 400   healing Factor when you use your active skill  for free which is nice but the new kid on the   Block Julian this is a Powerhouse at five five one  one now Boudicca Prime is to do expertise sir no   okay should you expertise Nebu or Artemisia the  other commanders that we talked about no we you   should not be expertising those commanders um you  should definitely save the sculptures but Julian   you definitely should expertise this  guy eventually okay uh but at 5511 you   get a lot of value here you get a 2005 Target AOE  unbelievable it's also a circle and you don't have   to expertise him to get that Circle okay YSG you  got expertise them for the circle jugular young   just gets it by default and have the target steal  15 less damage for three seconds that's an insane   debuff coupled with an insane AOE like literally  the best AOE in the game pretty much okay second   skill here says you get 30 Health amazing and  deal five percent extra damage whenever you're   inflicted with a control effect okay so that's  silence disarm heal immunity whatever there's a   50 chance to just negate it and deal 500 damage  to that attacking troop you get a Silence from   Guan Yu just kidding boom you hit him with a  500 damage Factor love it third skill here at   one will give you five percent bonus skill damage  and you have a 10 chance to increase your attack   by 25 so basically half the value of the attack  increase here kind of we'd love to see that okay   we'd love to see it for unlocking it and fourth  skill when this is at one you'll gain two percent   bonus damage with the Marquee effect and then if  you delay skill damage with the Marquee effect it   will remove that effect and deal 700 damage factor  in a three Target forward-facing AOE so a double   AOE on this guy and you get it just by unlocking  the skill love to see that okay again eventually   expertise him but 5511 he's insane a little bit  slow but he's still insane next we'll talk about   Henry active skill 2300 damage Factor nuke and  reduces the skill damage that you take by 30   for 5 seconds this is a little bit less valuable  now that gorgo and uh Liu Che are in the game but   still really really good second skill gives you  20 attack and 20 defense and also 20 March speed   outside of Valance territory amazing all the  stuff that you would really want from an open   field commander third skill doesn't even matter  that it's at one because it's for rallies and   fourth skill at one you get two percent more Ultra  damage and when you would get attacked there's   a 10 chance to just deal 400 damage factor to  them so you get basically half the value of that   Factor just by unlocking this which is really good  now should you expertise Henry eventually probably   not unless you're an Archer main I think his  expertise is actually very good but realistically   most players you know this is not a high priority  expertise I really don't think so and finally you   thought we were going to talk about all the  archers except for YSG but you'd be wrong   um you can use YSG at 5511 okay is he better  at expertise obviously is the circle dealer   AOE better obviously okay it's more damage factor  it's it's just better okay it's just better I'm   not gonna argue that okay but even if you don't  have an expertise it's still a 1400 five Target   AOE in front of you which is basically Nebu's  active skill it's fine it's fine okay second   skill a little bit of a rage engine and a 100  attack increase that happens on a 10 chance okay   and then just by unlocking the fourth skill you  gain 20 bonus skill damage it's fine it's it you   know do you want an expertise yes okay eventually  you want to get him expertise now if you are in   season of conquest and you don't have an expertise  already you might want to move on to something   else because there are better Investments than  YSG these days but if you just started playing   Rise of Kingdoms and you're really grinding  and you really want the best account possible   um this would probably be your first expertise and  is the case for most players these days but yeah I   mean 5511 if you left them there like is it the  end of the world no it's not anyway guys that's   gonna do it for this video If you enjoyed this  video and you made it all the way to the end I   hope you'll drop a thumbs up on it it really does  help out the channel a ton of helps get this video   out into the YouTube algorithm so other Rise of  Kingdoms players might see it

here's clyde and it's great to be here mossy oh absolutely jumping out of my skin once again to be on the chart and couch you'll notice it tends to change a fair bit uh it's everywhere we go and but some things don't change robbo and that's clyde and look at that clyde never ever sleeps now you're strapped in for another big road to glasgow i can tell you mostly it's 140 days now until the 2014 glasgow commonwealth games and hasn't athletics just gripped this country uh like nothing else absolutely last weekend three state championships robbo we know that athletics is in its prime right now leading into the commonwealth games where we'll be winning a swag of gold silver and bronze medals listen why don't we jump ourselves up to queensland to start things off yeah mate well they didn't have their state champs up there but they had the regional cup and it was going underway and didn't matty denny throw out a discus uh he's actually set a record there as the longest discus throw for an under 20. so he's got the junior record he's taking that off julian ruck he threw a 63.66 a huge throw and that's got him an a qualifier and uh well done maddie denney now down south we're up here in new south wales the heartland of athletics uh what we know is that down south they did some jumping on the weekend in victoria a huge event down there as well well mossy you'll know people in australia and in victoria especially they'll know about the stratton family and the stratton siblings were on fire in that sand pit again brook took out the women's jamie took out the men's and young and sister christy also with a third place in the podium there brooke i can tell you did a 6 39 commonwealth games b and she's just getting b's every time she goes out for a jump these days so well done again to brook stratton also zach patterson just quickly in the 1500 meters he took that one out in a very impressive 349.71 and he's licking his lips ahead of the junior nationals coming up next week mossy he's a real threat in that one damian birkenhead now we know he got he came off the win over there in the west uh winning the shot put in the perth track classic he got the win down at the victoria national uh the victorian state champs with an 1867 also a com games b eleanor patterson doing great things in the high jump another b there 188 and a world junior qualifier and in the hammer mossy we don't talk enough about the hammer and i know one it's the forgotten sports isn't it it is mate one of your favorites gabrielle neighbor and uh nabal lara nielsen well they chucked out a couple of bigs commonwealth games bees as well but the 800 meters mossy and uh the evergreen catherine katzenovakis took out the 800 meters now we know she's a national champion previously but she beat home the likes of caleb mcknight and kelly hetherington in a 203.12 to take the women's 800 but loads of great action down there at the victorian champs um at lakeside and if you want to see more of that jump onto athviktv on youtube and they have some fantastic coverage on there you can check it all out you're a man with a finger on the pulse so uh let's take a little bit of a run from newcastle here down to sydney ford the new south wales athletics state championships which were held on the weekend yeah mossy another huge state champs and uh look i thought who better to have a chat to about this one than david tarbotton uh tarby he's a much loved figure in the world of athletics here in australia and especially in new south wales he's a statistician he's just a guru photographer he's a walking almanac around athletics and let's give him a call now it's sorry it's almost uh insulting that i said you're the man with the finger on the pulse how about i'll let you get your finger on the pulse let's get our finger on tarby's pulse and i'm sure tarby won't mind so we'll give him a quick call here mossy and i'll just make sure i think i've got him on speed dial is it four g or three g that's four here i think g'day tubby yes mate it's robert here from ossie and robbo we're on the tartan couch mate i just wanted to pick your brain a little bit i believe it was a huge state champs down there at sopak on the weekend tell us a little bit about what were your highlights yeah yeah thanks roberto um yes it was um it was a three uh three-day meet and um yeah a bit bit wet under underfoot danny samuels was competing across the world champion in 2009 at berlin and um she just stepped in stepped up and into the circle in that very first throw in the discus and just nailed 65-59 nominal throw and she'll be actual fact on the sunday she can she also um did very well in the shop part where she um um broke the new south wales record and um just missed her commonwealth games a qualifier there was a fantastic high jump competition the the bar went up to 186 and the two new south wales girls um nailed it and it's just fantastic so that's a commonwealth bee for these two girls so it's nicola mcdermott who's the central coast mingara um athlete and amy pichkovitz so those two are looking good kate spencer from the ride club here in sydney she sort of still keeping her options open for commonwealth and for world juniors and whether it be you know 3000 or 5000 or even steeplechase which is actually her her primary event she ran 953 um 0.15 and she just she she she she achieved everything she probably needed to she's um she broke the new south wales junior and opened records she um nailed a commonwealth games b qualifier she got her world junior qualifier and she she moved to number five in the australian all-time list and she's still a teenager wow um just outstanding run but um jared getty's um came back on the sunday after he'd been disqualified on the saturday and uh so on the sunday he ran the 200 meters and um had little trouble in winning racing 20.84 into a bit of a headwind so he's going very very well excellent mate well it sounds like a great mate tell us coming up next down there in the same venue we've got the junior national championships what has caught your eye so far tarby in terms of your predicted highlights highlights for that one other than matt danny and a few others that you've that we've mentioned who broke the um australian discus record um last week in brisbane um james kermond standout he um won the australian all schools 200 and 400 leaders in uh december in townsville in the high jump women's high jump eleanor patterson who who jumped that amazing 196 in townsville at the um australian law school so she she's just um on the rise um you know as one of our i mean she's she's a metal chance for the glasgow and the commonwealth game so um she may even bypass the hall of juniors it's hard to sort of say what she'll um end up doing there also of course georgia wassel as we we mentioned um won the new south wales 1600 so she'll be going around in um certainly the 800 meters um and kate spencer thanks very much for spending time with us toby we hope to catch up with you again on the road to glasgow and keep up all the great work that you're doing mate you too you too you and you and mossy thanks robbo all right mate bye tar bottom there you go thanks very much tarby and uh there's not a lot he doesn't know about uh statistics and uh the ins and outs of track and field mossy yeah he is the man uh off the field but then again you'll see him on the field as well as he said there with the the photography going on there he is an absolute legend great to have you on board tarby don't forget if you want to get in contact with us at mossy and robbo hashtag tartan couch well robert last week we were over in perth for the perth track classic the go for two and five perth track classic it was a huge meet and uh one thing that i noticed there was that there were a few uh spear chuckers over there robbo yeah there certainly was it was talked up to be a huge mate in terms of the javelin throws and uh we caught up with a few of australia's best we actually caught up with three of them now a lot of people know him as the three k's this is actually the three m's of the javelin here in australia he was one of our most outstanding javelin throwers catherine mitchell a week ago 66.1 not far off the national record you must be feeling pretty good uh yeah obviously um it was a good throw and it was um yeah hard to know what to expect for the obviously the first competition of the season so obviously it was a good result and i've been training really well and i expected to see these distances sometime this year probably not the first throw the first competition but um yeah there's there's still a lot to work on and um i think yeah it's it's really going to be a great year ahead for me and kim and hopefully we can i think we'll definitely give the national record a good go at how important is it to have this competition there with kim and also kelsey lee roberts i think it's a really good opportunity you know i've been speaking to brian the psychologist and we're really in a good position that no other nation has in that you know the depth of of their event is not there so we're getting opportunity now early in the year to you know obviously there's the focus is in six months time but we're getting good opportunity to practice our competition management and um yeah it's something that i don't think the other the other countries have so it's definitely an advantage best of luck tonight it's the uh go for two and five perth track classic so the quick question is what's your favorite fruit quick question um oranges tell us how you're through tonight yeah not too bad uh it's february the medals aren't handed out until late july and uh i uh i wrote down my goal is uh 63 as an average in the domestic season and i think my average out of the two comps is now 64 and a half so definitely nailing that and yeah look like the crowd tonight was amazing the uh the weather here was amazing i just failed to just nail uh a perfect throw and uh look it's it's it's definitely there like a miss throw and still going 63 is pretty cool you know what you need you need to increase your uh fruit and vegetable intake that could be it two and five so that leads us to our final question the hard hitting questions here on the tartan couch what's your favorite fruit mangoes definitely ah high five give it up hi lovers yeah but hey awesome to have you here on the tartan couch and i will be out uh continuing on the rest of the tour and looking forward to having you on here again oh thank you and uh good on you guys for coming all the way to perth i uh like i've never moved from here and never will you probably see why it's absolutely marvelous thank you perfect great to have you on the titan couch we'll see you again soon excellent kim nicolas just like kim so i'm here with silas moss and silas through javelin in little athletics at stockton uh so how are you looking in your later years in life in terms of your athletic career yeah well stockton dolphins little athletics club as you would know is probably the premium club in the whole of newcastle look a few back injuries as you know hips and lower back are as in important for javelin with that rotation through there so what i sort of encourage a lot of kids out there to is not make the same mistake that i did and throw from the one arm you've actually got to become ambidextrous and throw with both arms and that way you kind of even out the wear and tear now is it true that in the last few minutes you've just picked up a new coach uh catherine mitchell yeah absolutely i'm catherine's a great product out of ballarat i was actually down to coach her but we decided we'd you know reverse the psychology and i'll allow her to coach me and this comeback season i mean we've got com games coming up soon i was going to go to sopot or sapo as they like to say over there in poland did you know that uh it's got the longest jetty in the whole of europe it's a fascinating place to be there um so won't be going there but yeah she'll be coaching me all the way to the comm games and look let's hope rio we might have a good throw tonight at the gopher two and five perth track classic and final question what's your favorite fruit mango hey this is ben harding i'm going to see how far i can throw this follow the hashtag look let's let's have a look at what's coming up and there's lots coming up what's the topic that everyone's talking about around the world well at the moment it's the world indoors that are going on over there at so po that's right we've actually got some clarification we thought we'd go to one of the best in the world we did actually yeah because it's been confusing it's over there in northern poland um and we weren't sure and we thought we thought we just touched both with base with defending uh indoor world champion sally pearson to see her take on sopo let's hear from that fellas have you got the inside scoop is it sopo isn't there a tea on the end yeah so far there you go there you go has been trying to get all exotic and european honest and cool yeah i think this is what i don't care as long as i wish so according to uh sally pearson there but mostly the late mail is that it is sopo uh keeping with the tradition of of of host cities ending in oh so obviously you know moscow glasgow rio tokyo you know dubbo the likes of these so it's obviously sopo um and yeah what is it about the longest pier again mossy well as not many people that have been following us would know that actually it is the longest pier or i could like to call it a jetty in the whole of europe but let's not forget the fact they have the second biggest music festival as well robert sally pearson she took on a 60 metre hurdles race at berlin and um i want to just have a quick look at that now pearson and mossy what about that for a little bit of show business there the house lights down the spotlight's on you know it's just it's going to be electric over here at sopo uh for the indoor champs this weekend collis birmingham's taking on the 3000 metres i think that's on the friday evening so he'll be going around in that and we look forward to seeing how he progresses hopefully in a naked runner's headband mossy would it be right to say that you and i have a little bit of a thing for collis the way we just love him don't we we we met him briefly we didn't get much of a chance we didn't get him on the couch unfortunately over in perth but no i actually got him on a step uh we had a really good long chat um and in between vomits uh him and robert over there oh there you go we look forward we'll save that experience up getting colors on the tartan couch mossy uh it all then lines up for the junior nationals and this is a five-day extravaganza kicking off wednesday uh next week it's going to be a cracker we've sent lynchie down there to man the fort and he's going to be on the bean bags down there take a holding court it's going to be lynchy's live stream so i can't wait for that oh that's going to be massive lynchy on the the beanbag the one thing about lynch he's not the hugest guy in the world so you know hopefully at times you might see him in there he's not stuck inside the beanbag don't forget to check out athletics australia's website because the live stream will be up four days in action uh lynch is going to be there giving you all the action as well leading into the big one robber yeah well the big one mossy

so Thank You Sofia this is like the National Theatre of Sofia it's a very iconic building for our city and yeah this were our t-shirt that we made for our ng Christmas event and basically what we did even Sebastian was here he actually gave the idea to creates this online game and two big winners from the game so we can just give the t-shirt so it was it was really cool all of the people really enjoyed it so we had a really nice Christmas party I love it and I love Sebastian just a little bit of trivia for my friend I actually see a couple of my friends in the chat and so I think we're gonna have a lot of fun today just a little trivia for you guys who don't know Ilya the first time I met Ilya he was wearing a duck costume a little onesy duck costume with Sebastian running around and it was and I didn't know who he was but I knew he was really fun whoever it was I was like I have to meet that guy because he's a hoot and definitely you oh you are a lot of fun okay so we should just jump right into it because I know a lot of us here at least in the States well last time you were here actually was one o'clock in the morning your time which was pretty awesome but so we moved it earlier so uh so we should just jump right in and get started you're gonna teach us HTTP yeah so what I'm going to talk about this HTTP two and kind of differences between HTTP and HTTPS I'm going to mention hp3 as well because it's right right around the corner I guess and I'm also going to talk about protocol buffers and just stuff like that I mean I kind of like find it boring now since I kind of like dig into this stuff so I hope that it's not going to be very important for you guys but I haven't used protocol buffers is it gonna be like confusing is gonna be super simple my presentation is really like basic so I think that's you understand everything so yeah awesome awesome okay so I'm about to do a first I want to say thank you that you change the time because before it was really hard for me because that's why we changed for you yeah and I'm happy because there aren't so many panelists so we have 12 people watching now so yeah so share your screen it keeps something cool okay so I'm about to share my screen hopefully you're about to see like do you see okay yes yes okay perfect so what I did is that I created two applications folder the one the first one is the server basically it's a basic HTTP server and the other one is basic angular project so I'm going to start with the server I'm just going to so usually like we do our projects in typescript so of the back end is in typescript as well and what I did here is basically that I use the HTTP 2 module from not GS and I just create a simple server so the first difference between HTTP 2 and HTTP 1 is that HTTP 2 runs only encrypted so if you want to run an h2 server you need to have certificates so usually like on the dodgiest page you can find how to generate self-signed certificates so you can run your server and here I just create the server and basically I created a small rudder it's pretty much mimics let me just stop my sorry my email because it's jumping around sorry for the inception there so yeah I created this kind of very simple Express like I should say module that pretty much gives me the possibility to create handlers for certain endpoints just like this one for the users and gives me the possibility to use middleware just like Express does and the difference is like first first I want to show the configuration for this kind of Express like module of course we have the possibility to serve static assets even though it's not very optimal to serve static assets from not yes but this is another topic but what is interesting here is that we have this like push configuration so the main difference between HTTP 1 and HTTP 2 is that with HTTP 1 we have when we are making a request we have to open a TCP connection and whenever like we are dispatching requests from for example the browser we have a certain limit of H of TCP connections that we can open and the limit is I think around 6 so pretty much this is one of the reasons why we have to bundle our applications into one big piece of or at least a few big piece a big piece of code and ship them to the user so we don't have to make so many requests but with HTTP 2 we have a single TCP connection open and we can basically do multiplexing on over this TCP connection that means that it's it's not even worth bundling the application anymore you can of course meaning minimize it but you can keep it like separate just because you're you don't have to open you don't have this limit of 60 CP connections you basically have one TCP connection that you do multiplexing on so pretty much they say like today today's best practices are not even like best practices even more if you're using HTTP to but anyways the thing that we are looking now is this push configuration and with the push configuration I can say that when I when I when I get a request for this like URL which is like default one I can just push even before the browser actually requested some stuff and what it what actually happens is that this stuff gets sent to the browser and they get cash there so whenever like the browser decides that it needs those asset and creates the requests the request for them it basically just gets them out of the cache so it's pretty fast and I'm just going to quickly show you what I do so in this connect I'm just listening to on the HTTP 2 server for the new streams that are coming and whenever a new string is opened I pretty much check I'm using what Express is using for generating we're just generating reg X for certain parts and I just match the certain but that the request is for and pretty much I'm just sending I'm just checking if there is like push data that I want to push to the server and yeah basically I'm just handling the request as normal from their own so if we go for example on this page which is like a random newspaper I didn't want to show the name so I hit it we can actually see all the requests that are done home is kind of like not showing what I wanted to show right now because the waterfall is kind of gone so I guess I'll have to refresh the page so we can see like this thing called the waterfall I guess I think most of you know what that is but basically just because we have this limit of six connection you can have six connections per origin you can see how for example this request is queued for five hundred and twenty seven milliseconds and this one is even more so with with HTTP two if I open our website you can actually see that we don't have this big waterfall we basically had we basically have all the assets kind of like pushed before they were even requested for example if I go a little bit down let you just see there is like this image somewhere that you can actually see yet for example this like the main bundle here the main and your bundle it's not even like request it's not even it's kind of like requested from the server but it's actually already inside the memory of the browser so it's just right from the memory so you do you kind of get what this HTTP to push us or should I explain it more hard this is free I think this is okay Kevin what do you think yeah yeah this is making sense yeah so pretty much I'm just pushing assets even before they are requested right so this is one of the reasons why HTTP 2 is very nice just because for different for different paths on your website you can configure what assets should be pushed even before there are they requested and this basically gives you speed ok so enough with this like the interesting part actually is let's go to the index yes but we have this like subscribe Kenward so you see man sorry we have one person who said it was big enough and one who said they wanted a little bit bigger I think it's a bit small can you just zoom that text like one little bit so we can there yeah you can uh yeah yeah okay okay no problem so then the interesting part is that we have this like subscribed Handler and what it actually does if we go to the if we go to the custom mode that I created is basically it listens for methods that are get requests and basically it automatically creates a subscription for this asked and what I mean by subscription is that we are kind of like able to do something that's a lot of students because I teach in University asked me so whenever like they see angular and Eric's yes for the first time they're kind of like okay so I kind of make a get request for this end points from yeah for these end points and I'm expecting the data but does that mean that whenever like the data changed on the back and I will receive the update as well and this is the sad part because I have to tell them not actually because you know when we're talking about observables with the HTTP clients you just get one thing and that's it right but with the module that I created you actually have a live subscription and just because we have this like single TCP connection we can actually keep some streams because we can we are actually communicating via streams right I mean it's not like request response is basically a we have we can have multiple streams over this TCP connection that are open and we don't even have to close them just because if they're not sending data basically the TCP connection is free to peruse right so this is what actually the this subscribe method allows me to do okay just I want to play it's kind of hard for me it's but it's like it's like my first time presenting come here I am on podcast all the time and last time I was presenting on angular air I got all flustered because everybody was looking at me it's hard you're fine you're fine yeah yeah okay so yeah this is like the subscribe pretty much we can we can check the post method what the post method does actually is that it gets like the date from the body that we sent and it simulates a month asynchronous operation and whenever this asynchronous operation is processed basically I'm just simulating here that we're putting some data inside the database even though on the demo database is inside my inside my memory so pretty much I just have this disarray and internally I'm having this like method that I call it's called the notifier and whenever I call it basically all the subscriptions that are connected for this route this one here get cold and for example we can see that when I type an ID here and a name in an age here whenever I click the button after some time because I have this delay this thing shows like here so pretty much we have the live data and inside this tab we have it as well because both of the tabs are kind of like subscribed to this endpoint so nothing very special here I guess I guess I'll just go to the front end so we can see what's actually how we are handling things there so what I've created is this called fetch fetch client module pretty much what we have inside its is that we have this service it's called the fetch plants it's not the HTTP clans just because I'm providing different backends or usual when you're using the HTTP client you're using the faulty you're using the xhr I think handle back-end or something like that basically they're doing SHR HTTP requests but I just provide this custom-made back-end it's called fetch and you guess that it uses fetch inside so I'm not sure you're probably familiar with fetch writes it's not something new pretty much it's a better API to make requests asynchronous requests to the server and what it's going that is it it uses promises so basically what I do here is I just create the HTTP requests and then I get the response and depending on the response I just handle it in some way right and I also keep all the HTTP client methods so pretty much what I what I change is only the backend and inside the backend we only have this handle methods and whenever we make a request from our application basically this is the method that gets called oh inside here as I said when we when we do the get request or the post request for a certain endpoints we create our fetch request and I'm using from Eric GS this thing called observable from so I can create an asynchronous stream from this promise and basically depending on there its own headers I do certain things so I'm just going to focus now on the part where we are actually handling just JSON responses and then I'm going to when we finish with this I'm just going to dig into what protocol buffers are and why I actually decided to put them inside this devil so whenever like Jason request comes basically I call this method it's called the get response processor I have this method just because I have two types of Chandler's one is for Jason and one is four protocol buffers so inside here what what I actually do is just because I'm using the fetch request I can actually use the browser stream API so what web browser stream is if we go here we can actually see this diagram it explains how the fetch actually works underneath and how it uses the browser streams browser streams are something that are still not in all major browsers but they're slowly getting into them so we see here like we have our server and our server is sending some data and the cool thing is that we can actually process the data chunk by chunk and we can actually output the data in the same way so we don't have to wait for the whole data to get downloaded to the browser to kind of like do some certain modifications and present it to the user what we actually can do is create this kind of like we can think of them like Eric GS operators that kind of like modify the data and inside our subscription we can kind of output what the result is so this is like the browser stream standards and here if you go on this page you can see like there is there there is that this link that they actually show you demos and this is Ali really like simple demo and you can actually kind of associate it with Eric GS so what they do here is that basically they get the response body from the fetch request and they pipe it through different kind of operators so what they do is kind of like the day they called the stream they split the stream - they split the stream on new lines then part they then parse it to Jason basically they kind of transform the elements to table row and they append it to the table that is presented on the HTML so it pretty much it does look like a jet right it's some very different opinions sorry I was entering brows on mute okay it's kind of strange you can do this you don't actually have to have rxjs to have this functionality no this is this is baked inside the browsers not all of them if if you want to see in which ones you can go on this website can I use and basically cannot see which browser supports the streams API but it will be no major browsers hopefully and I hope soon but in chrome it's definitely working what about for HTTP to like what's the what's the adoption on that do I need a specific browser pretty well done so HTTP 2 is supported in all major browsers what is cool about the HTTP the HTTP to server is that it's very easy for you to kind of fall back to HTTP 1 if the browser does not support HTTP 2 so basically there is no pain to kind of transition to HTTP 2 you can only gain from this and there is no pain because actually the the semantics of the whole HTTP 2 is just like the one in HTTP 1 with small changes of course right won't break anything yeah it's it's it's something that I think everyone should be using nowadays but fetch the the fetch API is not you can use it with HTTP 1 you can use the rotation - it doesn't matter the only thing that is different is the for example transform streams because they don't need that they don't work in all major browsers ok so basically what I'm get what I'm doing here in my processor I'm getting the reader and basically the reader provides me to kind of start to start reading from my stream that I opened and to process the data or on chunks so here I just create an observable and in this observable I called the read method from this reader and I create this function called the read every gender I just want to say that the code is not very good-looking just because I didn't have time to kind of refactoring it's okay to look at so I create this Richenda and whenever like very some pacer I kind of I kind of like create this part this content thing that I keep all the data inside and I try to see if I can actually extract for example a JSON object from it and if I cannot extract I just continue forward with reading the stream so so I can connect collect enough data and when I collect enough data inside this content basically what I do is that I process this data and I emitted to the observable so you can kind of understand what what is happening if I'm kind of like streaming a lot of JSON objects I at certain point I might not have the whole JSON objects received right because I'm kind of like collecting all the small chunks of data and what I'm doing here is basically I'm making sure that I have enough chunks collected so I can actually parse the JSON and push it to the stream back to the client okay basically what construct response does is it just constructs the response just like the one that we receive from that we get from the HTTP client and probably the more the more interesting part is this professor that I actually using the json processor is really simple if I'm kind of like streaming a lot of JSON structures I use as a delimiter the newline because actually when we are streaming JSON objects the new line is we cannot have a new line inside those it is just not important to have new lines inside the JSON objects so this thing is called Jason Jason streaming you can how this demo will be uploaded when I finished dog on my github account so everybody can look at it so this you can actually check the stream I'll take this link a little bit later to kind of read more about Jason streaming so what I do here is basically I take to see if they I'm kind of like iterating over the whole data that I've collected and I'm kind of parsing all the different objects that I get inside and I just emit whenever I have an object any questions on this it's kind of like straightforward I guess yeah yeah okay good okay so I guess this is all like for the Jason part processing pretty much it works the same way as the protocol the protocol buffer one but why why why is is it not good like what what is the difference between using Jason structures and using protocol buffers well Jason first of all why are we using Jason nowadays one other difference between sorry I don't know my throat's kind of bad right now it's because you're on YouTube yeah probably so HTTP one is a text-based protocol and pretty much we're we're using it we are always working with text and Jason is pretty okay if we I mean it's it's the best thing actually when we are working with JavaScript doubly paid applications but it's not the best thing when we are actually not using a text protocol HTTP 2 is a binary protocol and that means that we can use other formats like protocol buffers that are binary and much much more optimal than JSON so the the hardest thing with JSON is that it's not it's not strongly typed and it's very for example when we were doing json.parse it's it's taking a lot of time to kind of parse the data so we it's taking a lot of time to encode the data on the server and to parse it on the front end right so with protocol buffers this is not the case there they're really cool they're actually kind of from there built by Google and basically what we have this is like a simple structure of a protocol buffer we can define different types of messages and each in each property of this message can have a type so we we can define for example that this is going to be a string and this is going to be an integer and we can actually use custom lis creates messages types inside our different properties as well and what we actually do here is that we kind of give them numbers this is kind of their unique IDs and yeah so protocol buffers are strongly typed this is really cool and whether I'll think that it's really cool is that their language neutral and plot for platform neutral that means it's their work on item they work on Co they work on every language and we don't have like this barrier that we usually have with when we're doing action when we're doing Jason to communicate between our front end application and the I can application by Barry I mean that we have to kind of like use this transformers that kind of like yet for example the that gets the Jason that I get that get the Python object and they kind of have to convert it to this JSON structure and then send it over the wire basically we can just parse it it's a protocol buffers and just as a protocol buffer and just send it over the wire so yeah this is why I decided to include protocol buffers here just because HTTP 2 is binary protocol and whenever yeah we have a binary protocol there there are much better ways to send data to the clients no other other thing that it's cool of course is that you can use protocol buffer suite for example mobile applications as well so it's it's they're really cool okay so this is why we actually have the other type here we have the protocol buffer processor okay let me just go back to the backends really quick to show you how my protocol buffer files look like so inside the server I have this folder it's called protists and inside protists I have this user proto it's basically the user message structure so insides oh yeah another cool thing about protocol buffers is that they're version so we can actually keep track of the different versions that we create and it's really kind of easy to kind of maintain so here basically I have a user message and the user message have has a name and this name is of course going to be a string and the H is going to be a floating point number and inside here let me just go to the [Applause] place where I'm actually sending the data is a protocol buffer oh yeah what I created here is this called protocol buffer parser it's basically a wrapper and it is here inside parsers so what I'm using is called protocol GS just a library that you can use either on the back end or the front end so now we're going to just look in the backend side here yeah so basically what I'm doing here is that I create I create these two types of parsers one is the receiver basically what the receiver does is that whenever I get some data from for example the front ends on the back end I need to kind of take all this data so this is pretty much what I'm doing here I just get the data from the stream and then I just look up for the certain type of message that I have depending on what I given to this function so in this example we're only using users the users proto so pretty much I get the proto message which is this one here that I showed and I kind of the code is straight think so okay in data are pretty much to the same pink I get the proto message and verify that the data matches the types that I have inside the proton so this verification checks to see if the provided values are for example string and a floating-point number and of course I didn't have to do that but sorry about that and then I just construct my message from this object that I receive that that I created and then I just say that I want this protocol buffer to be kind of delimited this means it's I'm sending a protocol buffer message to the to the front end on every protocol message on the front I'll actually have the size and depending on this eyes I will know if I have to process the chunk or not in on the front end so this is pretty useful and then I just write to the stream this message that I actually created so pretty much best this is all it's not this is for demo purposes actually decides that I'm out we actually don't need it here I guess but no I mean just because it's kind of strange because I'm here here I'm writing the buffer to the back end to the front end and then I'm sending it again so this is because I just wanted to test something and I kind of forgot to yeah but I used to set timeouts when actually I don't use that time also fun because I use I use their GPS intervals I use that all the time in product owns don't you see when you're using Eric trees just use intervals it's much much better and much much more beautiful for me okay so okay we saw what's happening basically on the backend pretty much when i when when we're actually sending the data is right here I get the from the protocol buffer parser I get the sender and they spit and then basically I just send the data that I want the front-end to receive which are my users and on the front-end basically if I go to my backends what I do here a little bit just a second and just need to find the part where we actually load [Music] yeah so it's this thing get decoder so depending on the type that I receive this is actually depending on the headers it's the server sends I can actually parse the response in either in JSON or either as a protocol buffer so whenever I receive in the headers that I want to parse the response as a protocol before what I do is that I send a request using the protobuf JS library to the server and basically this load requests what it does is that it actually fetches the same file that I was using on the server this user proto file here and what it does it actually creates this like route for my message pretty much the same thing that we actually did on the back end and depending on this routes I kind of like process the message so let me just go can you tell us again oh it's my fault because I told you that we have to like try to keep it under an hour because we're on our lunch breaks now that were earlier but you're also covering a lot really quickly so you don't tell us tell just for me what tell me tell us again the prototype buffer okay so the difference is that first is strongly typed so we kind of know that this thing the the property that we're sending is either a string or a floating-point number or whatever and the second thing is that it's actually binary okay so to use this instead of JSON so whenever we have whenever you have the option if you're using HTTP 2 you can use protocol buffers because HTTP 2 is a binary protocol and it's going to run much faster than using JSON if because just because JSON parsing and JSON string yeah just and parsing is really slow operation I mean encoding and decoding of JSON slow you iive in even people using asynchronous JSON parsers so this is really just another optimization that's afforded when you're taking advantage of HTTP to write yeah this is another optimization that you can actually use when you're using HTTP to it's not necessary to do it but if you really want if you're setting really big responses jasa JavaScript object responses or whatever object responses it's much faster for encoding and decoding those responses yeah so we have a Martin chaos monster in the chat it was late that's okay because we're glad he's here we love chaos cluster and he actually had a question and I was thinking about earlier because I was watching you and I was wondering because this kind of functionality like you could also do this with WebSockets or I would probably use craft QL for something like this but can you tell us if there's any advantage of HTTP 2 over WebSockets so yeah WebSockets their web focus on our upgrade over HTTP 1 so pretty much you cannot use WebSockets with HTTP 2 but you actually don't need WebSockets with HTTP - just because HTTP 2 is like a WebSocket and what is cool about HTTP 2 is when okay the difference between WebSockets in HTTP 2 is whenever you are actually opening a new tab on your browser each time each time you open a new tab a new WebSocket is kind of opened with HTTP 2 is not the same basically HTTP 2 is not stateless as HTTP 1 and this means that a single TCP connection is open for all of your tabs this means that as many tabs and as I open I have this single HTTP connection that is basically basically listening to the stream that I opened and whenever I push something all the tabs get it it's one stream ok it's what one disappear that makes sense yeah so whenever you're using first with WebSockets there are a lot of problems for example with firewalls with proxies so I kind of don't like WebSockets even though this this was kind of the only not the only way but the most easiest way to do real-time communication for example even what even Facebook they are not using WebSockets they they're also really hard to scale Stacy I like when it when it first came around it was very very very cool but it's it's been a while and so the technology keeps on moving yeah yeah like pretty far yeah yeah definitely the but there are a lot of disadvantages with WebSockets and basically I would prefer using HTTP - this is what I'm doing here and what I'm showing is actually that something that we used to do before when we were when we didn't had WebSockets for example before what we had to do is was code for example long long polling and what polling what what what long polling was that we actually send a request to the server and we wait for a certain time and if something happens on the server it basically sends the response back to us and then we send another request right pretty much I'm doing the same thing here instead of just opening and closing new the new connections I just send I send a request and I keep the connection open and whenever like there is a there is a change on the backend I just push the data back to the client and if the clients also wants to push something it can do that as well just because we're using HTTP 2 and we have bi-directional streams so HTTP 1 would not allow you to keep that open in HT know you can you can definitely keep a connection open with HTTP 1 but that means that it's you're using one of the six TCP connections that the browser allows I got you two not used right so yeah Ganga wants to know if WebSockets uses observables you know WebSockets they don't use observables but you can use observables with WebSockets pretty much if you if you're using Eric GS if you import from Eric GS / WebSockets the observable constructor code I think it was from WebSocket or something like that it can actually can create a stream it actually creates a subject from this WebSockets and basically you communicate through this subject so pretty much you have the stream that you want yeah but what you're saying with this HTTP to you ideally probably wouldn't use WebSockets anymore 20:17 y'all sorry I was making a joke Ilya last year we don't do that anymore but but definitely even now I'm not sure how you know but they are even announced HTTP 3 just because HTTP 2 doesn't solve certain problems with HTTP 1 we have this thing called head of line talking so basically if we have a very heavy request it can block other requests that are kind of faster and all the faster requests have to wait for this very slow request to finish but with HTTP 2 just because we have multiplexing this doesn't happen right but when you go on a little bit down on the TCP level what does TCP actually do it checks for each chunk if it was received right so basically we still have this kind of head of line blocking but it's on the TCP level so what actually they decided to do is to move HTTP over UDP because when you're actually using UDP s-- when you're using UDP you don't have to check if this package was successfully delivered and yeah basically this is what HTTP 3 is going to do is basically going to send messages over UDP and it's going to be even faster I mean it's going to be faster on lower connectivity networks for example if you're on a train and traveling through it so no or something like that you'll be I mean it will be kind of like faster to send messages there when you have good connection that's that's well we have a lot of people who are doing mobile development and that's very important and I think it's getting more important everywhere for all over the world this is so great ok so um I know you were so you were you were going through this demo and you were covering a lot of stuff and we kind of interrupted you and ask you questions do you argue you know did you finish it do we do we are you are yeah we do much I this is what my team was you can actually like see whenever you you're typing something you send it to the server it actually pops out to both browsers right so this is like the kind of real-time communication that I wanted to show so pretty much what I wanted to show here was the protocol buffers the HTTP - and yeah so I kind of covered it I guess so ok so this whole thing sorry they were talking me in the chat no problem okay so this whole demo is on github so I'll just how do I have a repository but currently is private I'm just going to kind of make it public and usually I put my demos here on my github account I have this repository called slides and here I put all the slides up from my talks and stuff like that so I'm going to put a link here actually Andre but just ask me fertilize this morning and I was like yeah I use github because I am very busy I don't have time to maintain a block and stuff so I just do the normal procedure I just push it to github so it's very very easy okay so also so everybody you can find his github it's a Lea and you can see the spelling of his last name right under the video and yes Martin I will also tweak it this is one quick thing that I forgot for people who are interested this there is like this library it's called G RTC and what G RPC does it's actually Creek it's actually uses protocol buffers but inside this protocol buffers we can actually create services as well so pretty much what I've created on the back end using not GS this library can generates all the code for you only from your protocol buffers so basically this message is this proto files that I that I showed it kind of reads them and it generates your API from them so you don't have to even write code it's really size so you can create like a models file yeah what that generated well yeah and it also supports these kind of subscriptions that I showed so internally it uses HTTP 2 and it also uses protocol buffers it's really nice very nice ok so I guess I I'm sure that I forgot something but ok that was awesome you covered a lot in a very quick amount of time and so everybody is gonna have to go back to Vienna and watch it on slow because there was a lot there but but I really like this because the technology keeps on moving and sometimes it's kind of easy to just keep doing what we were doing because that's what we know and we know that it works but then if there's something new out there that's a little bit faster or a little bit easier or better to use we have to kind of try to keep up with all that stuff so I really appreciate you coming on and showing us because I learned some new stuff today that I did not know this is how I do things I kind of like present certain things and if people kind of get interested they start digging around them so I do like it I like it Martin wants to know if there are schematics for HTTP to kinematics oh you mean for angular no I think for angular doesn't support fetch it doesn't support the fetch and HTTP to is just a protocol it's I mean it's not connected with angular in any way it actually has a client which uses HTTP - no no no I mean there's there separates they're separate like this is HTTP is the protocol but I gotcha yeah so pretty much they're separate that they're not connected in any way for example if the server supports HTTP to the browser will out-of-the-box use HTTP - so and your will use HTTP - yeah there's I think there's a disconnect between the client code and in the browser so it's like the client code doesn't necessarily have the the choice or the controller or that right yeah you just it's just abstractions but what you showed us today was like how to set up the actual back end server and push everything out which was very cool mm-hmm yeah I love it I love it okay I think we got to wrap it up because we all have to get back to work it's only it's only noon here in Texas and we got a

for map to San Hawk what an exciting first map we've had I'm joined once again by Kieran shakes a new jebel and our pro analyst Nicholas K brutality what a game man couldn't have expected for anything more what and why I think we expected little mortal Sikh warrior squad yeah definitely because it was a 3v1 scenario but ups just played that rich like a boss like literally I mean pixel peeked every single one of them and just held his ground he'll this come is is very difficult to hold your calm in that situation and you have like three footsteps just rushing at you because all of them were rushing but I mean I think we failed to realize that hey Sakura didn't have a helmet and I think capital phones didn't have a West either and ops was actually decked with the level three so it kind of favored to his side in the end and let's let's look at the scoreboard there's been a huge she's around the middle of the pack there's a big right Danny continues his dominance up top with 650 points underwhelming performance but being in the top 5 in short he still got enough points then we key Rex ops tied at 555 Sequoia are closing in the gap with 500 now lxg to doing extremely well for 65 hydrophilic for 45 Google X dot for 35 rocky 1 390 zone one three one five and game racks at 310 and then the bottom half we've got Alexi one blitz own cosmic yit gaming grounds to Robo Zone to rot Eastern second team I tgc gaming grounds one and rotties 1013 turning off the top three folks all these teams are competing in the Dell futures community Cup as their first steps towards their esports journey dell futurist enables passionate youth across india to follow their new-age careers driven by technology be it art photography film and now of course eSports and streaming as well now let's not waste more time let's jump straight in the game map to San Hawk these 20 teams are all set for action for this last map of the second a shade SK take it away look at the flight path it's all the way from North west towards south east should pretty much keep the entire map in play here yesterday we did see early on Hydra as well as Danny as going in towards paradise and looks like it's not gonna be any different this time as well yeah we've got a super crazy early fight happening here between squat and that is Vicki Rex and rotties team these are two very you know strong teams two top contenders for the prize and neither of them would have been hoping for an early engagement at least with each other at this stage indeed man as in fact one more team sick warrior yesterday they did drop towards Hutton and if people have been watching his screams that is one of the places he loves going every single time so that does give some information for some of these teams to adjust as well boot camp yesterday was completely empty as well I think there was blitz who were the pretty much the only occupants who eventually ended up getting caught in the middle when Hydra decided to disengage from paradise so this time it's gonna be squad 10 that is gg2 going up against rotties team Rotti again had a beautiful start yesterday map one map to not all that bad but today they've slowly fallen behind in the scorecard and they're gonna be looking to let me let's walk to the the big fight right here which is a hydra with Danny yes and Danny with a beautiful spray rejection is he gonna try and finish off gradual where we have BC an hydraulic push again Daniel the high ground beautiful spray down right there and almost wiping out the whole squad and hydra flicks gonna move to cover he's got to knock teammates yeah there's one more play here there hydra flick down to about half HP as the danny is still healthy would be busy looking you try and pitch approaches but you're crouching in the corner but Danny yes I don't expect him to be moving too much around that's gonna be a lot of Q given away to hydra hydra all the way at the far end looks like he's just gonna cut his losses and reposition but they did lose a big member of the team accelerate completely finished he won them the match last time around on san Hawk so that's going to be a big loss Danny yes I don't know whether he gonna go up for that finish or not but let's turn our attention back to words camp alpha as a rata steamed right in front of wiki Rex rotties inside he's heard the footsteps he's not trying to peek just yet he knows a lock is right outside and that's gonna be poor news for him as he's gonna jump straight into the Rockies and forth and get taken down one man down for vici Texas team now the three of them are going to figure out what they want to do with life yeah do they want to push in the Rotti they're just cold this calm here's the footsteps coming in pre-fire through that door and unfortunately he walked straight into those Rea of bullets coming right at him I'm ruled oh I think I'm not sure if he spots out safe they're all the way at the end unknown pandas also gonna spread himself out a little and now squatting there in a world of trouble they're all clumped up together and squad number six can easily take them out I think they just move all the way south and back out of boot camp just a couple of shots fired and ghostly boy lost about 20 hit points but they seem to they're in a favorite spot to like take the whole thing they don't want to take these early fights and they're trying to move away yes switching quickly to correct Londa he's got the flank they're on to GG boys he spotted them out great tickle trigger discipline while he's the rest of his team gets implicit he realized he places got nowhere to go quit taps coming in and he's gonna take him down with a headshot yep he gets the knock in and there's more bodies in that direction though but it's gonna go for that long rotate across seeing oh he's got the second player out pause the third as well this perfect control on this play so he does make it back to the safety of that tree there and he should be able to get the revive off as well on to blaze Kalandar though he's not done with him yet he's going for the long way the NATO coming in I think they find good guess the second knock in is and now saw Mitra I think the choice comes here to just kind of hold up another fight going on here waves and ghostly boy finding team number eight which is another rotties then squad right here so rotties then and in another squad fight here they completely finish off blitzkrieg and now waits his guard his eyes set on I think it's part of who's stuck in the warehouse and we see Costa for pushing as well Wiki Rex is gonna push in and team number eight just has like two other members but they're really far away so perhaps in a sticky situation right now he's gonna be facing a four-on-one onslaught you know I think they've just decided to leave for up to his own devices they're not going in for support at this point where the x equal the BSF wage is gonna pop spot em out and it's gonna be a VSS versus in sk us unless he lands three headshots it's gonna spell trouble for he's got the smoke there to try and get out he's oh he tries to duck and we but no doesn't even managed to get behind the pillar as ghostly boring map combined to take down part of and that is dot e3 they have been one of the poorer performance performers in the event so far and it seems like that run is gonna continue with an early loss once again it's gonna move towards ruins and we just have Google X God with squad number eighteen just chillin there and then we have rot Eastern at Camp Alpha yeah I think looking at this circle right it would be very interesting if it ended at one of the bridges or maybe just the mountain right next to camp alpha yeah because that really we got sick warrior as well top right side at the I mean top right top of the map where he can play gatekeeper and get a lot of kills at the bridge but it seems as though they wanna rush to that high ground mountain right now and possibly hold that position other than that not really you know any fights that we're gonna see because everyone's pretty spaced out at the moment so I think phase one and phase two are gonna be pretty chill and I guess we're gonna see a crazy phase forward to like you know and yeah the question is will somebody camp a bridge because you're gonna see most of the teams on the outside having to cross one of the other bridges right now LX g2 is in a strong position when it comes to holding off the pine Ambridge but they are heading towards zone 1 in pine on and then just northwest of them there's got gaming grounds one and of course Google X guard just camping the ruins ruins of course one of the most stacked drops in the game you get guns for days and they're going to be looking at taking advantage of that since the map does seem to be moving in that direction you have the three squads that are in the circle since the start its squad number 18 we have squad 19 as well as squad 6 all of these people were holding pretty much the same drop positions what they did yesterday as well so if teams have actually gone ahead and checked out what the teams were doing yesterday so they should have an idea of what to expect moving into the circle here as well that whole said their dynamic jart has been spotted by hydrophillic he's looking the wrong way and partially only a level one helmet hydrophillic all alone decides it's better to live to fight another day he is repositioning to try and get a better angle on these guys and get some more information he's got a car 98 in qbz so he can't hold his own but he realizes there's only so much he can do alone and hydra is gonna be very disappointed given their early loss going into sin Hawk because apart from maybe a few more position points hydrophillic himself is gonna be hard-pressed to get more for his team on the board they have a lot of momentum yesterday throughout the day map 1 and map 2 today they managed to fall a little behind and looks like Hydra flick is just gonna have to cut his losses here and ensure that they do continue to stay in the middle of the pack it's just so jam-packed right now no team has really to pull themselves apart so all the teams are definitely still gonna be at the thick of things here at the end of day two so hydrophilic definitely is gonna be happy with whatever points he can muster here for IR yeah let's take a look at the map once again as we start preparing for the fights coming into this circle push cosmic with a 4 X m24 set eyes on one of the lxd squads team number one which is flash yeah Alexi one Dora yeah captain was talking about the bridge camping but the bridge camper is coming out long-range I think there was Dora flash there in the far end taken a bit of damage but I think this is a fight they can easily walk away it's a 3 X car 98 versus a 4x car 98 and so it seems like the call is from Alexa do not fight there because they expect more teams to be moving in and they've got quite a bit of distance to make into the circle as well there are more teams clumped up I think that's brick stirs Rickster and co their squad number 15 who's waiting for them as they move their way in there is a drop not too far away from squad 15 I'm fairly certain somebody got this yeah so I've got my money on Robo and Rickster but it did seem like they were a bit late to the bottom seems like Hydra flick gets spotted out by three members of sunny Meister squad god a beautiful shot 57 hit points that was a body shot on a level two West but he has no clue that dynamic chad is actually gonna push out and flying towards the building yeah fppe no way to find that out there but looks like he's just gonna go ahead and stick me first eh yeah he's got a bandage because he's got only two first steps he can't really risk taking I mean using that for about ten hit points and he's gonna spot our dynamic yeah there are no patients coming in there with the car 98 doesn't really immediately go for the flick this buys this time but ends up missing the shot regardless and now the needs come flying in there Hydra flick pretty much back against the wall here he's ahead out but he's going to take damage here 29 HP one bullet needs to go for the read oh no he doesn't he just goes for the flickering godless and he's just fighting with fire here and Sonny Meister and co I'm just gonna push in for other Cale hydro flick switches over to the free/busy Kenny for the first no he can't trigger with the clean up and that is gonna be squad number 17 Hydra biting the dust yeah here we've got a lot of scores very close to each other we got Vicky decks we got lxg to then we've got gaming grounds one as well all within about 200 meters of each other separated mountains and trees and Alexi two has spotted out to the gaming grounds team and they were under fire by wiki that's just a little while ago and you might have seen them Blues Viper excel in the kill feed and it seems they've decided they're going to move to words squad 9 gaming grounds his first team in hopes for some kills and to get on the scoreboard and Saints just fell off I repeat say it from rotties then we see it has meat on him and this is gonna be another rotties then squad another 2:22 hit points and we see Boyd being taken down by wrong car Robo does have the high ground here and pulls up the car 980 for the player or goes to the chart misses out on to helium though he's just kind of straight up go back for the repeat their helium wouldn't hurt to take that fight at this point of time there is however brickster and Coe moving into its that adjacent building and yeah I think they're just gonna give up on this fight and reposition yeah I think we've seen a lot of teams be smart enough to not extend these fights unnecessarily because that's when things go wrong but Boyd he stuck around just a bit too long to keep the rear guard for Robo squad and he's now been pushed off by MLG wrong path and helium and they're gonna see him in just a few seconds there is this big cluster of teams southeast of the circle moving in meanwhile you also get sick or you're getting the knock on to morgue acts of then pour on top of that hill there they should be able to safely get the revive out oh I don't expect to be you getting in some fire Kakashi that's getting out but the trade comes in from captain ponds and and it seemed like drederick panic there and then let go of that revive II held it for almost six seconds and then he let go and ng you got shot so he's gonna actually get both the revives the smartest move but he's gonna reposition but we see avi coming up to words five yeah now look at what's happening here folks you have four teams all moving towards the same compound and bridge and there's gonna be disaster yeah frost but the first man under fire this very manages to make it through flash is already be boarded out I'll stay aboard of it it does get knocked out one of those ends up getting knocked as well any be able to find the kill on to frost punch who are holding that Ritz there and completely unaware the LHC walk in and I think there's another sport also under fire they're the Browns what squad number nine that is from gg1 do get caught out in their own compound they do have a couple of players spread out as well flash should be able to hear Sahil moving across but I don't think flash wants to take the chance considering he's the last man standing for John now he's just gonna play time slowly try and sneak his way into as many circles as possible in a few days moving up map has been taken down which doesn't realize what the shots and needs are coming from at this point and we've got more teams in the fray now Bravo behind the tree avoids most the damage there as Wade sprays away his whole clip now ma'am he's in the world to trap a wicked ex he's got the mp4 with a 4x he's gonna have to come up with a huge shot that Bravos us finding find I am ghosty boy as well as this is not looking good for Wicky Rex these guys they made up some good ground to stay on the heels of the leaders this last match but now it's looking at trouble fades finds the down on two Bravo as sahil returns the favor and it's all up to vici Rex now he's got to come up with the clutch revive and the kills yep the two players and knocked down on the side of Wicky Rex and team number nine I don't think they're gonna hang around and take this fight they've already dropped the smokes they can safely maneuver their way they're not gonna be able to get to the bridge but I can just easily swim out and back into the circle and yeah that's gonna be wiki rec so I mean for now but he's got a lot of squads to go through before he does make it into the circle let's look it here Robbo being pushed down by MLG in helium from Rotti second cafe robos hurt them he's realized what's happening takes up the a K and bam what an aid and spray down for the double kill there beautiful stuff i TG she's still back there in the smoke Robbo doesn't want to risk the loot in the blue zone as he starts moving eight seconds and counting as this progresses 16 minutes 17 minutes into the game guys we still got 16 teams and 42 players alive look at this circle red everyone has to push towards that hill yep and that is not like I told you a hill fight would be the greatest thing ever and it's a massive mountain that everyone has to push towards and Sicario is holding like all I think a majority of the compounds there then we have team number 18 which is Google X card and then we have real rocky and here's this is what this was interesting right rocky is actually going to get keep his own cafe squad right there whose xiv team number eight which is not ease then they're going to actually push into their owner squad and you know let's see how that that turns out and I think the squad number 14 that is harps ends up losing scourge they're I think they're down one member at this point of time so that's going to be a big blow to the leaders there and we see a knock coming in as well on to avoid from I think that's Robo boosting there are his cosmetics - yeah cosmic steam Cruiser cosmic they've spotted out Robo and boiled robos just about hanging on to dear life but he's got to swim now and that's gonna be the end of Robo as Joker Snipes him from afar and they're gonna I think share the spoils cruiser gets the kill for void actually seen the whole of itg sea cross onto the bridge but he still got his eyes set on Diras all the way in the distance he spot the people on the bridge he's just gonna let he did he - oh he finally spots out god at what the question is does he pull that trigger I think it's too much all alone here there is a few of squad members day and start firing away God it would taking a little bit of damage now has political she takes down sahil yeah the other side like this is confusing there's too many fights happening at the moment turning over to acolyte he's spotted outside help from GG one and his teammate is up for the revive now and I think I tgc knows they're being shot at and stalks from the other side Frodo JH has figured out where squad two or at least the general direction they'd be shooting from and when Andy gets spotted the taps come in doesn't quite connect as God of War gets taken away Johnny Walker and now things are all up yep and now though they're on the bridge there there's Wicky wrecks all the way behind the entirety of team number 20 so he can easily play his part in sport moving in they've already contained with fire coming but here's the thing for wiki wrecks a higher position matters just as much but he finds the Calandra Deena's behind him and I think I tgc has heard him wiki wrecks must now fight his way out a hell all of iit-jee see in front of him he's got an m24 and I think a qbz and I don't think all the will in the world is gonna be able to get him out of this little hole he's stuck in and what a shot on God at what I do GC rushes in for the revive manages to get into the smoke as Wicky Rex is forced to push in a coletek is right at goddddd wad he goes in for the spray but a kinetic finds him and that is at the end of Vicki Rex at 12th yeah that is going to really hurt their standings moving forward SK what's heavy horses on Hades he's gonna watch Joker and Andy right in front of him this is Wade's gaming deja vu all over again but it's his head he's gonna take them out because it is a one way to he can do like two quick sprays he's got the qbz and he's got the eye he's got the cube is he fully stacked with a compensator I know 2x he's heard both of them but it all comes down to whether he's gonna pull the trigger or not I think he's just gonna buy his time here we've seen too many times people go for that spray and initial immediately get taken out but another squad all the way across though he's just weighing out his options right like I see their second place in the in this leaderboard right now oh my God look at this he's he's just inches away he doesn't I don't think he knows whether it's just the two of them no but look look at this quadrant he's from a PC squad so he needs to hold position rather than the kills because they cannot lose that big point hall that they got last game which put them in second place oh he's got both of them in his line now and still no trigger I'd say a cheeky underhanded lob nade would be the best way to go look at your innards yeah he does get spotted out he takes a little bit of photo Joker but Joker there with the treat should be able to pick up 90 there as well so played it patiently but then again patient doesn't really pay off yep and meanwhile I think that's got it Wars ended up getting cut as well by HK and they there's no contest coming in just yet cosmic long range looking out for more he's not gonna be able to spite or find anyone I think that's towards the north here that is two players from lxg two who are just over that Ridge there is not gonna be able to spot them just yet Sadie boy on the other side with the car 98 does that the 4x and he's got good line-of-sight on towards cosmic and Coe if they do decide to push up through that mountain yeah looking at how this last circle stacking up we've got all of Rotti squad we got all a sick warrior squad we were all of Zone one squad we've got three members from Danny s we've got three we've got the full Google X guard squad so we've got all the top teams with their full squads this is going to be one hell of a last circle folks I am very impressed with how zone one has adapted from day one today they were pretty much nowhere in that top half of the leaderboard yesterday all of today all of a sudden map one they were there I think towards a circle six to seven and now they find themselves right in the middle compound of that circle they don't need to really worry about these small micro engages don't really need to worry about the circle pushing Oh IT GCM products both in the blue for this revive I tgc I think just gonna get picked up and knocked down right as soon as he goes up and pro dodges been told to leave but while he's 45 seconds yeah he should have managed the pick up because you see Google X got not making any sort of push whatsoever and then throw dodged again changing his mind coming back for that res his 30 seconds is oh he had to go back into the blue zone to reach itg see and if DGC has to cross that again is trouble and I think Sadie by finding cosmic YT there as Dan ESS quad is looking to build on that momentum yep they need to push up that hill there and unfortunately that was Sadie boy was waiting there for a long time dan yes over here we've got rotties entire squad lining up the Google X got boys from behind a rock now contrary to what it looked like they do not have high ground they are stuck behind a cliff they're gonna have to move out from it and be exposed to everybody who's above as the circle progresses but for now they've got Google X God you know at least blocked off on one side but they themselves cannot go anywhere cosmic YT on the other side his entire squad has got quite a way to go to get into the circle question now comes they can't be too sneaky about it anymore getting swatted out they just gonna have to take this fight here if they are to survive in map number 4 yeah we got a Kalitta call so right from itg see he's kind of in a good position but here we go Kobe say it's finds Google X God and that's gonna give thought his team of four we to advantage moving into this but are they gonna address out of this little hole they're stuck in because if they do not move they're in trouble Joker on the other side finds itg see you have joggers and they're in trouble he beautiful job he gets the knot it gets the kill with the NATO they're on what eight he gets the spray onto two players there and with that Joker lxg to do hold on but the standoff here between Google legs God as well everyone's got scopes and big guns out and they're rolling pixel angle is that first one to blink first one down I think this is like a big patience game but you look at endo his angle as well right he's he's literally holding like an arrow and just to put things in perspective this is the top-down view rot each team after this circle they're safe for this circle but next circle they have nowhere to go they are come home and a beautiful made from seed knocking down Google like Scott and our own loaf at three HP I think they're gonna take this opportunity to move in and take the fight real rowdy get slowed down by and ever and ever finds a second on two and on as well come on down now in a lot of probably spots the player rotating out he does manage to get the knock on to Google X got there he's got time for the revive here or a wall off but color close the wall HP clutches it out what a monster what a play there by Dottie steam I think they got a bit lucky that would say it's need that bought them that opportunity and they made the most of it traded the first guy traded the second guy and then a bit of luck with that one HP clutch coming in from car Atlanta but look at that Circle folks this is not where you want to be I mean you gotta step up take the risk and that is when Lady Luck is going to favor you and that's exactly what was the case there with Rotti once them they survived and they're somehow managed to dig themselves out of house predicament we see Sadie boy going in for the kill on Alexi squad but they are pro knees he's gonna spot one out who's the trigger or long-range spray-down coming in with the three X does find a knock on to Joker 90 now is aware of his position can you get back to cover no he can he is able to secure the kill up there 9d edge of the circle hold down there is a prefab again so said if I knows exactly where he's gonna be playing from he's brought down and it gets taken out as well wonderfully done there by Cena boy and that's 10 kills on Danny SS squad huge haul from them but that engagement has given away their position to draw teased and who themselves are sitting on eight kills but very low armor they've taken a beating I think almost everyone's got a knocked out and seek warrior squad they lose sick warrior himself to normad beautiful HR top of the hill are the end captain pawns are going to be moving up the hill and if they're smart enough if they look down they're going to see all of rotties then sk this is going to be disaster for the boys from Dehradun yeah let's see naughty is actually he's basically sticking to the Oh are these spotted them are correct Laura's gonna be the first one to go down he doesn't know where the rest of the squad is or in fact how many there are but now they know that it is death from above are these going around to scout as much as he can he'll be hilarious if are these sort of slipped off the edge and fell to his death a great a career beautiful hedge fund a from Roy from Danny s is quad coming - correct Ilan does rescue as are these own Gooden aid is the end of him goes in for that cheeky five point kill and that is gonna hurt sick warriors team's chances going into this final engagement as now city boy and Co have found out exactly where correct Lana & Co are not he's dead in trouble city boy again going in for the kill he's gonna push down he's in a spot and he spotted two members here he's gonna spot clear Atlanta again quickscope not able to like that short pulls out the 3xs no suppressing fire which is actually surprising city boy taking a lot of damage himself does get knocked by sake do they have the Gator boys praying and into the smoke but there is no one there in that position just yet they've managed to move all the way towards the western side that they managed to get a revived off as well it looks like he's just gonna stick this on city boy here and Roy is just buying time at this point of time it does have that Versailles both upset there many more bodies there though three fires coming in that's connector one two I think 22 damage you're onto a non they're just buying time for that revive to come through and then we see the reposition he spots one player out car 98 unable to land the shot he ends up taking a lot of damage himself there there's more Ortiz just holding ground he's actually just holding the edge and now we look behind Danny s yeah they're more squads creeping up from being yeah it would be yeah the zone boys have been going home they took out two members from Sequoia squad see for himself down a few seconds ago and now they're stuck between a rock and a hard place Nomad has spotted out Danny as he's gonna take him down with the qbz the suppressor going ham doesn't want to lose any opportunity for that you know five point kill now we're going to look at sick warrior he's got the angle that he's got fear in his sights he's gonna knock down fear but FD God is gonna push up from the side and that's gonna be the end of C quad here we are down to two teams zone 1 and rathi to cafe teams in the second map final round of the Dell futures community come Norman can go in huge there does get the knock in but he's being spotted out has to go for a quick heal there FD meanwhile rotating through he's taking in some damage himself ear out he goes for the freedom no he does and he ends up getting taken down and Rorty now in a position can be cleaned up no man go has already healed back up he will be dropped although he survives in as well just barely gets it in and he's gonna be able to heal back up st. doesn't really know there is one player behind enemy lines it is a 2v1 situation this is not where they want to be it is raw t and safe versus that's not fair all alone there but brought his team I don't think they heard him drop all the way down he went for that Hail Mary play I don't know yeah they have absolutely no clue and he's gonna slowly sneak in raw t I think he knows where he might be playing from he doesn't manage to spot him the circle is gonna start to push him soon he spots a thigh out but I can't get the knock they're gonna double peak him soon can I get yes he gets the knocking on rody one we won he can't go for the U but say he's so long HP that's way too nice to take the fight the need oh that's a funny of English it's only a flash that's not gonna secure the kill no it isn't no man it's your game to win he pushes through does he get the kill no he gets to secure though take this most of all he calls for the complete spray down and he sticks it there no man clutches it out one way to there at the end and the zone one becomes your first calf a team to take the chicken dinner here in the Dell future as community cup what a match it's one from left right throughout that last two phase engagement we thought they could been six possible winners at any given time and I think it was impressively from Rotti esteemed to move from that little you know hole they were cornered in move out and then finish second they losing out to a 1v2 engagement we saw it last time with Arps coming up huge with that one we three clutch and now this time nor mad with a one me two against two extremely skilled players day of clutches pretty much right I mean that 1hp fall and that could have been the end of zone boy that would mean a hilarious chicken dinner you died because he knew one because he felt the 1hp right it was like any other actually I would be like it was exactly it was like one HP and then he he finished I think he's lucky he admits there were no bodies where I needed to take out two members of parties and then he slipped I just had one of those you know he wanted to peek and see if anyone's below him and you know unfortunate but dude that it was so many random fights you I think the whole and last circle was just third party fights because you know Roy with that knock on are the changed that whole scenario because I think goddess karate steam was done if ideas alive because he if he threw that need done while oh correct Lord us being late view divided that's to bounce to down and then he got the high ground as well but Roy out of nowhere pops the head shot just says Adi cooks the grenade and unfortunate for him that kind of like let go of their position are they died and then captain pawns got exposed as well where Z fears from behind pushed push down and you know sick warrior got taken down it was just so much third partying you know and yeah you know props to that Danny s his team as well even though the lost accelerate at this at the beginning they still end up fourth with the powered word and this is what we were saying right even though they're not in the top two they're still in and around that edge with 11 kills you so they're going to still be in contention and given its to cafe teams not in the top three I think Danny s is still going to be in the lead after this but I think this is huge encouragement for everybody representing a cafe everybody trying competitive G for the first time there's nothing stopping you from and making a name for yourself and that's what Dell futurist community cup is about it's about enabling these young gamers from across the country to pursue their passions of eSports and streaming and take part in this contest and here we've got not just the winner the top do not know Matt is a hero like I think v is also a cafe team if I'm not mistaken guys three cafe teens and two streamer teams in the top five so yeah are they any of us expected this year cafe teams coming are huge on day two right now amazing amazing claim and I mean this Mapo is way more entertaining and even yesterday I think sonic seems to be like the map to go cuz look at the it's like a total bloodbath the first five teams mm-hmm yeah like 30 kills amongst all of them so it's it's crazy watching these guys step up again you know looking at the rest of the pack which is Google X card and the rest of them and one like all these team to step up because Google X part had the compound for body phases right it's not it's not like he had it at the end of the circle here for three phases but itg see they could have pushed them in he stood ground for some reason it was a four on two I mean yes you know there is a chance that it might be a four on four but it was like it took Pro dodge almost 30 seconds to go back heal himself come back into the blue and res I teach you see and you know and they went ahead and then picked up cosmic squad as well and say D by again playing spoilsport took down I think it was Alex G squad as well as cosmic squad yeah so good play from him but he again got third-party by someone else so that last circle who is probably I think it's all about it is that opportunistic player who's gonna see somebody else fighting and be like hey you know what I can be smart and get a few points for my team without exposing us so much you know wait for the NACO pop-up but the amount of snipers I saw in that last so yeah my god every single person has Auto team was sniping because it comes out of those shots when sick Wario went down I think he only had about 14 seconds when the zone push so captain ponds had to stay back and then pick up sick warrior I think one of I don't think it was captain ponds but yeah someone stayed back and what have enable zone to do is they pushed up they exited the compound which Sakura was holding them in the exhibit push down and then ended up picking up the win and the high ground again dry and weepy I think raw they all ride like her thank you that Nate kind of put zone in that winning position but rotties then again at last place eight shouldn't have gone for the rest I think that's my personal opinion he should have held the rock because it is a 1v1 and cruiser didn't hear a suppressor yeah right so slightly lesser damage compared to the compensator or m4 that I think say it was rocking he should have just peaked and taken the fight instead of sticking the rest down because the last circle you know it's a 1v2 and when your teammate goes down you know it's a 1v1 take the trade because he was out in the open yeah how Matt had no cover whatsoever and he just stood his ground I think it was a headshot at the end and exits helmet right off in the way and what's interesting is you know dot each team had an extremely disappointing first map today in Miramar they finished 16th you know if we can just quickly switch over to the scoreboard here from the previous round to show you what the standings were before this map and you know we can see how well they went if not dotty they were sitting in eights place right yeah now that will get a bumper 180 points from coming second and then about another 30 40 minimum points for all their kills here's that's gonna be a huge jump off here's the other big shift right yes Sikh Warrior was in the top five as well but copies and WikiLeaks were nowhere to be seen Yeah right so I think Appy's ended up around 11th and WikiLeaks as well they lost closely boy early they lost most of their members early I don't think they had a good placement so and Hydra flick they lost three members in the first fight to accelerate so that was a one we'd like in a 1 for 3 trail coming from Danny SS quad so that's gonna be a big shift writer and Google X card yes he secured a sixth place so he's gonna be around in the top ten but zone draughty are gonna prompt possibly move into the top you know that's right zone rowdy is definitely gonna contend for the top five here and after this Google X card game racks all these guys a little disappointing from them at lxg one and lxg two were taking turns doing well so it's a bit weird to see which alex is going to do well but it's good to see both of them in and around the top tenure and really encouraging for the cafe teams initially after day one we thought it might kind of be a landslide towards you know in the streamers favor with the cafe teams getting wiped out but you know in just 24 hours these cafe teams have really turned it around here and are you know saying hey don't count us out yes yeah yeah it's not yeah it's not the end of the tournament we still have two more action-packed days with four maps again we're going to be running in angles and Hawk and Miramar San Hawks oh hey man I don't know what's gonna happen now because you have now four games that you can go back and watch see what you did right see what he did wrong and then you have the whole week to correct yourself and then practice and you know I think a lot more teams are gonna show up and you know just take the take multiple check I don't think we have repeated chicken dinners yet for individual winner so that that's that's actually kind of crazy and I want to see other teams step up as well because we do have some big names in here like you said um yeah they need to step up there that's a really stacked team right they've they're always there but in the top five but they cannot close games yeah and they lose members way too early and then ops again unfortunate they it was huge clutch from him first game but ups went down very early and it was just Hades I think ooh yeah around Hades they're in a 1v2 versus a couple of players from a lexeme the Eagles it for a good ii think the moment he got up it was that crouched you know that's what he say prone to like crouch animation is almost like a second way certain ideas in it and he should have just prone and just continued spraying in that direction you've probably taken down Alex tree but yeah I'm stoked to see how the scores turn out and you know but you guys are all really certainly Danny s is still going to be in the lead but not by as much anymore it was just a hundred points but yeah like I said he did have a big deal and then the top-three kind of dropped perform drops right so we're gonna have the middle of the north Saku really gonna move oh yeah oh yeah you we're gonna see you two six much years the gap between first and second closed down as in a little while you're going to see the posters with the scoreboards go up all over social media but we want to know guys what city you're watching from in which streamer or

A8m36D9hR8M	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8m36D9hR8M	2020 League Of Ireland Playoffs First Round Game Bohemians VS Waterford	welcome to you all I'm Martin Tyler Allen Smith is with me as always we'll try not to make any slips in the commentary but there might be some slips out on the pitch Allen in these wet conditions yeah I don't think it's gonna stop during the course of the match so I don't think it's going to affect the game in any way in terms of calling it off but it might get very wet for the players I know how long they've been preparing working on the defensive aspects of their game long overdue you might think they still have the worst defensive record that they're bringing here into this game well they've got to start well but if they don't you could see three or four goals at least going in [Applause] and here it is the starting eleven for the home site today I think that back for is really important for them they've got to be strong and solid but they've got a bit of protection haven't they they have they should have more than enough I mean they're all good defenders in their own rights but in front of them they got players who are going to be working really hard whether they could be a foot on the front foot we're waiting to see we can have a look now at the starting lineup for the visiting team well we think Alan it'll be a 4-5-1 formation which can look a bit negative yeah but you look at the players in that five that midfield five and I think a couple at least will be trying to support the lone footman thank you and the game is kicked off they screen the ball well there there's a combination of skill and will to hold off the opposition I like the look of this attack good reading of thee by anticipating the pass and he can clear it here wolf it's with Holland we give that straight to the opposition Devaney swung he's got some room out here in the Y position it's a quick break far too close across to the keeper Duncan whoa it's with Holland please cut that out well well-read today that was the chance to go Wendell up and to score this early on would have given him so much confidence suck it is Holland Lynch a lot of defenders between them in the goal but they still got the ball Safari the veining here's a chance to go down the outside of the opposition options now for the pass still got a bit to do but this is promising good clearance [Applause] the veining and that goalkeeper could just saunter out and pick that up the veining but a space for him now out on the wing that's good defending Lynch it's with Holland good screening and he's kept the ball wolf some powerful clearance it's taken a touch there of the defender it will be a corner [Music] gone short with a corner he's aiming for the front post Swatt excellent vision shoots shot blocked here that's going to be a corner well the first site Ellen I must say it didn't look like it go it's good to have to replay because that helps us if it's tighter but that wasn't one of the tighter issues no I think we all knew it wasn't over although one or two other forwards were appealing with arms up but that replay that confirms it corners take it really away from the track here not very true [Applause] debating swamp here's the shot iced over hit isn't it and it's the goalkeepers ball and opponents around and that's good screening of the foot guiding the pass through trying to pick out someone in the center defender did well to get to it but it hasn't really finished the job the veining swab I'd come off the goalkeeper still in play [Applause] and back it goes to the goalkeeper probably now they've set it up well for the cross and it is a goal kick Devaney patience is the name of the game at the moment gotta shut off now good work by the goalkeeper Duggan it's with Holland [Applause] ward interception here being closed down here swung cleverly done fantastic shave not Sakura swung in from the corner good defensive clearance there and that's a headed away for a throne the veining was put in a good cross and the responsibility for his teammates to get there they didn't and now I throw it it's war that is a cheap piece of play to give the ball away like that sois [Applause] it's an excellent cross any danger to the goal is gone without clearance it's war that's a brilliant challenge quick witted quick in his movement to to intercept there it's war free spotted that deflection he's pointed for the corner this is the kind of pitch but I think attacking players favor Allen don't they I think they do yeah because it means mistakes from defenders and you know a little bit of miss control loss of footing and you in corner plate into the middle only partially away from danger Duncan Duncan it's worth Holland and they've got a man out wide whipped in from the wide area cleared away by the defender now this could be dangerous in a wide position defend it well [Applause] good fishing opportunity here and the keeper makes the save above his head safely enough referees given a caller corner played in goalkeeper got to it somehow any key bit better the tide has been headed and only one direction and can't see according to the crowd to get a call from short with the corner away well away from gold debating this is a good opportunity to put the ball into the penalty area now charge down wolf lose his possession to veining get predictable with the passing and the opposition able to deal with that it goes out wide again working hard just to see maybe a sight of gold [Applause] it's a good place to win the ball here it's given away now that's a trope Duncan out into the wide areas now gives it away divining strong fair challenge pulls out for throat Devaney and that's good support as they build this attack but a space to go forward into with the ball good defensive clearance there [Applause] plenty of width for the team to attack into is a good crossing normally but that's not a good trust okay Brown decision is the throats of fair tackle interception here room now out of the wing Duncan [Applause] this could lead to a chance it's good attacking play that's dealt with the problem sois it's war anticipated the direction of the pass and was able to intervene Lynch it's with Holland Walsh is Holland Duncan well he's got support here you can see the deflection there corner [Applause] swung in from the corner read away by the defender it's one back here's a chance to whip it in and out wide they were in a good position until that defender acted very promptly and decisively trying to pick out someone in the center in front of goal he's a really good player and he's taken the chance with some aplomb here he took it on and that showed a bit of courage when he was rewarded for his bravery with the perfect bully now sometimes they can fly to go sit but that one back in the neck well done son so the first goal it's one [Music] now Barry it's got some strength has neat to shield the ball like that woman it's still to come of added time and behind the defenders root for the cross good challenge here Duncan it's with Holland don't for the pool now Barry that's good movement forward here [Applause] patience is the name of the game at the moment the meet across that one and it's I passed them that's halftime at one nil [Applause] despite their very bad defensive record the visiting team going at halftime in front eventful first half Alan yes so far so good and it might be a backs-to-the-wall performance to see out this lead and the game is kicked off go buddy what's the chance to go 1 della and to score this early on that would have given him so much confidence corners taken not really away from the threat here hit it hard but not so the weather is terrible and it's remained so during halftime there's no respite for the players as they've come out getting another drenching at the style of this second half the planet surrounded that's good screening of the football trying to get behind the defenders to get in a good cross put into the middle away well away from gold veining here's a chance to go down the outside of the opposition we'll go back to the goalkeeper here can't blame him for that Duggan this could be the leveler that is another corner quick reaction time here from the goalkeeper [Applause] come on I swung in he could cross it now it's a good cross he's read that has me and made the interception made it look easy actually it's war right down the wing keeping the wide attack going it's given away but it clears the danger that would be a throat now you can cross it they're looking good when they get the ball out wide as they've done here looking to clip it into the middle the defender getting in the way Lynch debating tries to punch it away defend it well Wolfe's shredding it through take you on the defenders across this cause the defense any problems are certainly not the goalkeeper good reading of the by anticipating the pass well this attack got a bit of menace to it a lot of defenders between them and the gold but they still got the ball it could cross it from here a threat at the moment but they have got the ball and that I suppose is a threat just lost their way in the final moments of that attack pressed hi here while the tackle there has led to a throat - very good place to win the ball here nowadays a free cake [Applause] is he gonna be an inswinger on outswinger he can deliver these with both feet really whip at it reach brother goalkeeper to tip it over the bar and it's gone for a corner short corner designed to move the opposition around in the middle and here's the shot charts down good streaming and he's kept the ball a space to get the cross in shut up those scraps for the attackers to feed on from the goalkeeper that time come on to the ball well it's got some strength has neat to shield the ball like that I think the wide bands got a chance here this space out there the touch line really in the clear now is a super goal there is a splendid contest between these two sides nothing much between them of the shape of the game and now we're back again with nothing between them on the score line that's the end of the heroics at least in this attack he couldn't come up with the answer having been left exposed yet again yeah and look a discus from him and his defenders and I think that's fair comment because they've just left him it is level both sides have scored here now [Applause] Brown we've had an hour gone here and still 30 minutes left to bury Duncan threads it through that's safely away that's his game isn't it intercepting it's war and opponents around and that's good screening of the foot and that will be a three kick cleared away by the defender there's a dangerous feel to this attack it's looking good from their point of view it's with Holland typify the competitive nature of this game that tackle it's only a throwing is Holland cut out the pass now this could be dangerous in a wide position is Holland and that's deflected behind it will be a corner we've gone short with the corner [Applause] now that's good defending Brown it's with Holland they spread it out wide here chance to get some whipped into this attack trying to pick out someone in the center far too close across to the keeper good reading of the play by the defender [Applause] Duggan is Holland there's the interception opportunity in a wider area working hard just to see maybe a sight of gold good defensive clearance their case holler Duggan Lynch wolf need to time that tapper well it's Custer corner could have been worse if he got it wrong an injection of fresh enthusiasm from the bench [Applause] [Music] thank you put the corner in the middle and they get it away he's kept the ball good first touch still 20 minutes to go Swan really trying to use the full width of the pitch here to make some progress made sure the pass wasn't completed I see a substitute coming on for the away team here ducking is Holland wolf I spotted the past and cut it out ward Lynch plenty of width for the team to attack in - well the balls been deflected out so it would be a throw-in he's got options on the bench of course now Barry Ward [Applause] using his physical power to protect the ball well it's not the ideal conditions for viewing but actually for playing it's not too bad did you enjoy playing in this sort of rain Alan what did because when the surface is slick you get this how they love to play on the break oh it just the keep at the beat he went for power but he's missed the target yeah just decided to put his foot to it when maybe a bit of subtlety of absurdly better whoa to bury all this crowd demanded a response from the playas is that they expected to be in the lead now I throw it and opponents around and that's good screening of the football Duggan here's a chance to move forward from midfield after that interception still as we are on the score line but there's still time even this late in the game for a twist to the tale patience is the name of the game at the moment presented possession to the opposition now and it's back for another corner [Applause] [Music] gonna play dead [Applause] yes hallo it's with Holland with great vision here you should lay it off to the supporting player it's war it's time for the substitutes I think and the substitution for the home team here across this poster defense any problems is certainly not the goalkeeper it's war [Applause] he's to have got the great understanding with their passing well this could lead to a goal if he loses the ball it'll be a throne top performance today from him right on his game he's been substituted now and they're proud of loved watching his performance it's just all gone right doesn't happen all the time but one of those days where he didn't really put a foot long Swan and that's good support as they build this attack played away well away from gold we're into the last five minutes and it's still either sides go guided through fast can you finish it delivery to the far post shops brought very quickly it's a combination of skill and will to hold off the opposition it's got some strengths as neat to shield the ball like that they're looking to make the change now as quickly as possible the home team wolf tackle hit [Applause] Duncan I could have got through there but the defender was absolutely on top of his game to bury it's war good screening and these kept the ball threads it through little buzz gun around the stadium because they've realized that should be enough to get hold and hosed well they're breaking and there's a chance here to win the game yeah the referee signalling for the substitution to take place now he's going to go off and he's going to go off to a huge ovation yeah and look at him he's lapping it up and why wouldn't he's putting an awful lot of effort here quality Oh time to get the crust now that's great defensive play from him again is Holland bullsh what an excellent game this is and it's still not over yet they could still win it he's a good crosser normally but that's not a good cost okay ward but a space to go forward into with the ball well after 90 minutes the scores are level [Applause] have we done fantastic side that's a corner good fishing opportunities and the keeper makes the save above his head safely enough [Applause] corner plate in goalkeeper got to it somehow any keeper would be better that what [Applause] trying to pick out someone in the center that's the way to take the lead that's a stunning goal right move excellent application in front of goal he's a really good player this could be the leveler that is another corner quick reaction time here from the goalkeeper really whip that in breach by the goalkeeper to tip it up [Music] so we're off for the first period of extra time well under pressure here to hold the ball as the challenge came in plenty of width for the team to an attack into Duncan nice bit of interplay between these two excellent challenge break quickly when they get possession trying to find an opening on this counter-attack [Applause] shut up really hit it well enough yeah maybe just have enough balance there actually Duncan onto the attack now just going to be a talking-to he's not reaching for a card he's quite lucky they're fortunate to say the least it's normally good from these set place and his teammates are expecting a good balling put in with a bit of curl on it so that means it's a corner now come on I swung in away by the defendant another core in goes the corner [Applause] good interception on to Buckley got it back again from his teammate [Applause] put the corner in the middle there's the chance he's blocked the shot well is Holland it's war Berkeley guided through Chuck's fantastic goal good finish no doubt Martin that want the classic wonderful team effort well you get a lot of satisfaction as the goals going forward for knocking one in from that distance you know you're in the right place it was approaches effort the final finish wasn't difficult but to get there took a little bit of instinct [Applause] and we restart the game 2-1 Brown saw it coming cut it out good work and the planets around and that's good screening of the football couldn't keep it in players gone out for a throat O'Halloran Duncan it's with Holland it's war sois Brown we saw the guy could switch the play too and came up with the past as well excellent which room now out of the wing tried to pay it through cut out for the opposition well then it goes well across look good but it didn't turn out that way and the way team want to make a change it goes out wide again coming on strong and looking to play their way through now you can see what he was trying to do with the cross but it's a goal kick he's a bit disappointed he's going to be taken off here and management maybe saving him for another day but also allowing him to get the full appreciation from the fans well he was enjoying it nothing he wanted to come off but he's a key part of this team he's going to be protected well there's another 50 minutes to come the second half of extra time [Applause] referee ready to start this second period of extra time turn pass the work really to read the intention of the pass it's a combination of skill and will to hold off the opposition stared throat maybe he'll cross it here not long to go and another goal would wrap it all that corner swung in now Barry going forward well a church [Applause] O'Halloran wolf crosses blocked suave right forward a bit of menace in this attack [Applause] it's very good shielding of the ball but a space for him now out on the wing easy work for the keeper here well this is fascinating and the crowd are loving the the drama that we're watching here just the one goal in it in favor of the home team yeah careful that they don't start celebrating too quickly and that the players feel they've won the game before they actually have still time eight minutes to go Lynch to really get at the opposition here you could cross it now makes the challenge here eight minutes left in the second half of extra time and here's Buckley well this is how the game many people believe should be played it's always been a passing game but they passed with purpose - they have and I love the way they using the full-width through the pitch here attacking team not happy about that offside call but we can see it again here well he is quick this lad and he could afford to give himself another yard I think he's got the beating of these defenders in a grace [Applause] and that will clear the danger throw in here [Applause] ward looking to use the full width of the pitch in this attack ward [Applause] and the blocks the cross good screening and he's kept the ball looking to widen the play really widen the build-up for the balls just run straight out over the touchline trying to pick out someone in the center and they get it away they've gone wide chance to get the ball in the box looking for teammates in the middle he's got it away he still the look from the other player and thought where the pass was going and read it I think the white man's got a chance here this space out near the touch line far too close the cross to the keeper his physical power to protect the ball excellent interception [Applause] well if only they played like this a bit earlier they wouldn't be in this position they're chasing the game it's an excellent cross put away but not out of harm's way we're excitement now and they're sending pretty much everybody up for this late corner equalizer might be on the cards call a plate into the middle cleared away well away from gold and it is a header it's over now after that period of extra time and the referee has signaled the time is up extra time is up well even on the pitch they're talking about what went wrong in this defeat I thought you know 1 or 2 were posting out there that's inexcusable good fishing	259 Sports	UCjlNs0rVSZmNYdTagZkkc0g	2020-05-10	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

OCOuyq-rg9g	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCOuyq-rg9g	Mod-01 Lec-07 Medieval philosophy: St. Augustine and the Problem of evil; St. Thomas Aquinass	welcome to this lecture on aspects of western philosophy lecture seven and this lecture is on medieval philosophy and uh primarily there are two important thinkers the contributions of two important thinkers are going to be discussed in this lecture the first one is c interquestion and the second one is saint thomas aquinas these two important thinkers are selected because of their contributions because of their relevance in the hall of philosophy on the one hand and particularly in the development of what we today designate as scholastic philosophy or medieval philosophy so the important topics which we are going to discuss today are saint augustine and this problem of evil saint thomas aquinas's concept of faith and reason and the third one is proof for the existence of god which is primarily proposed by saint thomas aquinas so these three are the important topics which we are going to concentrate today and when we talk about medieval philosophy as i've already indicated the important thing to be focused is primarily the contributions of christianity as a philosophical theology that is going to be discussed and uh when we talk about the relationship between philosophy and religion primarily christianity in the context of europe it is during the last period of hellenic speculation christianity became popular in roman kingdom so it was during that period when there was a visible decline of the roman empire on the one hand and also the glorious greek philosophical era on the other hand so these two were happening simultaneously on the one hand and on the other hand you could witness the emergence of christianity as a more organized religion so christianity required a philosophical support on the one hand and these two civilizations the roman the greek roman civilizations they require certain institutions or some very strong institution which would support cultural life because the with the demise with the decline of the roman empire there is no strong institutions in europe which would support strong cultural institutions on the other hand christianity as a religion cannot progress without strong philosophical and theological support so this particular period in human history in european history is very crucial because it brought together two very important institutions or two very important uh periods actually one is the greek roman civilization the philosophy their culture and their moral and world outlook on the other hand christianity as a religion and this is what i mentioned during the last period of hellenic speculation christianity became popular in the roman kingdom and on the other hand in turn christianity was influenced by the philosophical traditions of greek or roman world and again to give a rational expression to fundamental christian beliefs christianity required philosophy the hellenic thought early christianity had to justify its faith to reason because the greek roman culture as we have already seen in the previous lectures of this course was predominantly rational their methods of inquiry were rational and the greek civilization had already given birth to many phenomenal thinkers like socrates plato aristotle and many others and christianity on the other hand is a religion which is primarily based on faith but with faith alone a religion cannot gain acceptance in a culture you need to justify faith in the light of reason so this is what christianity or the christian early christian thinkers were trying to do so the apologist philosophically defended faith in the christian tradition this is what the apologists did they philosophically defended faith and they also had to formulate doctrine and theories like philosophers formulate doctrines and theories in order to substantiate and justify their world pictures these thinkers also had to do that to what is revealed through the bible has to be justified rationally by formulating doctrines and theories to expose systematize and demonstrate the christian dogmas by the schoolmen and this in these attempts of the schoolmen the birth of scholastic philosophy what we today understand as scholastic philosophy has emerged so i repeat to expose systematize and demonstrate the christian dogmas in the light of philosophical theories developed by the greek philosophers primarily by plato and aristotle so the two important thinkers i have mentioned just now saint agustin and saint thomas aquinas we can see the influence of both these great masters of european thought plato and aristotle agustin in i guess nagistan's philosophy will see both the contributions or the influence of both but saint thomas aquinas is predominantly an aristotelian he had he's a person he's a philosopher who had written commentaries to aristotle's work and taken a lot he has taken a lot from aristotle's philosophy in order to justify and substantiate christian faith now scholastic philosophy it accepts the truth of christianity without questioning them so this is one very important point to be underlined scholastic philosophy asset though we call it philosophy though the rational aspect is emphasized wherever there is a tension between faith and reason scholastic thinkers had a tendency to accept what is important in faith they always considered faith as more important than reason though later on we could see that there are attempts particularly by people like saint thomas aquinas to find out that there is no real tension or there is no real contradiction between faith and reason but still the acceptance of christian belief or christian dogmas without questioning them is so central to scholasticism philosophy at the service of religion handmaiden of theology so we could see the birth of systematic theology during this period and philosophy has been treated as in handmaiden of theology it's just at the service of religion and then we can see that apostle paul offers a christian theology for the first time so it is often said that saint paul is responsible for the institutionalization of christianity as a religion that is because he's the first one to offer us christian theology per se in the most systematic and accepted manner the gnostic attempted developing a philosophy of christianity this is what is uh followed the gnostic that tried to develop a philosophy of christianity and uh by reconciling greek metaphysical doctrines with the darkmarsh of christianity so i have mentioned in the beginning of this lecture itself that this is precisely the aim of scholastic thinkers to reconcile the great philosophical metaphysical insides of the greek tradition with the principles or with the revealed truth that is present in the bible the apologist followed with more systematic approaches so this is how scholastic philosophy gradually developed and when we talk about medieval philosophy we can say that it is the period from the end of the roman empire in italy until the renaissance so this is what the the historical period which we mentioned too the period from the end of roman empire in italy until renaissance italian reliance until that period we normally designate we normally refer to as as medieval philosophy or scholastic age we can be more precise by saying that it's from the 5th to 15th century 80 almost 1 000 years this period is also known as dark ages because these people as i have already mentioned considered treated philosophy as an animation of theology it is at the service of religion faith was more important than reason so in that sense philosophers started calling it uh dark ages the philosophy of western europe between the decline of classical pagan culture and renaissance and that which dominated european thought from existing to renaissance so another way to put it is this from saint agustin to renaissance so saint agustin in that sense is a very important a very crucial thinker in this whole tradition of medieval philosophy but at the same time we have to recognize we have to realize that saint the question is a very important philosophers in the whole history of european philosophy so this is what we are trying to do in this lecture latin was the sanskrit of medieval philosophy sanskrit in india was the language of the learned class it was the language in which all scholastic all scholarly works were composed of in india we can see all great puranas sastras everything was composed in sanskrit similarly latin was the sanskrit of medieval philosophy all great scholarly works across europe where were written in latin not in their respective mother tongues so even we can see that even french and german philosophers when they write they write in latin not in their respective mother tongues and now let us see some of the very important historical factors that triggered the development the emergence of scholastic philosophy as i already mentioned the collapse of roman civilization and other related important historical events come to our mind this is a very important factor the collapse of roman civilization as i already mentioned in the beginning of this lecture afterwards the empire's social structures also collapsed this is very important any great civilization it requires certain social structures which was very strong built on certain fundamental moral assumptions fundamental certain certain fundamental beliefs so with the collapse of roman civilization the social structures of the empire also collapsed so the european civilization required another social structure another set of cultural social structures to sustain its civilizational beliefs or its civilizational strength the church was the only institution in that sense capable of supporting intellectual culture in the entire europe during this period and till 12th century this was the situation so we can see that you know from 12th century onwards there is a gradual change by 15th century it culminated in renaissance but till then it was all dark ages christianity was the only institution it was the only institution which supported all forms of intellectual intervals in europe during that period almost 1000 years and now let us see the major influences of scholastic thinkers scholastic the school men and primarily two philosophers whom we have mentioned but there are many others the two important thinkers as i have already indicated are plato and aristotle the doctrines of plato and aristotle and the entire athenian philosophy not just these two thinkers the hall of greek philosophy were with philosophers or philosophy was a great influence for this schoolman but primordially these two thinkers and uh one of these cool men uh virtious who lived between 480 to 525 80 wrought commentaries on plato's and aristotle's works slowly they are trying to digest the greek philosophical insights into christianity the jewish tradition was another significant influence because primarily christianity itself is an offshoot of the jewish tradition the jewish civilization the old testament is an accepted text for all the three abrahamic religions so the jewish tradition was also a great influence for them the early islamic philosophers were also influenced by the greek thinkers so their influence is also visible in the development of scholastic philosophy and even the indian thought indian thinking though uh many western philosophers won't accept it or acknowledge it openly there is a sufficient reason to believe that the greek philosophers themselves were tremendously influenced by indian philosophers indian thinkers there was a very active commercial and other forms of cultural interactions between these two great civilization the greek the european the greek or roman uh primarily the european civilization and the indian civilization so naturally there were a lot of exchanges intellectual exchanges that had taken place during this period so the influence of the indian thinkers or indian philosophical traditions were also there and it was acknowledged by some european thinkers and naturally when the christian early christian philosophers when they when they try to accommodate or when they try to uh sort of interpret their dogmas and beliefs in the light of greek roman philosophical tradition these insides of these great other philosophical traditions also would have played a very important role later by 12th century aristotle became more influential or rather aristotle became the most significant influence on the scholastic thinkers now let us see a little bit of platonism and christianity because plato the first system builder in european philosophy has come up with a very uh special kind of philosophy which uh separated which induced a dualism appearance and reality what appears this world this world of sense experience according to plato is unreal what is real reality is constituted of abstract universal ideas or forms which are eternal which are imperishable the world of these objects are subjected to destruction while eternal realities will never perish this is what the crux of his philosophical ideas were and in connection with this philosophical ideas plato also developed a theory of eternal soul which was taken by christianity as well because according to the christian belief the salt the human soul is also eternal the moral development of the soul is also something which christianity would have taken from platonic philosophical assumptions and the separation of the salt from the body because there is a fundamental separation plato envisages between saul and the body sol is something which is eternal body is something which is perishable and which is reminiscent of the form and matter distinction which plato makes but of course there are certain difficulties that are certain significant problems which christianity faces when it tries to interpret its fundamental dogmas in the light of platonic thought the first one is the doctrine of resurrection in christianity and plato's notion of reincarnation so plato's notion of reincarnation is almost very close to the indian concept while christianity never believes in reincarnation christianity the nation is resurrection there is a christian world is constituted of the heaven the hell and the world so there is a heaven and the natural abode of the soul is the heaven it has to go back that is a teleology built into it but plato conceived the possibility of reincarnation rebirths which is very close to the indian belief so there is a kind of tension between these two assumptions and again plato envisages a union of the soul with the ultimately good this is again i would say a reminiscent of the indian ideal the the the conception of the atman the soul being one with uh the ultimate universal soul which is conceived by plato in a very significantly different way but still you can see that there is a sort of similarity between these two views but christianity never conceived it christianity separated god from man god is a creator for christianity and it uh to conceive that uh the human soul or the individual's soul becoming one with the universal soul or goddess baptismus according to christian belief so these are some of the difficulties which christianity as an organized religion encountered with platonic philosophy with these uh fundamental ideas in mind let us now start examining the contributions of saint augustine who lived between 350 380 to 430 80. saint augustine is conceived as the most influential of all middle ages thinkers and it showed that there is no fundamental opposition between religion and philosophy or faith and reason so usually there is a belief that faith and reason won't go hand in hand there is a fundamental contrast or fundamental contradiction or tension between faith and reason because faith demands absolute faith absolute submission to something without any questioning and reason is always built reason is always sort of based on questioning why why certain things happen so there is a contradiction between these two but agustin was trying to show that there is no fundamental contradiction between reason and faith or philosophy and religion religion can aid philosophy in its rational pursuits this is what he was trying to assert and christianity can be enriched by revealing its philosophical basis so this is what he thought by revealing the philosophical basis of christianity philosophy can do a real service to christianity so he was trying to do that and this his book the confessions which is even today conceived as a classic a philosophical classic is one of the most influential and important philosophical works of all times so uh this is what some basic information about saint augustine and when we talk about his intellectual endeavors the works of the platonist influenced him significantly so we could see the influence of plato here in the case of saint thomas aquinas the influence of aristotle is more visible but here agustin was more influenced by the platonist the separation of physical from spiritual substance is a very important problem in augustine's philosophy and again uh when we talk about his important philosophical views the only knowledge worth having is the knowledge of god so this is from where he starts so we can see the the influence of plato here even in plato the most significant the most important knowledge which according to plato is wisdom the highest wisdom is knowledge about goodness it is the knowledge about goodness so plato actually starts with that question all his philosophical intervals begin with the question what is goodness how do you know it similarly here goodness is replaced by god or rather equated with god augustine equates goodness with god and affirms that the only knowledge worth having is the knowledge of god god created substance not only order and arrangement so everything was created by god including substances everything in this world order arrangement god was responsible for everything in this world in this universe and time was created when the world was created till then there was no time before god created world there was no time with the creation of the world time also emerged god is eternal and hence timeless god is beyond time it is god who created the world and time so he is beyond all that so these are some of his fundamental assumptions which is again taken from or rather substantiated by uh plato's philosophical uh positions god is the ultimate source and point of origin of everything in plato it is the idea of goodness from where everything emerges so god here is the ultimate source of everything god is equated with being goodness and truth so this is augustine's position you can see a dualism here see here you have something called the sensible world the sensible world is private and isolated transitory objects and on the other side you have the intelligible world which is public and open to all enduring objects and he says the intelligible rhythm holds out the prospect of fulfilling our desire for the unity that we seek in friendship and love a unity that we can never really be achieved as long as we are immersed in the sensible world and separated by physical bodies subject to inevitable dissolution so this is again platonic that can never be achieved the highest goal can never be achieved because it's something which a prospect of fulfilling our desire for the unity that we seek in friendship and love so this can never be achieved if you are stuck to this world of perishable sensible objects again when you talk about legion and philosophy the question of faith and reason the relationship between faith and reason comes into picture reason is capable of comprehending god this is what augustine was trying to effort because usually there is a belief that reason can never attain reason can never comprehend god god is a matter of faith but augustine underlines the fact that reason is capable of comprehending god god has given reason to us because the primary purpose of reason is to understand god understand everything including god so it is god who has given us reason god has given us reason in order that we may know all things including god to philosophize is to see truth directly and without the intervention of the eyes of the body and again reason is the eye of the soul so he is trying to equate again you can see the the influence of platonism he is trying to equate reason with not with the body but with the soul that separation is so fundamental in plato as well as in agustin so reason is the eye of the soul wisdom is the highest truth after which we should strive like plato and again wisdom is nothing but god and to have wisdom means to have god again platonism goodness here it is god wisdom is nothing but god and to have wisdom means to have god so here agustin makes a point very clear he says that true philosophy is identical with true religion so there is no real fundamental separation between philosophy and religion as if you know we can see with today philosophy is a rational interval which deals with secular objects and on the other hand religion is something which is which demands faith acceptance this and that no the true philosophy according to him is true religion itself and both have the same strivings for the eternal it's based on the same principle to understand the eternal to know the eternal so both philosophy and religion aim at that god despise reason his first born son which is god himself to us in order to make us more perfect than other beings and again chronologically faith precedes intelligence so this is what he was trying to assert so though there is no fundamental contradiction or tension between these two chronologically faith perceives intelligence in order to understand a thing we must first believe it then we can try to rationally comprehend it faith is a condition of knowledge he asserts this it is a condition of knowledge and it's a provisional state inferior to knowledge and ultimately resolves itself into it so every knowledge begins with faith according to him understand what we firmly believe see the rationality of our faith and understand in order that you may believe believe in order that you may understand this is a famous augustinian phrase i repeat understand in order that you may believe believe in order that you may understand they are mutually complimentary for in a scheme of things when you focus on the concept of god it is so central to augustine's philosophy for that matter to the entire medieval philosophy but for existing more importantly god is the being beyond whom outside of whom and without whom nothing exists everything is god in that sense so it looks like a sort of pantheism which is actually not correct but god is the being beyond whom outside of whom and without whom nothing exists god is the beginning the middle and the end of all things again he is good and yet without quality he is good and yet without quality he is great without being a quantity so agustin was trying to sort of capture this god which is non possible to capture with reason alone so you could see that he develops a scheme which involves everything reason faith understanding comprehension everything and everything surrounding the concept of god which fundamentally remains as a as a as a reality which is identical with goodness goodness justice and wisdom are not accidental attributes of god but his innermost essence god is goodness itself justice itself wisdom itself they are all innermost essences of god omnipotence omnipresence and eternity are his divine essences so these are uh innermost and divine essences of god and everything is in god though he is not the all he said puzzle or rather he goes beyond everything though everything is in him he himself goes beyond everything you cannot put everything together and say that it is god god is not just a combination or a putting together of everything he goes beyond all that again he is the creator of intelligence and yet superior to it he has created intelligence no doubt in that he has created reason no doubt in that but he is beyond that he is beyond his creations the creator is beyond his creations creator is greater than the created objects he is present everywhere without being bound to any place you cannot bind him to one particular place and say that god is here god is everywhere he is present everywhere he exists and yet is nowhere we cannot say that he we cannot pinpoint him to one particular location and say that he belongs to that location he lives eternally and it is not in time he is the principle of oil change and yet immutable and recent encounters antinomies in speculating about god this is an issue which we are going to discuss further when we come to modern philosophy particularly to the philosophy of emmanuel kant and hegel because it was immanuel kant who highlights this issue that reason encounters antinomies when uh it tries to speculate about ultimate reality so augustine also recognizes this and says that reason cannot comprehend god completely recent states what god is not or with reason alone one cannot contribute god's nature in its entirety reason can only conceive god partly not completely but one cannot comprehend god in the fullness of his perfection to comprehend god in the fullness of his perfection one needs to be perfect but no one is perfect except god so god's creations cannot be as perfect as he himself is so in that sense complete or absolute or perfect comprehension is impossible god is in that sense absolutely holy and cannot will evil in him willing and doing are one what he wills is done without any intermediate being and again in him are all ideas or forms of things so everything is there in him though he goes beyond everything else everything of its form to him he is the ultimate creator of everything and he created the world out of nothing a continuous process of creates a continuous project it goes on world depends on him every time world depends on it's not that god has just created world and left it like that it still depends on him every moment it depends on god time and space are also created by him god has created matter god created the world and on account of his infinite love and this is what he say so as i already mentioned if this is a case okay if everything is created by god in in one sense we can say that then everything is god because he has created everything but as i already mentioned this might indicate a kind of pantheism which is actually not correct pantheism is the view which says that god is world and world is god identifying world with god or god with world is pantheism augustine's position is very close to pantheism but is fundamentally different because he says that everything is in god no doubt but god is beyond everything god is more than that god and the world are different in that sense they are different the doctrine of x in hilo is something which makes him not a pantheist and now we come to a very important problem which the hall of scholastic philosophy grappled with the problem of evil i would articulate it in this way as it is done by david hume in his dialogues concerning natural religion he is he or the deity willing to prevent evil but not able then he is important is he able but not willing then he is manivalent is he both able and willing whence then is evil so this is a question or to put it in another words where does evil come from seeing that god who is good has created all these things good augustine in his confessions so the problem is to articulate it differently god is the cause of everything god is absolute goodness the hall of creation is an expression of his goodness everything that exists is then good he would have built everything for the best of his creatures then what about evil if all these propositions stated above are true if god has created everything if everything god has created is good for his creatures then what about evil evil also is his own creation evil cannot create itself so everything is created by god including evil and if everything that is created by god is for the good then evil also should be for the good which involves the contradiction so if everything is good then evil also must be good how can he will be good is it a contradiction this is a problem the problem of evil now let us try to understand the answer the way in which the these thinkers provided a solution to the problem every kind of existence is good even evil this is what they say like the shadows of a picture it belongs to the beauty of the hall this is a guesting's view like the shadows of the picture which which is actually a limitation of the picture in one sense the shadows are something which is unavoidable inevitable limitations but they add to the beauty of the picture evil as such is not good but it is good that evil is evil is present it is good because evil is a prohibition of essence evil is the omission of good it depends on the good it is only an absence of good it's not a positive presence it's only an absence like a shadow if there is no good there is no evil privation of good is evil it's an absence it is the absence of something which nature ought to have so in that sense we can say that moral evil comes from a defective will the worst evil is turning away from god now the question is why did not god omit evil which he could have as nothing is impossible for him nothing is impossible for god so god could have omitted it but he did not do that why he preferred it to serve the good this is the answer given by augustine he wanted he wants evil to be there to serve the good to enhance the glory of the universe so this is augustine's view real evil does not exist evil is a privation of the good the presence of evil makes man responsible and this is how he tries to so augustine takes up a very some of the very important some of the very crucial questions of scholastic thinking scholastic philosophy and tries to answer them the first one is the concept of god itself is elaborated by augustine and when you try to understand the concept of christian god as a creator god as a father figure then and particularly try to philosophically substantiate this view then naturally you encounter several problems like the most one of the most important problems which you encounter is the problem of evil and the answer given by augustine to the problem of evil is that evil is only a privation of goodness it's like shadows of a picture which would add to the glory of the universe rather now with this we'll uh wind up our discussion on the contributions of saint augustine now we'll come to the next philosopher saint thomas aquinas who is a very important thinker as i already mentioned these two are treated by many as the most important thinkers and when it comes to saint thomas aquinas the primary objectives are to demonstrate the rationality of the universe as a revelation of god relationship between philosophy and theology and faith and reason to bring out this to show how philosophy and theology or faith and reason supplement each other to demonstrate the superiority of faith which every christian philosopher every scholastic thinker was trying to do this when you see saint thomas philosophy as i already mentioned in the beginning he was one of the scholastic thinkers who was greatly influenced by aristotle while augustine was mostly influenced by plato you can see the influence of aristotle more prominent in thomas there is a synthesis of christianity and the philosophy of aristotle in thomas uh works and he had uh written commentaries on aristotle's work like on the sol nicomachean ethics metaphysics all these are very important works in in aristotle's philosophy and activist approaches uh uh as i already mentioned christian theology prior to quinas was predominantly platonic like plato it refuted concrete physical reality and emphasized the realm of abstract and purely spiritual forms and ideas aquinas adopted a form of aristotelianism and opposed this predominantly platonic point of view which was there in scholastic philosophy so when you try to understand this aristotelianism aristotle is different from plato primarily because in aristotle the kind of dualism which plato maintained this absence of course aristotle was also a dualist but for plato form and matter are absolutely separated one is real the other one is unreal but for aristotle maintain both for him both form and matter eternally coexisted he treated the abstract universal forms as well as the concrete objects in this world as equally important so the physical word for aristotle has some value similarly for aquinas also the world which is a creation of god is a valuable world is an important reality or in other words soul and body are in a union like form and matter in aristotle soul and body are in a union and against the prevailing body negativism for which plato was responsible body and the natural world have value in aquinas philosophy so as in the case of aristotle we can see a compromise here as well the domain of god which is pure and the world which is not as pure as the former knowledge of god faith or reason so these are all issues which we'll find in aquinas philosophy and when we talk about knowledge and the role of philosophy all our intellectual knowledge rise from senses so here again like aristotle who believed that all knowledge begins with sensations he also says that all our intellectual knowledge rise from the senses all philosophies start with what we know uh about existing objects and common starting points to human thought are grounded in sense perception and philosophy should identify them aquinas is aristotelianism unlike plato aristotle saw the empirical world as real as i mentioned knowledge about and the empirical world is a major concern for aristotle and for aquinas as well created world is not to be completely negated scientific intervals can be legitimized and reason has its place and value in human intervals but it has its limitations as well so again we are back to the problem like reason and faith how to reconcile them so there is another way which aquinas tries to reconcile reason with faith with reason alone we cannot demonstrate things like trinity incarnation originals in creation of the world in time and sacraments etc there are certain things which you recent cannot understand philosophy cannot deal with these things say for example the concept of trinity which is so central for uh christian world the christian dogmas one of the very important christian dogmas which cannot be understood by philosophy they are revealed truths beyond reason not objects of philosophy can neither prove nor disprove them so reason alone we cannot either prove or disprove them yet they are not unreasonable so to understand this to accommodate this he develops a two-fold theory of truth about uh the religious claims religious claims always call for a twofold theory of truth one the one which the enquiry of reason can reach can't understand say for example that god exists so reason can give provide proof for the existence of god which he actually gives and that which surpasses the whole ability of the human reason which reason cannot do anything see for example the conception of trinity so he was trying to argue that there is no real contradiction between these two the one which is recent can understand and the one which surpasses the domain of reason and matters that are revealed are not necessarily unreasonable this is what he was trying to argue if we believe in them their reasonableness would become clear so faith in that sense is presupposed we cannot provide rational proof for the mysteries of religion they presuppose faith faith is a matter of will that commands acceptance and it is an inner instinct coming to us from without something which comes from within something which is part of our natural constitution according to him god invites us to believe it is it is god's own invitation in that sense so here there is a court from uh aquinas which would indicate the twofold mod of truth there is a twofold mod of truth in which in what we profess about god some truths about god exceed all the ability of human reason such is this truth that god is trained but there are some truths which the natural reason also is able to reach sachar the truth that god exists that he is one and the like in fact such truths about god have been proved demonstratively by the philosophers guided by the light of natural reason this is from aquinas samar contra gentiles chap one book one chapter three and number two so the twofold theory of truth can be articulated in this way there is revealed theology which is dogmatic which is beyond errors and there is rational theology which is philosophical but it can er and reveal theology is a genuine speculative science it is not based on natural experience and reason science concerned with knowledge of god nobler than any other science on the other hand rational theology can make demonstrations using the articles of faith as its principles can apologetically refute objections raised against the faith even if no articles of faith are presupposed so now we'll move on to the last topic which we are going to discuss in this lecture the proof for the existence of god as i already mentioned the two-fold theory of truth uh tries to argue that there are certain things which reason can understand which can be proved that is the god that god exists god is one and the like saint thomas aquinas has come up with certain proof for the existence of god which are known as the five ways that the celebrated five ways or the five proofs for the existence of god god as the necessary cause of certain observed phenomena like motion existence of efficient causes reality of contingency different grades of perfection in the natural order and directed activity of natural objects each one of them is an observed phenomena and and god is conceived as a cause of them so this is the way in which these arguments for the existence of god are designed now uh proof for god existence so uh augustine outlines as i already mentioned five proofs the first three ways deal with the cosmological argument which is again taken from aristotle the fourth deals with the moral arguments that there is a moral governance we can see in this universe and the fifth proof relies on the teleological arguments which says that there is a design in this universe and which presupposes a designer and when we talk about cosmological argument which is again as i mentioned based on aristotle's conception of prime mover or the unmood mover in aristotle we had seen this that there is motion in this universe and motion presupposes a mover who itself is unmoved so the concept of unmood mover universe demanded the existence of something which moves other things without itself being moved by anything this is what aristotle says in his metaphysics book 12. all moving things presuppose an unchanging unmoving entity and this is the first way from motion motion implies the reduction of something from potentiality to actuality a seed becomes a tree it moves from the form of a seed to the form of a tree so the potentialities are actualized so motion implies the reduction of potentiality to actuality and something that is already in actuality alone can move a thing from potentiality to actuality so it presupposes a form which is already a tree that prompts the seed to move and a thing cannot be both a mover and moved at the same time our objects in this world cannot be self-moving they presuppose a mover whatever is moved is moved by another and that by yet another this cannot go to infinity otherwise it would become infinite rigorous which is not possible there should be a beginning for this moment hence there must be a first mover who itself or himself is not moved which is unmoved unmoved mover which is god now the second way is based on the idea of efficient cause which says that the world has an order of efficient causes everything in this world as a cause a thing cannot be the efficient cause of itself as it cannot be prior to itself so an object cannot be its own efficient cause because then theoretically or logically the object should be present prior to its existence which is impossible so there must be another object which is the cause of this object every efficient cause has a prior cause but this cannot go on infinity there should be a beginning and that is god therefore there must be a first efficient cause who is god so that is the second way the third way is from the reality of contingency which says that certain things are found to come into being and be destroyed and hence they either may or may not exist objects in this world most of the objects in this world they come into existence prior to that they did not exist and they also will perish after some point of time and after that they don't exist so they may or may not access their contingent we are not sure about them either existent or non-existent if all things were mere accidents then nothing would actually exist which is not true i mean just because objects may or may not exist just because they are all contingent all things cannot be so if that is the case then nothing exists we would have to conclude that nothing exists which is not the case hence not all things are mere accidents there must be one necessary existing being every necessary thing must have a cause of its necessary existence but the chain of causes cannot go back infinitely again it comes to that cosmological argument hence there must be something necessarily existing through its own nature not having a cause elsewhere but being itself the cause of the necessary existence of other things and this is god so that is a third way and when we come to the fourth way from degrees of perfection we find degrees of perfection among things there are greater and less degrees of goodness truth and nobility in this universe different things have different degrees they exhibit different degrees of goodness truth and nobility these are in relation to something which is perfect so how do you say that this is greater than that always in relation to something which is the greatest so that relating entity something that is the truest the best the most noble and the greatest being this is god the cause of the existence of all things and of the goodness and of every perfection whatsoever and now we come to the fifth way which is the last way which is an argument from design i quote we see that things which lack knowledge such as natural bodies act for an end and this is evident from their acting always or nearly always in the same way so as to obtain the best result hence it is plain that they achieve their end not fortuiously but designer now whatever lacks knowledge cannot move towards an end unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and intelligence as the arrow is directed by the archer therefore some intelligent being accessed by whom all natural things are directed to other end and this being we call god thomas aquinas summer theologia article 3 question 2. so this is the fifth way from design all natural objects are arranged according to a plan there is something intelligent by which all natural things are arranged in accordance with a plan and that is god so let us summarize god is the first mover he is the first cause he is the necessary being he is the greatest being and he is the intelligent designer this figure will provide you a summary of the five arguments five ways five proof for the existence of god provided by saint thomas aquinas we'll now conclude our discussion on this medieval philosophy so we have taken up two important thinkers saint thomas saint augustine and saint thomas aquinas and their contributions some of the important issues which we have discussed are the problem of god the problem of faith the problem of reason and faith the link the relationship between reason and faith the question whether there is a real contradiction real conflict between these two and the scholastic thinkers were trying to show that there is no real contradiction or a real conflict between these two approaches faith and reason they rather complement each other but at the same time they were trying to highlight underline the importance of faith over reason and then they in which these thinkers were influenced by the greek philosophers uh particularly by plato and aristotle plato's influence is more visible in the case of saint augustine while saint thomas aquinas was an aristotelian with saint thomas aquinas he says that uh or rather he develops a twofold theory of truth which ultimately argues that truth or god can be attained god can be approached from two directions or religious truth can be understood from two directions through faith and through reason and both ultimately reach the same destination he says that faith is something which is more important than reason but reason as such has got certain limitations but it can do certain things see for example it can actually prove the existence of god it can demonstrate that there is only one god who is a creator god all those things but saint thomas aquinas is more known for his providing a proof for god's existence which is primarily based on aristotelian insights the cosmological argument number one then argument from design and moral governance so we have seen the five ways and which would in a sense

the crises the crisis arises because no standard exists whereby the real demand for a commodity may at any time be measured and ascertained there is no power in bushwa society that is enabled to regulate the entire production in the first place the consumers of a commodity are scattered over a wide area and the purchasing ability of the consumers who determine the consumption is influenced by a number of causes that no individual producer is able to control moreover every individual producer must compete with a number of other producers whose productive abilities are unknown to him each one seeks to defeat his competitors by every means at his command by a reduction in prices by advertising by giving credit for prolonged periods by sending out drummers and even by cunningly and insidious insidiously disparaging the products of his competitors the latter means being especially frequently resorted to during critical times the entire realm of production accordingly depends upon the subjective discretion of the individual every manufacturer must dispose of a certain quantity of goods in order to subsist but he seeks to sell a far larger quantity for this increased sale determines not only his larger income but also the probability of his triumphing over his competitors for a while sales are ensured they even increase this leads to more extensive enterprises into increased production but good times and favorable conditions tempt not only one but all manufacturers to multiply their efforts production by far exceeds the demand suddenly it becomes manifest that the market is over stocked with goods the sales slacken the price prices fall production is limited to limit production in any branch means to decrease the number of workers employed in this branch and a reduction in wages whereby the workers in turn are compelled to limit their consumption the inevitable result is that production and consumption in other branches slack and likewise small dealers of all kinds shopkeepers Baker's butchers etc whose chief customers are working men failed to dispose of their goods and also suffer want the effects of such a crisis may be seen from the statistics of the unemployed that were compiled by the trade unions of Berlin at the close of January 1902 in Berlin and suburban towns there were over 70,000 persons who were entirely unemployed in over 60,000 who were partly unemployed on February 13th 1909 the trade unions of brilliant oook another census of the unemployed and found that there were one hundred six thousand seven hundred and twenty-two unemployed persons ninety-two thousand six hundred fifty five men and fourteen thousand sixty seven women in England there were seven hundred fifty thousand unemployed persons during September 1905 these figures represent working men and women who were willing and eager to work but unable to find work the deplorable social conditions of these human beings may be easily imagined since one industry furnishes the raw material to another and one depends upon the other the ills that befall one must affect the others the circle of those affected widens many obligations that had been entered upon in the hope of prolonged favourable conditions cannot be met and heighten the crisis that grows worse from month-to-month heap of accumulated goods tools and machines becomes almost worthless the goods are frequently sold under price and this often leads to the ruin of the owners of such goods as well as to the ruin of dozens of others who in turn are compelled to sell their goods under price also but even during the crisis the methods of production are constantly improved in order to meet the increased competition and this means again forms a cause for new crises after a crisis has lasted for years an overproduction has gradually been removed by selling the products under price by limiting production and by the ruin of smaller manufacturers society slowly begins to recuperate the demand increases again and promptly the production increases also slowly and carefully at first but more rapidly with the prolonged duration of favourable conditions people seek to reimburse themselves for what they have lost and seek to secure their portions before a new crisis sets in but as all manufacturers are guided by the same impulse as they all seek to improve the means of production in order to excel the others a new catastrophe is ushered in more rapidly and with still more disastrous results countless lives rise and fall like bubbles and this constant reciprocal action causes the awful conditions that we experience during every crisis the crises become more frequent as production and competition increase not only among individuals but among entire nations the small batter for bottle for customers and the great battle for markets becomes increasingly severe and is bound to end with enormous losses meanwhile goods and supplies are stored away in masses but countless human beings who wish to consume but are unable to buy stiffer hunger and/or suffer hunger and privation the years 1901 in 1907 208 have proven the correctness of this representation after years of business depression during which capitalistic development nevertheless continued to progress uninterruptedly the upward course set in stimulated to no slight extent by the changes and new equipments that the army and navy required during this period a tremendous number of new industrial enterprises sprang up and a great many others were increased and expanded to attain the development made possible by their technical means and to heighten their productivity but in the same way the number of enterprises increased that were transferred from the hands of individual capitalists to capitalistic associations stock companies a transformation that is always accompanied by an enlargement of the manufactory many thousands of millions of marks represent the newly formed stock companies moreover the capitalists of all countries seek to form national and international agreements trusts spring up like mushrooms from the ground these endeavor to determine the prices and to regulate production on the basis of exact statistical research to avoid overproduction and reduction in prices entire branches of industry have been monopolized in this way to the advantage of the manufacturers and to the disadvantage of the workers and the consumers many believe that their buy capital had obtained the means that would enable it to dominate the market in all directions but appearances are deceiving the laws of capitalistic production proved stronger than the most cunning representatives of the system who believed to have regulated it the crisis came nevertheless and it was seen again that the wisest calculation proved faulty and that bushwa society cannot escape its fate but capitalism continues in the same manner since it cannot change its sub-2 substance by the way in which it is bound to act it it sets all laws of bourgeois economics unrestricted competition the Alpha and Omega of bourgeois society is supposed to place those most capable at the helm of all enterprises but experience shows that as a rule it places these at the helm who are most shrewd and cunning and least troubled by a Quincy a conscience moreover stock companies set aside all individuality the trust goes further still here not only does the individual manufacturers cease to be an independent person the stock company too becomes a mere link in a chain that is controlled by a board of capitalists whose main purpose is to plunder the pub the public a handful of monopolists become the masters of society these dictate the prices to be paid by the consumers for commodities and to the workers their wages and standard of living this development shows how superfluous private enterprise has become and that production conducted on a national and international scale is the goal toward which society is bent the only difference will ultimately be that organized production and distribution will benefit the entire community instead of benefiting the capitalist class only as is the cause today the economic revolution above described which is rapidly driving bourgeois society to the heights of its development is constantly intensified by new important events while Europe is being more threatened each year both in its foreign and domestic markets by the rapidly growing North American competition new enemies are arising in the Far East who make the economic conditions of the entire world still more critical competition drives the capitalists around the globe as the Communist Manifesto expresses it he is constantly seeking new markets that is countries and nations where he can dispose of his goods and create new demands one side of this endeavour may be seen from the fact that since a few decades the various states are eagerly engaged in colonization Germany was foremost among these and succeeded in taking possession of large tracts of land but these possessions are chiefly occupied by people of a very primitive degree of civilization who have no demand worth speaking of for European products the other side of this endeavor is directed toward carrying capitalistic civilisation to nations who have already attained a higher degree of civilization but who until recently were regular rigorously opposed to modern develop and such are the East Indians the Japanese and especially the Chinese these are nations that comprise more than one-third of the entire hold on populate population of the earth when once given an impetus they are well able as the Japanese have already demonstrated during a war with Russia to develop the capitalistic method of production quite independently and to do so moreover under conditions that will be accompanied by disastrous results to the more advanced nations the ability and skill of these nations is well known but it is equally well known that their wants are few due to a great extent to the warm climate and that when compelled to do so they rapidly adapt themselves to changed conditions here the old world including the United States is being confronted by a new competitor who will demonstrate to the whole world that the capitalistic system is untenable in the meanwhile the competing nations especially the United States England and Germany seek to outdo one another and all means are resorted to in order to obtain the largest possible share in the control of the world's market this leads to international politics to interference in all international events of importance and in order to interfere successfully the navies especially are developed and increased as never before we're by the danger of great political catastrophes is heightened and new thus the political realm grows with the realm of economic competition the contradictions grow on an international scale and in all countries that have undergone and capitalistic development they bring forth similar phenomena and similar struggles not only the method of production but also the manner of distribution is responsible for these unbearable conditions to immediate trade and the increased cost of living in human society all individuals are linked to one another by a thousand threads that become more complicated in interwoven with increasing civilization when disturbances occur they are felt by all members disturbances and production affect distribution and consumption and vice versa a marked characteristic of capitalistic production is the concentration of the means of production in increasingly large factories in distribution the opposite trait becomes manifest whoever has been driven by competition out of the ranks of independent producers in nine cases out of ten seeks to win a place as dealer between producer and consumer to obtain a living this accounts for the surprising increase of persons engaged in intermediate trade dealers small shopkeepers hucksters agents jobbers etc as has been statistically proven in a previous chapter most of these persons among whom we find many women independently engaged in business lead a precarious existence many in order to subsist must cater to the basest fashions of their fellow men this accounts for the tremendous prevalence of advertising especially in regard to everything in connection with the gratification of the love of luxury now it cannot be denied that in modern society the desire for the enjoyment of life is very noticeable and viewed from a higher standard this fact is gratifying people begin to understand that in order to be humanly must lead lives worthy of human beings and they seek to gratify this desire and the manner in which they conceive the enjoyment of life in the display of wealth Society has become much more aristocratic than in any former period the contrast between the richest and the poorest is greater than ever on the other hand the society has become more democratic in its ideas and laws the masses demand greater equality and since in their ignorance they do not yet recognize the means to achieve true equality they seek it in trying to eat those in superior social sessions and to obtain every enjoyment within their reach various stimulants served to gratify this desire and the results are frequently detrimental a desire that is SATA it that is justified in itself leads to devious paths in many cases it even leads to crimes and society punishes the perpetrators without changing matters in the least the growing number of persons engaged in intermediate trade has led to many evils though the persons thus engaged work hard and are frequently burdened with care most of them form a class of parasites who are unproductive and live on the products of the labor of others as well as the employing class an increased cost of living is the inevitable result of intermediate trade the price of provisions is thereby raised to such extent that these sometimes cost twice as 3 times as much as is obtained by the producer but if provisions cannot be raised in price any more because a further raise would limit the consumption they are diminished in quantity and quality adulteration of food and the use of incorrect weights and measures is resorted to the chemist ship chapelier reports that among various articles of food he found the following number of methods of adulteration coffee 32 wine 30 chocolate 28 flour 24 whiskey 23 bread 20 milk 19 butter 10 olive oil 9 sugar 6 etc a great deal of fraud is practiced in the grocery stores with goods that have been previously measured or weighed and packed frequently only 12 or 14 ounces are sold for a pound and in this way the lower price is made up for working men and other persons of small means suffer most from these fraudulent methods because they are obliged to buy on credit and must therefore hold their peace even where the fraud is perfectly evident in the bakery trade also incorrect in the bakery trade also incorrect methods what the in the bakery trade also incorrect weight is frequently resorted to swindle and fraud are inevitably linked with our social conditions in certain institutions of the state for instance high indirect taxes and duties fever's swindle and fraud the law is enacted against the adultery of food accomplished but little the struggle for existence the struggle for existence compels the swindlers to resort to more cunning methods and a thoroughgoing in severe control rarely exists serious control is also made impossible because it is claimed that in order to detect if every adultery an expensive and extensive organization would be required and that legitimate business would also be damaged thereby but wherever the control does interfere successfully a considerable increase in prices ensues because the low prices were possible only by means of adulteration in order to diminish these evils from which the masses always and everywhere suffer most cooperative stores have been established in Germany especially army and navy stores and civil service stores have been developed to such an extent that many commercial enterprises were ruined by them but the working man's cooperative stores have also developed tremendously during the last decade and have partly even undertaken the manufacture of certain commodities the cooperative stores in Hamburg Leipzig Dresden Stuttgart Breslau Vienna etc have become model established establishments and the annual sales of the German cooperative stores amount to hundreds of millions of marks since a few years the German cooperative stores have central establishments in Hamburg where the goods are purchased wholesale on the largest scale this enables the various branch stores to obtain these Goods at the lowest possible price these cooperative stores prove that the scattering methods of intermediate trade are superfluous that is their greatest advantage besides the other advantage that they furnish reliable good the material advantages to their members are not very great nor do they suffice to bring about any market improvement in their social status but the establishment of these cooperatives stores proves the existence of a widespread recognition that intermediate trade is superfluous society will ultimately achieve an organization that will do away with commerce since the products will be turned over to the consumers without the aid of under other intermediate agents that are required by transportation from one place to another and by distribution when the common purchase of food has been achieved the common preparation of food on a large scale appears to be the next logical step this again would lead to a tremendous saving in labor powers space material and many other expenses you	Adrestia's Revolt	UC3ClSqbN5tlXOuFj3eqyAoA	2019-09-23	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

this librivox recording is in the public domain historical tales volume 6 french by charles morris chapter 15 the good night good nights were abundant in the romance of the age of chivalry they seem to have been greatly lacking in its history of nights without fear there were many of nights without fear and without reproach we are especially told of but one pierre duterte chevalier de bayell chevalier many are the stories of the courage the justice the honor the mercy and the intrepidity and war the humanity and kindliness of spirit and peace which make this admirable character an anomaly in that age of courteous appearance and brutal reality called the age of chivalry one such story we have to tell the town of bresia had been taken by the french army under gaston de fua and given up to pillage by his troops with all the horrors which this meant in that day of license and inhumanity took part in the assault on the town and was wounded therein so severely that he said to his fellow captain the lord of molar comrade march your men forward the town is ours as for me i cannot pull on father for i am a dead man. not quite dead as it proved he had many years of noble deeds before him still when the town was taken two of his archers bore him to a house whose size and show of importance attracted them as a fair harbor for their lord it was the residence of a rich citizen who had fled for safety to a monastery leaving his wife to god's care in the house and two fair daughters to such security as they could gain from the hay in a granary under which they were hidden at the loud summons of the archers the lady tremblingly opened the door and was surprised and relieved when she saw that it was a wounded knight who craved admittance sadly hurt as bayad was his instinct of kindness remained active he bad the archers to close the door and remain there on guard take heed for your lives he said that none enter here unless they be some of my own people i am sure that when this is known to be my quarters none will try to force a way in if by your aiding me you miss a chance of gain in the sack of the town but not that trouble you you shall lose nothing by your service the archers obeyed and the wounded knight was born to a rich chamber the lady herself showing the way when he had been laid in bed she threw herself on her knees before him and pleadingly said noble sir i present you this house and all that is therein all of which in truth i well know to be yours by right of war but i earnestly pray that it be your pleasure to spare me and my two young daughters our lives and honor madam entered the night with grave courtesy i know not if i can escape from my wound but so long as i live trust me that no harm shall come to you and your daughters any more than to myself only keep them in their chambers let them not be seen and i assure you that no man in the house will take upon himself to enter any place against your will these words the lady heard with joy and on bayard's request that he should have a good surgeon without delay she and one of the archers set out in quest of the best that could be found fortunately it proved that the night's wound though deep was not mortal at the second dressing master claude the surgeon of gaston de foie took him in hand and afterwards attended him assiduously until his wound was healed a process which took about a month after the first dressing of the wound bayard asked his hostess in kindly tones where her husband was i know not my lord if he be dead or alive she answered bursting into tears if he be living i am sure he has taken refuge in a monastery where he is well known let him return home answered bayan i shall send those after him who will see that he has no harm the lady elate with hope sent to inquire and found that her husband was really where she had supposed bayard steward and the two archers were sent for him and conducted him safely through the turmoil of the streets where wars ravage in its worst form was still afoot on his arrival the knight received him with a courteous welcome and bad him not to be alarmed as only friends were quartered upon him and he should suffer no loss in person or estate for a month the wounded knight lay on his couch where though he was made as comfortable as possible by the assiduous ministrations of his grateful host and hostess he suffered much from his hurt at the end of that time he was able to rise and walk across the chamber though still very weak but news came that a great battle between the french and the spaniards was likely soon to be fought and the brave by heart burned with warlike desire to take part in the conflict my dear friend he said to the surgeon tell me if there is any danger in setting me on the march it seems to me that i am well or nearly so and in my judgment to stay here longer will do me more harm than good for i fret sorely to be thus tied your wound is not yet closed said the surgeon though it is quite healed inside after another dressing you may be able to ride provided that your barber attends to dressing it with ointment and a little lint every day the worst of the wound is now on the surface and as it will not touch your saddle you will run no risk in riding bayard heard these words with gladness and at once gave orders to his people to prepare for the road as he would set out for the army in two days meanwhile his host and hostess and their children were far from well at ease until now their guests had protected and spared them but they knew too well the habits of soldiers to imagine that he intended to do this without being abundantly paid for the service they held themselves as his prisoners and feared that he might yet force them to ransom themselves with the utmost some their estate would afford perhaps ten or twelve thousand crowns yet he had been so gentle and kindly that the good lady entertained hopes that he might prove generous if softened by a suitable present therefore on the morning of the day which he had fixed for his departure she appeared in his chamber followed by a servant who carried a small steel box bayard had been walking up and down the room to try his leg and had now thrown himself into a chair to rest the lady fell upon her knees before him but before he would permit her to speak he insisted that she should rise and be seated my lord she began i can never be thankful enough for the grace which god did me at the taking of this town in directing you to this our house we owe to you our lives and all that we hold dear moreover from the time that you arrived here neither i nor the least of my people have endured a single insult but all has been good goodwill and courtesy nor have your folks taken a farthing's worth of our goods without paying for them i am aware that my husband myself my children and all my household are your prisoners to be dealt with according to your good pleasure in person and goods but knowing the nobleness of your heart i am come to entreat you humbly to have pity on us and extend to us your wanted generosity here is a little present we make you and we pray that you may be pleased to take it in good part she opened the box which the servant held and bayad saw that it was filled with golden coins the free-hearted knight who had never in his life troubled himself about money burst out laughing and said madam how many duckets are there in this box his actions so different from what she expected frightened the poor woman thinking it to indicate that the sun was below his expectations she said hurriedly my lord there are about 2 500 ducats but if you are not content we will find a larger sum by my faith madam he warmly replied though you should give a hundred thousand crowns you would not do as well towards me as you have done by the good cheer i have had here and the kind attendance you have given me in whatsoever place i may happen to be you will have so long as god shall grant me life a gentleman at your bidding as for the duckets i will have none of them and yet i thank you take them back all my life i have always loved people much more than crowns and take my word for it that i go away as well pleased with you as if this town were at your disposal and you had given it to me the good lady listened to him with a deep astonishment never had she dreamed of such a marvel as this a soldier who did not crave money she was really distressed by his decision my lord she said i shall feel myself the most wretched creature in the world if you will not take this small present which is nothing in comparison with your past courtesy and present kindness seeing how firm she was in her purpose he said with a gentle smile well then i will take it for love of you but go and fetch me your two daughters for i would fain bid them farewell much pleased with his acceptance the lady left the room in search of her daughters whom the night knew well for they had solaced many of the weary hours of his illness with pleasant chat and music from their voices and from the loot and spin it on which they played agreeably while awaiting them he bad the servant to empty the box and count the duckets into three lots two of a thousand each and one of five hundred when the young ladies entered they would have fallen on their knees as their mother had done before them but bayard would not consent that they should remain in this humble attitude my lord said the elder these two poor girls who owed so much to your kindness are come to take leave of you and humbly to thank your lordship for your goodness for which they can make no return other than to pray that god may hold you in his good care dear damsels answered by odd much affected you have done what i ought to do that is to thank you for your good company for which i am much beholden you know that fighting men are not likely to be laden with pretty things to present to ladies i am sorry not to be better provided but here are some ducats brought me by your lady mother of these i give to each of you a thousand towards your marriage and for my recompense you shall if it please you pray god for me as you have offered he swept the ducats from the table into their aprons forcing them to accept them whether they would or not then turning to his hostess he said madam i will take these 500 ducats that remain for my own prophet to distribute among the poor sisterhoods of this town which have been plundered and to you i commit the charge of them since you better than any other will understand where they are most needed and with this mission i take my leave of you and he bad the mature by touching their hands after the italian fashion and they fell upon their knees weeping so bitterly that it seemed as if they were to be led out to their deaths the dinner hour came and passed when it was over the night quickly left the table and called for his horses being eager to be gone for fear the two armies might come to battle in his absence as he left his chamber to seek his horse the two fair daughters of the house came down to bid him a final farewell and to make him presence which they had worked for him during his illness one gave him a pair of pretty and delicate bracelets made of gold and silver thread worked with marvelous neatness the other presented him a handsome purse of crimson satin very cleverly ornamented with the needle the knight received these graceful gifts with warm thanks saying that presents which came from hands so fair were more to him than a hundred fold their value in gold to do them the more honor he put the bracelets on his wrists and the purse in his sleeve and assured them that as long as they lasted he would wear them for love of the givers then mounting the good knight rode away leaving more tears of joy and heartfelt gratitude behind him than can be said a few soldiers since the world began it was not for fame he had wrought or of fame he had thought but he won high fame by his generous behavior for his treatment of his breshian hosts is still quoted as the rarest deed in his chaplet of good actions the two archers who had stayed with bayad failed not to receive the promised reward gaston de fua the duke of nemour sent the knight a number of presents among them 500 crowns and these he divided between the archers whom he had debarred from their share of the spoil it will suffice to say in conclusion that he reached the army in time to take part in the battle that followed and to add therein to his fame as a good night without fear end of chapter 15. chapter 16 of historical tales volume 6 french this librivox recording is in the public domain historical tales volume 6 french by charles morris chapter 16 episodes in the life of a traitor at the early hour of one o'clock in the morning of september 8th 1523 a train of men at arms and servants headed by a tall stern-faced soldierly looking man rode from the gates of the strong castle of chantel and headed southward in the direction of spain the leader was dressed in armor and carried sword by side and battle axe at saddle bow of his followers some 15 of them were retired in a peculiar manner wearing thick jackets of woolen cloth that seemed as stiff as iron mail and jingled metallically as they rode male they were capable of turning arrow or spear thrust but male of gold not of iron for in those jackets were sewed up thirty thousand crowns of gold and their wearers served as the ambulatory treasure of the proud soldier at their head this man was no less a personage than charles duke of bourbon constable of france the highest personage in the kingdom next to the monarch himself but now in flight from that monarch and from the soldiers who were marching to environ chantel and carry him as a prisoner to the king there had been bad blood between bourbon and francis the first pride and haughtiness on the one side injustice and indecision on the other wrong to the subject defiance to the king and now the short-tempered noble and the great soldier had made a moonlight flitting bent on cutting loose from his allegiance to france and on lending the aid of his sword and military skill to her hereditary foes for a month bobon and his followers wandered around the provinces of southern france incessantly he changed his road his costume his companions his resting place occasionally falling in with soldiers of the king who were on their way to take part in the wars in italy seeking in vain for adherence to his cause and feeling his way by correspondence to an understanding with the enemies of france in early october he entered the domains of the emperor charles v and definitely cut loose from his allegiance to the king the news of this defection filled francis with alarm he had by his injustice driven his greatest soldier from the realm and now sought to undo the perilous work he had done he put off his journey to join the army marching to italy and sent a messenger to the redoubtable fugitive offering restitution of his property satisfaction in full of his claims and security for good treatment and punctual payment kirtley refused it is too late he said then said the envoy i am bidden by the king to ask you to deliver up the sword of constable and the caller of the order of saint michael you may tell the king answered borbon that he took from me the sword of constable on the day that he took from me the command of the advanced guard to give it to monsieur dallason as for the collar of his order you will find it at chantal under the pillow of my bed francis made further efforts to win back the powerful noble whom he had so deeply offended but equally in vain had definitely cut loose from his native land and was bent on joining hands with its mortal foes francis had offended him too deeply to be so readily forgiven as he hoped it is not the story of the life of this notable traitor that we proposed to tell but simply to depict some picturesque scenes in his career charles v gladly welcomed him and made him his lieutenant general in italy so that he became leader against the french in their invasion of that land we next find him during the siege of milan by the army of francis the first one of whose leaders was chevalier bayar the good knight who was the subject of our last story the siege was destined to prove a fatal affair for this noble warrior the french found themselves so hard-pressed by the imperial army under the constable de bourbon that they fell back to await reinforcements near romagnano on the banks of the stasia they were thrown into disorder while seeking to pass the stream and bonave their leader was severely wounded the count of sao paul and chevalier bayao took command bayang always first in advance and last in retreat charged the enemy at the head of a body of men at arms it proved for him a fatal charge a shot from an aquebus gave him a mortal wound jesus my god he cried i am dead he took his sword by the handle kissed its crosshild as an act of devotion and repeated the misery have pity on me o god according to thy great mercy in a moment more he grew deathly pale and grasped the pommel of the saddle to keep him from falling remaining thus until one of his followers helped him to dismount and placed him at the foot of a tree the french were repulsed leaving the wounded night within the lines of the enemy word of bayard's plight was quickly wrought to bourbon who came up with a face filled with sympathetic feeling by ah my good friend i am so distressed at your mishap he said there is nothing for it but patience give not way to melancholy i will send in quest of the best surgeons in this country and by god's help you will soon be healed looked up at him with dying eyes full of pity and reproach my lord i thank you he said but pity is not for me who die like a true man serving my king pity is for you who bear arms against your prince your country and your oath borbon made no answer he turned and withdrew doubtless stung to the soul by the reproachful words of the noblest and honest man of that age his own conscience must have added a double sting to bayard's words such is the bitterest reward of treason it dares not look integrity in the face baed lived for two or three hours afterwards surrounded by his friends who would not leave him though he bad them do so to escape falling into the enemy's hands they had nothing to fear both armies mourned the loss of the good night with equal grief five days after his death on may 5th 1524 bocha wrote to charles v sir albeit cerbail was your enemy's servant yet was it pity of his death for he was a gentle knight well beloved of everyone and one that lived as good a life as ever any man of his condition and in truth he fully showed it by his end for it was the most beautiful that i ever heard tell of so passed away a man who lived fully up to the principles of chivalry and whose honesty modesty sympathy and valor had given him undying fame his name survives as an example of what chivalry might have been had man been as christian in nature as in name but of what it rarely was except in theory the next picture we shall draw belongs to the date of february 24th 1525. francis the first had four months been besieging pavia came to its relief a battle followed which at first seemed to favor the french but which borbon's skill soon turned in favor of the imperialists seeing his ranks breaking on all sides francis inspired by fury and despair desperately charged the enemy with such knights and men at arms as he could get to follow him the conflict was fierce and fatal around the king fell his ablest warriors martial defoi francis of loren busi dambois and many others at site of this terrible slaughter admiral bonave under the king the leader of the french host exclaimed in accents of despair i can never survive this fearful havoc raising the visor of his helmet he rushed desperately forward where a tempest of balls was sweeping the field and in a moment fell beside his slain comrades francis fought on amid the heaps of dead and dying his soul filled with the battle rage his heart burning with fury and desperation he was wounded in face arms and legs yet still his heavy sword swept right and left still men fell before his vigorous blows his horse mortally wounded sank under him dragging him down in an instant he was up again laying about him shrewdly two spaniards who pressed him closely fell before the sweep of that great blade alone among his foes he fought on a crowd of hostile soldiers around him who he was they knew not but his size strength and courage the golden lilies which studied his coat of mail the plume of costly feathers which waved from his helmet told them that this must be one of the greatest men in the french array despite the strength and intrepid valor of the king his danger was increasing minute by minute when the lord of pompe one of bubon's intimate friends pressed up through the mass and recognized the warrior who stood like a wounded lion at bay amid a pack of wolves back back he cried springing forward and beating off the soldiers with his sword leave this man to me pressing to the king's side he still beat back his foes saying to him yield my leads you stand alone if you fight longer i cannot answer for your life look there is no hope for you the duke of bourbon is not far off let me send for him to receive your sword the visor of the king hid the look with which he must have received these words but from the helmet's iron depths came in hollow tones the reply of francis of france to this appeal no he cried sternly rather would i die the death than pledge my faith to borbon the traitor where is the viceroy of naples la noire the viceroy was in a distant part of the field some time was lost in finding and bringing him to the spot at length he arrived and fell upon one knee before francis who presented him his sword lanois took it with a show of the profoundest respect and immediately gave him another in its place the battle was over and the king of france was a prisoner in the hands of his rebellious subject the duke of bourbon the wheel of fate had strangely turned the captive king had shown himself a poor general but a heroic soldier his victors viewed him with admiration for his prowess when he sat at table after having his wounds which were slight dressed approached him respectfully and handed him a dinner napkin francis took it but with the most distant and curt politeness the next day an interview took place between bubble and the king and in reference to the position of the latter as captive in this francis displayed the same fragility of manner as before while he was all cordiality with pescara bourbon's fellow in command the two leaders claimed francis as their own captive but lanois to whom he had surrendered had him embarked for naples and instead of taking him there send him directly to spain where he was delivered up to charles v thus ended this episode in the life of the constable de buble we have still another and the closing seen to present in the life of this great soldier and traitor it is of no less interest than those that had gone before historically it is a far deeper interest for it was attended with the destruction of inestimable material that has rarely been excelled the world is the poorer that borbon lived in spain he had been treated with consideration by the emperor but with disdain by many of the lords who despised him as a traitor charles v asked the marquis de villena to give quarters in his palace to the duke i can refuse the emperor nothing he replied but as soon as the traitor is out of my house i shall set it on fire with my own hand no man of honor could live in it again despite this feeling the military record of bourbon could not be set aside he was the greatest general of his time and recognizing this charles again placed him in command of his armies in italy on going there bourbon found that there was nothing that could be called an army everything was in disorder and the imperial cause almost at an end in this state of affairs borbon became filled with hopes of great conquests and high fame for himself filled with the spirit of adventure and finding the spanish army devoted to him he added to it some fifteen thousand of german landscapes most of them lutherans addressing this greedy horde of soldiers of fortune he told them that he was now but a poor gentleman like themselves and promised that if they would follow him he would make them rich or die in the attempt finishing his remarks which were greeted with enthusiastic cheers he distributed among them all his money and jewels keeping little more than his clothes and armor for himself we will follow you everywhere to the devil himself shouted the wild horde of adventurers no more of julius caesar hannibal and scipio hurrah for the fame of bubon putting himself at the head of this tumultuous array the duke led them southward through italy halting before bologna florence and other towns with a half-formed purpose to besiege them but in the end pushing on without an assault until on the 5th of may 1527 his horde of land pirates came inside of rome itself the imperial city after being sacked by the goths vandals and other barbarians had remained without serious damage for a thousand years but now another army was encamped under its walls and one equally bent on havoc and ruined with those of the past now is the time to show courage manliness and the strength of your body said bobon to his followers if in this bout you are victorious you will be rich lords and well off for the rest of your lives yonder is the city whereof in times past a wise astrologer prophesied concerning me telling me that i should die there but i swear to you that i care little for dying there if when i die my corpse be left with endless glory and renown throughout the world he then bad them to retire for the night ordering them to be ready to be times in the morning for the assault which would take place at an early hour on that day hardly indeed had the stars faded before the sunrise of may 6th when the soldiers were afoot and making ready for the assault bourbon placed himself at their head clad all in white that he might be better seen and known to the walls they advanced bearing scaling ladders which they hastened to place on the first rays of these bourbon set foot with the soldier's desire to be the earliest in the assault but hardly had he taken two steps up the ladder then his grasp loosened and he fell backward with blood gushing from his side he had been hit with an aqua boost shot in the left side and mortally wounded he had but voice enough left to bid those near him to cover his body with a cloak and take it away that his followers might not know of his death those were the last words recorded of the duke of bourbon he died as he had lived a valiant soldier and a born adventurer hurling havoc with his last words on the great city of the church for his followers not knowing of his death attacked so furiously that the walls were soon carried and the town theirs then as news came to them that their leader had fallen they burst into the fury of slaughter shouting slay slay blood blood and cutting down remorselessly all whom they met the celebrated artist benvenuto cellini tells us in his autobiography that it was he who shot bobo aiming his occupace from the wall of the campos santo at one of the procedures who was mounted higher than the rest and who as he afterwards learned was the leader of the assailing army whoever it was that fired the fatal shot the slain man was frightfully avenged rome being plundered ravaged and devastated by his brutal followers to a degree not surpassed by the work of the vandals of old for several months the famous city remained in the hands of this licentious soldiery and its inhabitants were subjected to every outrage and barbarity which brutal desire and ungoverned license could incite while in none of its former periods of ravage were so many of the precious relics of antiquity destroyed as in this period of occupation by men who called themselves the soldiers of civilized and christian lands end of chapter 16. chapter 17 of historical tales volume 6 french by charles morris this librivox recording is in the public domain historical tales volume 6 french by charles morris chapter 17 saint bartholomew's day kill kill kill was the cry in paris blood blood death to the huguenots came from the lips of thousands of maddened murderers blood flowed everywhere men dabbled in blood almost bathed in blood a crimson tide flowed in the streets of paris deep enough to dam the infamous catherine de medici and her confederates to the crime of assassination on that direful day of saint bartholomew must be added that of treachery of the darkest hue peace had been made between the warring parties the protestant chiefs had been invited to paris to witness the marriage of the young king henry of navarre with marguerite de valois sister of the king of france which was fixed for the 18th of august 1572. they had been received with every show of amity and goodwill the great huguenot leader admiral de colinyi had come confiding in the honor of his late foes and had been received by the king charles ix with demonstrations of sincere friendship though the weak monarch warned him to beware of the geezes his bitter enemies and the remorseless haters of all opponents of the catholic party on the 22nd of august the work of treachery began on that day a murderous shot was fired at kaligni as he stood by the window of his room engaged in reading a letter it smashed two fingers of his right hand and lodged a ball in his left arm the would-be murderer escaped here is a fine proof of the fidelity to his agreement of the duke of gees said kalini reproachfully to the king my dear father returned the king the hurt is yours the grief and outrage mine but i will take such vengeance that it shall never be forgotten he meant it for the moment but his mind was feeble his will weak himself a mere puppet in the hands of his imperious mother and the implacable geezes between them they had determined to rid themselves of the opposing party in the state on the death of the admiral and the other protestant leaders sure of their power over the king the orders for the massacre were already given when near midnight of august 24th saint bartholomew's day the queen with some of her leading counselors sought the king's room and made a determined assault upon the feeble defenses of his intellect the slaughter of many thousands of men may be prevented by a single sword thrust they argued only kill the admiral the head in front of the civil wars and the strength of his party will die with him the sacrifice of two or three men will satisfy the loyal party who will remain forever your faithful and obedient subjects war is inevitable the geese is on one side and the huguenots on the other cannot be controlled better to win a battle in paris where you hold all the chiefs in our clutches than to put it to hazard in the field in this case pity would be cruelty and cruelty would be pity for an hour and a half the struggle with the weak will of the king continued he was violently agitated but could not bring himself to order the murder of the guest to whom he had promised his royal faith and protection the queen mother grew alarmed delay might ruin all by the discovery of her plans at length with a show of indignation she said then if you will not do this permit me and your brother to retire to some other part of the kingdom this threat to leave him alone to grapple with the difficulties that surrounded him frightened the feeble king he rose hastily from his seat by god's death he cried passionately since you think proper to kill the admiral i consent with these words he left the room the beginning of the work of bloodshed had been fixed for an hour before daybreak but the king had spoken in a moment of passion and agitation an hour's reflection might change his mind there was no time to be lost the queen gave the signal at once and out on the air of that dreadful night rang the terrible toxin peel from the tower of the church of saint germain the alarm call for which the white crossed murderers waited quickly the silence of the night was broken by loud cries shouts of vengeance the of many feet the sharp reports of musketry the work was begun every man not marked by a cross was to be slaughtered the voice of murder broke fearfully upon the peacefulness of the recently quiet midnight hour the noise roused kollini he rose hastily and threw on his dressing gown the cries and shots told him what was going on he had trusted the faithless gizas and the solis de medici and this was what came of it most he said to a clergyman who was with him say me a prayer i commit my soul to my savior some of his gentlemen entered the room what is the meaning of this riot asked ambrose paris my lord it is god calling us said konaton i have long been ready to die said the admiral but you my friends save yourselves if it is still possible they left him and escaped the most of them by the roof only one man stayed with him nicolas moos a german servant as little concerned says konaton as if there was nothing going on around him the flight had been made barely in time hasty footsteps were heard below the assassins were in the house in a moment more the chamber door was flung open and two servants of the duke of gees entered art not thou the admiral asked one of them bim by name young man answered colin ye thou commessed against a wounded and aged man that would not shorten my life by much bam's answer was to plunge a heavy boar spear which he held into the body of the defenseless veteran withdrawing it he struck him on the head with it kalini fell saying if it were about a man but it is a horse boy others rushed into the room and thrust their weapons into the dying man bam cried the duke of gees from the courtyard hast thou done it is all over my lord answered the assassin the murderers flung the body from the window it fell with a crash at the feet of ghees and his companions they turned it over wiped the blood from the face and said faith it is he sure enough some say that ghees kicked the bleeding corpse in the face meanwhile murder was everywhere the savage lower orders of paris all high and low of the party of the gizas were infected with the thirst for blood and the streets of the city became a horrible whirlpool of slaughter all who did not wear the saving cross being shot down without mercy or discrimination the anecdotes of that fatal night and the succeeding day are numerous some of them pathetic most of them ferocious all tending to show how brutal man may become under the inspiration of religious prejudice and the example of slaughter the blood fury as it has been fitly termed telini the son-in-law of kalini took refuge on a roof the guards of the duke of anjou fired at him as at a target with whom the king had been in mary chat until 11 o'clock of the preceding evening was aroused by a loud knocking upon his door he opened it six masked men rushed in and instantly buried their ponyards in his body the new queen of navarre had just gone to bed under peremptory orders from her mother catherine de medici she was awakened from her first slumber by a man knocking and kicking at her door with wild shouts of navarre navarre her nurse ran to open the door thinking that it was the king her lady's husband a wounded and bleeding gentleman rushed in blood flowing from both arms four archers pursuing him into the queen's bed chamber the fugitive flung himself on the queen's couch seizing her in his alarm she leaped out of the bed towards the wall key following her and still clasping her around the body what it meant she knew not but screamed in fright her assailant screaming as loudly their cries had the effect of bringing into the room monsieur de nacier captain of the guards who could not help laughing on seeing the plight of the queen but in an instant more he turned in a rage upon the archers cursing them for their daring and harshly bad and be gone as for the fugitive monsieur de la by name he granted him his life at the queen's prayer she put him to bed in her closet and attended him until he was well of his wounds such are a few of the anecdotes told of that night of terror they might be extended indefinitely but anecdotes of murder are not of the most attractive character and may profitably be passed over the king saved some including his nurse and ambrose parque his surgeon both huguenots two others destined in the future to play the highest parts in the kingdom were saved by his orders these were the two huguenot princes ahri of navar and angri de kundi the king sent for them during the height of the massacre and bad them recant or die i mean for the future he said to have but one religion in my kingdom the mass or death make your choice the king of navarre asked for time to consider the subject reminding charles of his promised protection conde was defiant i will remain firm in what i believe to be the true religion he said though i have to give up my life for it seditious madman rebel and son of a rebel cried the king furiously if within three days you do not change your language i will have you strangled in three days charles himself changed his language remorse succeeded his incense at rage ambrose he said to his surgeon i do not know what has come over me for the last two or three days but i feel my mind and body greatly excited in fact just as if i had a fever it seems to me every moment whether i wake or sleep that these murdered corpses appear to me with hideous and blood-covered faces i wish the helpless and innocent had not been included on the next day he issued orders prohibiting on pain of death any slaying or plundering but he had raised a fury not easily to be allayed the toxin of death still rang to it the great bell of the palace added at intervals its clanging peel shouts yells the sharp reports of pistols and acabuses the shrieks of victims filled the air sixty thousand murderers thronged the streets slaying all who wore not the white cross breaking into and plundering houses and slaughtering all within them all through that dreadful sunday the crimson carnival went on death everywhere wagons loaded with bleeding bodies traversing the streets to cast their gory burdens into the sen a scene of frightful massacre prevailing such as city streets have seldom witnessed the king judged feebly if he deemed that with a word he could quell the storm his voice had raised many of the nobles of the court satisfied with the death of the huguenot leaders attempted to stay the work of death but a report that a party of huguenots had attempted to kill the king added to the popular fury and the sanguinary work went on it is not known how many were slain during that outbreak of slaughter it was not confined to paris but spread through france thousands are said to have been killed in the city in the kingdom the number slain has been variously estimated at from ten to one hundred thousand such was the frightful result of a lamentable event in which religious animosity was taken advantage of to intensify the political enmity of the warring parties of the realm it proved a useless infamy charles ix died two years afterwards after having suffered agonies of remorse despite the massacre the huguenots were not all slain nor had the murder of colin ye robbed them of a leader henry of navarre who would narrowly escape death on that fearful night was in the coming years to lead the protestants to many a victory and in the end to become king of france as henry iv by his coronation collins was revenged the huguenots instead of being exterminated by the hand of massacre had defeated their foes and raised their leader to the throne and the edict of nant which was soon afterwards announced gave liberty of conscience to france for many years thereafter end of chapter 17 chapter 18 of historical tales volume 6 french this librivox recording is in the public domain historical tales volume 6 french by charles morris chapter 18 king henry of navarre for the first time in its history france had a protestant king henry iii had died by the knife of an assassin henry of navarre was named by him as his successor but the catholic chiefs of france in particular the leaders of the league which had been banded against henry iii were bitterly opposed to the reign of a huguenot in a realm that had always been governed by catholic kings and it was evident that only by the sword could the throne be secured the league held paris and much of france henry's army was too weak to face them he fell back on diep that he might be near the coast and in position to receive reinforcements and supplies promised him by queen elizabeth the duke of mayenne pursued him with an army of some 35 000 men such was the situation at the date of the opening of our story henry iii had been killed on the 1st of august 1589. henry iv was proclaimed king on the 2nd of august on the 26th of the same month he reached dieppe where he was met by the governor a mile decist and the leading citizens who brought him the keys of the place i come to salute my lord and hand over to him the government of this city said emma who was a catholic noble vonskos sancri cried henry with his favorite exclamation i know none more worthy of it than you are the citizens crowded round the king profuse in their expressions of loyalty no fuss my lads said henry who was the embodiment of plain common sense all i want is your affection good bread good wine and good hospitable faces within the town he was received with loud cheers and the population seemed enthusiastic in his favor but the shrewd soldier had no idea of shutting himself up in a walled town to be besieged there by mayen so after carefully inspecting his fortifications he left 500 men within the town assisted by a garrison of burgesses and established his camp on a neighboring hill crowned by the old castle of ark where he put all his men and all the peasants that could be found busily to work digging like beavers working night and day to fortify the camp he set the example himself in the use of the spade it is a wonder i am alive with such work as i have he wrote at the time god have pity upon me and show me mercy blessing my labors as he does in spite of many folks i am well and my affairs are going well i have taken the enemy who are double me just now thought to catch me there but i drew off towards diep and i await them in a camp that i am fortifying tomorrow will be the day when i shall see them and i hope with god's help that if they attack me they will find they have made a bad bargain the enemy came as henry had said saw his preparations and by a skillful maneuver sought to render them useless mayan had no fancy for attacking those strong works in front he managed by an unlooked for up movement to push himself between the camp and the town hoping to cut off the king's communication with the sea divide his forces deprive him of his reinforcements from england and finally surround him and capture him as he had promised the leaguers of paris who were already talking of the iron cage in which the bernies would be sent to them but henry iv was not the man to be caught easily in a trap much as had been his labor at digging he had once changed his plans and decided that it would not pay him to await the foe in his entrenchments if they would not come to him he must go to them preserving his communications at any cost chance rather than design brought the two armies into contact a body of light horse approached the king's entrenchments a sharp skirmish followed my son said marshall de birkel to the young count of ovang charge now is the time the young soldier a prince by birth obeyed and so effectively that he put the leaguers to route killed 300 of them and returned to camp unobstructed on the succeeding two days similar encounters took place with like good fortune for henry's army mayan was annoyed his prestige was in danger of being lost he determined to recover it by attacking the entrenchments of the king with his whole army the night of the 20th of september came it was a very dark one henry having reason to expect an attack kept awake the whole night in company with a group of us officers he gazed over the dark valley within which lamayen's army the silence was profound afar off could be seen a long line of light so flickering and inconstant that the observers were puzzled to decide if they were men or glow worms at five in the morning henry gave orders that every man should be at his post he had his breakfast brought to him on the field and aided with a hearty appetite seated in a fuss with his officers around him while there a prisoner was brought in who had been taken during the reconnaissance good morning bella said the king who knew him embraced me for your welcome appearance ben did so taking the situation philosophically to give you appetite for dinner he said you are about to have work to do with thirty thousand foot and ten thousand horse where are your forces he continued looking around curiously you don't see them all monsieur you debena answered henry you don't reckon the good god and the good right but they are ever with me bennett had told the truth about 10 o'clock my end made his attack it was a day ill-suited for battle for their lay upon the field so thick a fog that the advancing lines could not see each other at 10 paces apart despite this the battle proceeded briskly and for nearly three hours the two armies struggled now one now the other in the ascendant henry fought as vigorously as any of his men all being so confusedly mingled in the fog that there was little distinction between officers and soldiers at one time he found himself so entangled in a medley of disorganized troopers that he loudly shouted courage gentlemen pray courage are there not among you 50 gentlemen willing to die with their king the confusion was somewhat alleviated by the arrival at this juncture of 500 men from diep whose opportune coming the king gladly greeted springing from his horse he placed himself beside shation their leader to fight in the trenches the battle which had been hot at this point now grew furious and for some 15 minutes there was a hand-to-hand struggle in the fog like that of two armies fighting in the dead of night then came a welcome change for what followed we may quote sully when things were in this desperate state he says the fog which had been very thick all the morning dropped down suddenly and the cannon of the castle of arc getting sight of the enemy's army a volley of four pieces was fired which made four beautiful lanes in their squadrons and battalions that pulled them up quite short and three or four volleys in succession which produced marvelous effects made them waver and little by little retire all of them behind the turn of the valley out of canon shot and finally to their quarters mian was defeated the king held the field he pursued the enemy for some distance and then returned to ark to return thanks to god for the victory immediately afterwards mayan struck camp and marched away leaving henry master of the situation the king of navarre had scored a master point in the contest for the throne of france during the ensuing year the cause of the king rapidly advanced more and more of france acknowledged him as the illegitimate heir to the throne a year after the affair at dieppe he marched suddenly and rapidly on paris and would have taken it had not maine succeeded in throwing his army into the city when it was half captured in march 1590 the two armies met again on the plane of ifri a village halfway between mont andre and here was fought one of the famous battles of history a conflict whose final result was to make henry iv king of all france on this notable field the king was greatly outnumbered mayan had under his command about four thousand horse and twenty thousand foot while henry's force consisted of three thousand horse and eight thousand foot but the king's men were much better disciplined and much more largely moved by patriotism mian's army being in considerable part made up of german and swiss auxiliaries the king's men catholics and protestants alike were stirred by a strong religious enthusiasm in a grave and earnest speech to his men henry placed the issue of the day in the hands of the almighty the catholics of his army crowded to the neighboring churches to hear mass the huguenots much fewer in number also made their prayers after their sort the day of battle dawned march 14 1590 henry's army was drawn up with the infantry to right and left partly made up of head german and swiss auxiliaries the cavalry under his own command in the center in this arm in those days of tradition between ancient and modern war the strength of armies lay and those five lines of horsemen were that day to decide the fate of the field in the early morning henry displayed a winning instance of that generous good feeling for which he was noted count schoenberg colonel of the german auxiliaries had some days before asked for the pay of his troops saying that they would not fight if not paid henry indignant at this implied threat had harshly replied people do not ask for money on the eve of a battle he now just as the battle was about to begin approached schoenberg with a look of contrition on his face colonel he said i have hurt your feelings this may be the last day of my life i cannot bear to take away the honor of a brave and honest gentleman like you pray forgive me and embrace me sir answered schomburg with deep feeling the other day your majesty wounded me today you kill me he gave up the command of the german writers that he might fight in the king's own squadron and was killed in the battle as the two armies stood face to face waiting for the signal of onset henry rode along the front of his squadron and halted opposite their center fellow soldiers he said you are frenchmen behold the enemy if today you run my risks i also run yours i will conquer or die with you keep your ranks well i pray you if the heat of battle disperse you for a while rally as soon as you can under those pear trees you see up yonder to my right and if you lose sight of your standards do not lose sight of my white plume make that your rallying point for you will always find it in the path of honor and i hope a victory also and henry pointed significantly to the snow white plume that ornamented his helmet while a shot of enthusiastic applause broke from all those who had heard his stirring appeal those words have become famous the white plume of henry of navarre is still one of the rallying points of history it has also a notable place in poetry in macaulay's stirring ode of evie from which we quote and if my standard bearer fall as fall full well he may for never saw i promise yet of such a bloody fray press where ye see my white plume shine amidst the ranks of war and be your ocheflam today the helmet of navarre the words we have quoted spoken henry galloped along with the whole line of his army then halted again threw his bridle over his arm and said with clasped hands and deep feeling oh god thou knowest my thoughts and i'll see to the very bottom of my heart if it be for my people's good that i keep the crown favor thou my cause and uphold my arms but if thy holy will have otherwise ordained at least let me die o god in the midst of these brave soldiers who give their lives for me the infantry began the battle egmol in command of mayan's right wing attacked sharply but after a brief success was killed and his men repulsed on the king's right omo bierong and mo passier drove their opponents before them at this stage of the affray mayen in command of the powerful body of cavalry in the center fell upon the king's horse with a furious charge which for the time threatened to carry all before it the lines wavered and broke knights and nobles fell back confusion began and was increasing the odds appeared too great for a brief and perilous period the battle seemed lost at this critical moment henry came to the rescue victory or death had been his word to his men his promise was now to be kept in deeds pointing with his sword to the enemy and calling in a loud voice upon all who heard him to follow he spurred fiercely forward and in a moment his white plume was seen waving in the thickest ranks of the foe his cry had touched the right places in the hearts of his followers forgetting every thought but that of victory and the rescue of their beloved leader they pushed after him in a gallant and irresistible charge which resembled in its impetuosity that of the black prince at poitiers mayen's thronging horsemen wavered and broke before this impetuous rush into the heart of the opposing army road henry and his arden followers cutting slashing shouting in victorious enthusiasm in a few minutes the forward movement of mayan's cavalry was checked his troops halted wavered broke and fled hotly pursued by their foes the battle was won that rush of the white plume had carried all before it and swept the seried ranks of the leaguers to the wind let us quote the poetic rendition of this scene from macaulay's ode hurrah the foes are moving hark to the mingled din of fife and steed and trump and drum and roaring culverin the fiery duke is pricking fast across saint andre's plane with all the hireling cavalry of geledra and almein now by the lips of those ye love fair gentlemen of france charge for the golden lilies upon them with the lance a thousand spurs are striking deep a thousand spears in rest a thousand knights are pressing close behind a snow white crest and in they burst and on they rushed while like a gliding star amidst the thickest carnage blazed the helmet of navarre the enemy's cavalry being in flight and hotly pursued henry with a handful of horsemen he had but 30 at his back when he came out of the melee charged upon the walloons and swiss who instantly broke and fled with such impetuous haste that they left their standards behind them slay the strangers but spare the french was the king's order as a hot pursuit of the flying infantry began in which the german auxiliaries in particular were cut down mercilessly and then we thought on vengeance and all along our van remember saint bartholomy was passed from man to man but out spake gentle henry no frenchman is my foe down down with every foreigner but let your brethren go the swiss however ancient friends and allies of france begged the king's compassion and were admitted to mercy being drafted into his service the flying germans and french were severely punished great numbers of them falling many more being taken the list of prisoners including a large number of lords and leaders of the foe the battle had been remarkably short it was won by the cavalry the infantry having scarcely come into action as to its effect we may quote again from the poem now glory to the lord of hosts from whom all glories are and glory to our sovereign liege king henry of navarre now let there be the merry sound of music and of dance through thy cornfields green and sunny vines o pleasant land of france hurrah hurrah a single field had turned the chance of war hurrah hurrah foreign and henry of navarre it turned the chance of war and truth in a great measure paris was incarceration everywhere was a great change in public opinion men ceased to look on henry as an adventurous soldier and came to regard him as a great prince fighting for his own beyond this however the effect was not immediate paris remained in the hands of the league a spanish league was formed the difficulty seemed to grow deeper the only easy solution to them was an ab duration of the protestant faith and to this view henry in the end came he professed conversion to catholicism and all opposition ceased henry iv became the fully acknowledged king of france and for the time being all persecution of the huguenots was at an end end of chapter 18 chapter 19 of historical tales volume 6 french by charles morris this librivox recording is in the public domain historical tales volume 6 french by charles morris chapter 19 the murder of a king history is full of stories of presentments of visions of sudden death made notable by their realization of strange disasters predicted in advance doubtless there have been very many presentments that failed to come true enough possibly to make those that have been realized mere coincidences however that be these agreements of prediction and event are to say the least curious the case of caesar is well known we have now to relate that of henry iv sully has told the story henry had married as a second wife mary de medici daughter of the grand duke of tuscany and a woman whose headstrong temper and cantankerous disposition were by no means calculated to make his life with her an agreeable one in the end she strongly insisted on being crowned queen a desire on her part which was very unpleasant to her royal husband who seemed to feel that some disaster impended over the event hey my friend he said to sully his intimate i know not what is the meaning of it but my heart tells me that some misfortune will happen to me he was seated on a low chair his face disturbed by uneasy thought his fingers drumming on his spectacle case of a sudden he sprang up and struck his hand sharply on his thigh by god he said i shall die in this city and shall never go out of it they will kill me i see quite well that they have no other remedy in their dangers but my death ah a cursed coronation that would be the cause of my death what fancy is this of yours asked sully if it continued i am of opinion that you should break off this anointment and coronation if you please to give me orders it shall be done yes break off the coronation said the king let me hear no more about it i shall have my minded rest from diverse fancies which certain warnings have put into it to hide nothing from you i have been told that i was to be killed at the first grand ceremony i should undertake and that i should die in a carriage you never told me that sir answered sully i have often been astounded to hear you cry out when in a carriage as if you dreaded this petty peril after having so many times seen you amidst cannonballs musketry lance thrusts pike thrusts and sword thrusts without being a bit afraid since your mind is so exercised thereby if i were you i would go away tomorrow let the coronation take place without you or put it off to another time and not enter paris for a long time or in a carriage if you please i will send word to notre dame and send a knee to stop everything and to withdraw the workmen i am very much inclined said the king but what will my wife say she has gotten this coronation marvelously under her head she may say what she likes for joined sully but i cannot think that when she knows your opinion about it she will persist any longer he did not know mary demiuchi she did persist strongly and offensively for three days the matter was disputed with high words on both sides in the end henry weary of the contention and finding it impossible to convince or silence his obstinate wife gave way and the laborers were again set to work to prepare for the coronation despite his presentments henry remained in paris and gave orders for the immediate performance of the ceremony as if he were anxious to have done with it and to pass the crisis in his life which he feared the coronation was proclaimed on the 12th of may 1610 it took place on the 13th at santa knee the tragical event which he had dreaded did not take place he breathed easier on the next day the 14th he took it in mind to go to the arsenal to see sully who was ill yet the same indecision and fear seemed to possess him he stirred about in an unquiet and irresolute mood saying several times to the queen my dear shall i go or not he went so far as to leave the room two or three times but each time returned in the same doubt my dear shall i really go he said to the queen and then making up his mind he kissed her several times and bad her at you i shall only go there and back he said i shall be here again almost directly on reaching his carriage monsieur de preslamp the captain of his guard proposed to attend him but he would not permit it saying get you gone i want nobody go about your business yet that morning in a conversation with gize and bason pierre he had spoken as if he dreaded quickly coming death you will live please god long years yet said bason pierre you are only in the flower of your age in perfect bodily health and strength full of honor more than any mortal man in the most flourishing kingdom in the world loved and adored by your subjects with fine houses fine women fine children who are growing up henry sighed as if still oppressed by his presentments and sadly answered my friend all that must be left those were his last words of which any record remains save the few he spoke in the carriage a few hours afterwards all the earthly blessings of which bessel pierre spoke were not to him the king was dead to return to our subject in the carriage with the king were several gentlemen of the court henry occupied the rear seat at the left with monsieur de penal seated at his right a monsieur de monbasum between him and the door while several other gentlemen occupied the remaining seats when the carriage reached the quad terroir the coachman asked whether he should drive and was bidden to go towards saint in a song on the way thither while in the rude la ferroneri a cart obstructed the way so that the carriage had to turn towards the sidewalk and to proceed more slowly here were some iron monger shops beside one of which lurked a man his eyes keenly fixed on the approaching carriage his hand nervously clutching some object in his pocket as the carriage moved slowly by this man sprang from his covert and rushed towards it a knife in hand in an instant he had dealt the king two blows in rapid succession in the left side the first struck him below the armpit and went upward merely grazing the flesh the other proved more dangerous it entered his side between the fifth and sixth ribs and taking a downward direction cut a large blood vessel the king by chance had his left hand on the shoulder of monsieur de montbazon and was leaning towards monsieur de pino to whom he was speaking he thus laid himself more fully open to the assassin's knife all had passed so quickly that no movement of defense was possible henry gave a low cry and made a few movements what is the matter sir asked mom who had not seen the affair it is nothing answered the king it is nothing he repeated his voice now so low that they could barely hear him those were the last words he spoke the assassin had been seized he was a fanatic named francois who had been roused to his mad act by rumors that henry intended to make war upon the pope and other baseless fancies of the king's opponents with him we are not further concerned other than to say he was made to suffer the most barbarous tortures for his deed the carriage was turned and driven back toward the louvre on reaching the entrance steps some wine was given to the wounded monarch an officer of the guard raised his head his only sign of intelligence being some movements of the eyes in a moment more they were closed never to be opened again he was carried upstairs and laid on the couch in his closet and from there taken to the bed in his chamber as he lay there someone gave him holy water and monsieur de vic a counselor of state put to his mouth the cross of his order and directed his thoughts to god all this was lost on the king he lay motionless and insensible all around him were in tears the grief of the queen was unconsolable all paris was weeping the monarch against whom the parisians had so bitterly fought they now mourned as they would have done for their dearest friend the surgeons wanted to dress the king's wounds milong the chief physician who sat weeping at the bedside waved them aside a faint sigh died away on the king's lips it is all over said milo sadly he is gone what followed may be told in a few words the old adage the king is dead long live the king was the thought of practical men of affairs sully whom the news of the assassination had raised in haste from his sick bed put himself quickly at the head of some forty horse and rode towards the palace giz and bason pierre had come to the door to see what was passing outside as he rode up gentlemen he said to them with tearful eyes if the service you vowed to the king be impressed upon your souls as deeply as it ought to be with all good frenchmen swear this moment to keep towards the king's son and heir the same allegiance that you showed him and to spend your lives and your blood in avenging his death sir anto basson pierre it is for us to cause this oath to be taken by others we have no need to be exhorted there too leaving them sully road to the bastille which he took possession of and sent out soldiers to seize and carry off all the bread that could be found in the market and at the shops of the bakers he dispatched a messenger also in the greatest haste to his son-in-law monsieur then in command of a source of six thousand swiss bidding him to march with all speed upon paris henry iv was dead his son was his legitimate successor but the murder of henry iii had been followed by a contest for the throne that of henry iv might be sully felt it necessary to take precautions although the king was hardly cold in death the king dies the kingship survives prudent men on whom the peace of a people depend prepare without delay the duke decele was such a man his precautions however were not needed no one thought of opposing the airship of the king's son

richelieu and the conspirators in a richly furnished state department of the royal palace of the luxembourg on a day in november 1630 stood louis xiii king of france tapping nervously with his fingers on the window pane and with a disturbed and irresolute look upon his face beside him was his favorite san simon a surely dressed and handsome gentleman of the court what do you think of all this ask the king his fingers keeping up their idle drumming on the glass sir i seem to be in another world was the politic reply but at any rate you are master i am said the king proudly and i will make it felt too the royal prisoner was stirring uneasily in the bonds which hard necessity had cast around his will it was against cardinal richarlia that his testy remark was made yet in the very speaking he could not but feel that to lose richelieu was to lose the bulwark of his throne that this imperious master against whose rule he shaved was the glory and the support of his reign just now however the relations between king and cardinal were sadly strained mary de medici the king's mother once richarlia's ardent friend was now his active foe the queen anne of austria was equally hostile their influence had been used to its utmost to poison the mind of the monarch against his minister and seemingly with success to all appearance it looked as if the great cardinal was near his fall rumor of what was afloat had invaded the court everywhere were secret whisperings knowing looks expectant movements mariak the cartiers were flocking to the luxembourg in hopes of some advantage to themselves mariak the keeper of the seals was at his country house at glatini very near versailles where the king was expected he remained there in hopes that louis would send for him and put the power of the disgraced cardinal into his hands the colossus seemed about to fall all waited expectantly the conspiracy of the queen mother had gone farther than to use her personal influence with her son against the cardinal there were others in league with her particularly mariac the keeper of the seals and marshall mariak his brother then in command of a large force in piemol all had been carefully prepared against the fall of the minister the astute conspirators had fully laid their plans as to what was to follow unfortunately for them they did not reckon with the two principal parties concerned louis xiii and cardinal resilier with all his weaknesses of temper in mind the king had intellect enough to know what were the great interests of his kingdom and power and on whose shoulders they rested above all the littleness of a court cabal he could not but discern the great questions which impended and with which he felt quite incompetent to deal and he could perceive but one man in his kingdom able to handle these great problems of state as for reshilia he was by no means blind to what was going on around him he was the last man in the world to be a dupe delaying until the time seemed ripe to move he requested and obtained an interview with the king they were a long time closeted while all the cartier world of paris waited in expectation and suspense what passed in that private cabinet of the palace no one knew but when the interview was over it quickly became evident that the queen mother and her associates had lost the cardinal had won michael de mariak had hopeful dreams that night as he slept in his house at platini but when he awoke in the morning it was to receive the disturbing news that the king and the cardinal were at versailles together the minister being lodged in a room under that of the monarch quickly came still more disturbing news the king demanded a return of the seals before this tidings could be well digested the frightened plotter learned that his own arrests had been ordered and that the exxons were already at his door to secure his person while the courtier conspirator was thus being attended to the soldier his brother was not forgotten a courier had been dispatched to the headquarters of the army in piemo bearing a letter to marshall schoenberg who with martial's la force and mariak had formed their a junction of the forces under their control mariak was in command on the day of the careers arrival and was impatiently awaiting the news for which he had been prepared by his brother of the cardinal's disgrace schumberg opened his dispatches the first words he saw in the king's own handwriting were these my dear cousin you will not fail to arrest marshall maryak it is for the good of my service and for your own exculpation schonberg looked at the document with startled eyes what could this mean and was it safe to attempt an arrest a large section of the troops were devoted to mariak he consulted with la force who advised him to obey orders whatever the consequences schomberg thereupon showed mariak the dispatch he beheld it with surprise and alarm but without thought of resistance i can protest that i have done nothing contrary to the king's service he said the truth is that my brother the keeper of the seals and i have always been the servants of the queen mother she must have had the worths of it and cardinal krishna has won the day against her and her servants so it proved indeed and he was to suffer for it he was tried not on any political charge however the crimes alleged against him were peculation and extortion common practices with many of his fellow generals it is a very strange thing said he bitterly to prosecute me as they do my trial is a mere question of hay straw wood stones and lime there is not case enough for whipping a lackey he was mistaken there was case enough for beheading a marshal it was not a question of peculation but of offending the great cardinal for which he was really put on trial and the case ended in his being found guilty of malfeasance in office and executed his brother died in prison three months afterwards of decline so the records say duke's day as the day we have described came to be called was over the queen mother had lost her dupes had suffered rashidhiya was more powerful than ever she had but strengthened his ascendancy over the king but mary de medici was not the woman to acknowledge defeat easily no sooner had her first effort failed then her enmity against the two powerful ministers showed itself in a new direction the principal agent of her purposes being now her son the duke of oleo brother to the king the duke after an angry interview with the cardinal left paris in haste for olea his mother declaring to the king that the occasion of his sudden departure was that he could no longer tolerate by his presence rich leo's violent proceedings against herself she professed to have been taken by surprise by his departure which louis doubting she took occasion to belch forth fire and flames against the cardinal and make a fresh attempt to ruin him in the king's estimation though she had previously bound herself by oath to take no more steps against him her malignity defeated itself richarlia was too skillful and adept in the game of politics to be so easily beaten he brought the affair before the council seemingly utterly indifferent what might be done the trouble might be ended he suggested by his own retirement or that of the queen mother whichever in their wisdom they might deem best the implied threat settled the matter the king alarmed at the idea of having the government of france left on his weak hands at once gave the offending lady to understand that she had better retire for a time to one of his provincial palaces recommending mulan married and medici heard this order with fiery indignation she shut herself up in the castle of compiegne where she then was and declared that she would not leave unless dragged out by main force in the end however she changed her mind fled by night from the castle and made her way to brussels where she took refuge from her powerful foe michelia's game was won married and medici had lost all influence with her son she was never to see him again a number of years passed before a new plot was hatched against the cardinal then a conspiracy was organized which threatened not only his power but his life it was in 1636 the king's headquarters were then at the castle of demua the duke of olean who had been recently an armed rebellion against the king and had been pardoned for his treason determined in common with the count of swesson that their enemy the cardinal should die there were others in this plot of assassination two of the duke's gentlemen montrezo and santibal being chosen to deal the fatal blow they were to station themselves at the foot of the grand stairway meet joshua had his exit from the council and strike him dead the duke was to give the signal for the murderous assault the door of the council chamber opened the king and the cardinal came out together and descended the stairs in company attending louie until he had reached the foot of the stairway and gone into an adjoining room the cardinal turned to ascend again without a moment's suspicion that the two gentlemen at the stair foot clutched hidden daggers in their hands ready at a signal from the duke who stood nearby to plunge them in his breast the signal did not come at the last moment the courage of gaston of orleans failed him whether from something in richelieu's earnest and dignified aspect or some sudden fear of serious consequences to himself the chief conspirator turned hastily away without speaking the fatal word agreed upon what the duke feared to do the count dared not to do the two chosen assassins stood expectant greeting the card unless he passed and waiting in nervous impatience for the promised signal it failed to come their daggers remained undrawn rashelya calmly ascended the stairs to his rooms without a dream of the deadly peril he had run the conspiracy against the cardinal which has attained the greatest historical notoriety is that associated with the name of saint mars the famous favorite of louis xiii brilliant and witty a true type of the courtiers of the time this handsome youth so amused and interested the king that when he was only 19 years of age louis made him master of the wardrobe and grand echarie of france monsieur le grand he was called and grand enough he seemed in his independent and capricious dealings with the king louis went so far as to complain to richarlia of the humors of his youthful favorite i am very sorry he wrote under date of january 4th 1641 to trouble you about the ill-tempers of monsieur le con i upgraded him with his heedlessness he answered that for that matter he could not change and that he should do no better than he had done i said that considering his obligations to me he ought not to address me in that manner he answered in his usual way that he didn't want my kindness that he could do very well without it and that he would be quite as well content to be saint mark as mosul kong but as for changing his ways and his life he couldn't do it and so he continually nagging at me and i at him we came as far as the courtyard where i said to him that being in the temper he was in he would do me the pleasure of not coming to see me i have not seen him since this letter yields a curious revelation of the secret history of a royal court there have been few kings with whom such impudent independence would have served louis xiii was one of them sank mars seemed to have known his man the quarrel was not of long continuance resharia who had first placed the youth near the king easily reconciled them a service which the foolish boy soon repaid by lending an ear to the enemies of the cardinal for this richarlia was in a way responsible he had begun to find the constant attendance of his favorite upon the king troublesome to himself and gave him plainly to understand so one day he sent word to him not to be for the future so continually at his heels and treated him even to his face with as much tartness and imperiousness as if he had been the lowest of his valets such treatment was not likely to be well received by one of the independent disposition of saint mars he joined in a plot against the cardinal the king was ill the cardinal more so gaston ducavolion was again in paris and full of his old intriguing spirit the duke of bouyon was there also having been sent for by the king to take command of the army of italy he too was drawn into the plot which was being woven against richelieu the queen and of austria was another of the conspirators the plot thus organized was the deepest and most far-reaching which had yet been laid against the all-powerful minister was prince sovereign of the town of siddha this place was to serve the conspirators as an asylum in case of reverse but a town was not enough an army was needed whence should it come spain might furnish it the affair was growing to the dimensions of a conspiracy against the crown as well as the minister viconte fonte a man who detested the cardinal and would not have hesitated to murder him as a simpler way of disposing of the difficulty was named by saint mars as a proper person to deal with the spaniards he set out for madrid and soon succeeded in negotiating a secret treaty in the name of the duke of olean by whose term spain was to furnish the conspirators with twelve thousand foot five thousand horse and the necessary funds for the enterprise the town of siddha and the name of saint mars and bulyan were not mentioned in this treaty but were given in a separate document while this dangerous work was going on the cardinal was dangerously ill a prey to violent fever and with an abscess on his arm which prevented him from writing the king was with the army which was besieging with him was sank miles who was doing his best to insinuate suspicions of the minister into the mind of the king all seemed promising for the conspirators the illness of the cardinal in their opinion being likely to carry him off in no long period and meanwhile preventing him from discovering the plot and setting himself right with the king evidently these hopeful people did not know the resources of cardinal resilier in all his severe illness his eyes had not been blind his intellect not at rest keen as they thought themselves they had a man with double their resources to deal with though was by no means surrounded by the intricate web of spies and intrigues with which fiction and drama have credited him he was not without his secret agents and his means of tracing the most hidden movements of his enemies sank miles lacked the caution necessary for a conspirator his purposes became evident to the king who had no thought of exchanging his great minister for a frivolous boy who was only fitted to amuse his hours of relaxation the outcome of the affair appears in a piece of news published in the gazette de france on june 21st 1642 the cardinal duke it said after remaining two days at all's embarked on the eleventh of this month for taraskong his health becoming better and better the king has ordered under arrest marquis de sanchmas grand acce of france had a thunderbolt fallen in their midst the enemies of christilia could not have been in greater consternation than at this simple item of news how came it about the fox was not asleep nor had his illness robbed his hand and his brain of their cunning the king overladen with their affairs of state from which his minister when well had usually relieved him sent a message of confidence to indicating that his enemies would seek in vain to separate them in reply the cardinal sent the king a document which filled the monarch with an astonishment that was only equaled by his wrath it was a copy of the secret treaty of oleon with spain the king could hardly believe his eyes so this was what lay behind the insinuations of saint mars an insurrection was projected against the state the cardinal mayhap the king himself was to be overthrown by force of arms only the sleepless vigilance of rishir could have discovered and exposed this perilous plot it remained for the king to second the work of his minister by decisive action an order was at once issued for the arrest of saint miles and his intimate friend monsieur de tu while a messenger was sent off in all haste to the army of italy bearing orders for the arrest of the duke of bouyon at the head of his troops just arrived from his mission to spain returned to that kingdom with all haste having first said to sanc miles sir you are a fine figure if you were shorter by the whole head you would not cease to be very tall as for me who am already very short nothing could be taken off me without inconveniencing me and making me cut the poorest figure in the world you will be good enough if you please to let me get out of the way of edge tools the minor parties to the conspiracy with the exception of the prudent fontre were in custody the most guilty of all the king's brother was at large what part was he to play in the drama of retribution flight or treachery to his accomplices alone remained to him he chose the latter sending an agent to the king who had just joined the cardinal at tarrascon with directions to confess everything and implore for him the pardon of his royal brother the cardinal questioned this agent the abe de la javier with unrelenting severity made him write and sign everything and was inclined to make the prince duke appear as a witness at the trial and yield up his accomplices in the face of the world this final disgrace however was omitted at the wish of louis and an order of exile was sent from the king to his brother which bore this note in the cardinal's hand monsieur will have in his place of exile twelve thousand crowns a month the same sum that the king of spain had promised to give him the dying cardinal had triumphed over all his foes he had from his bed at tahasquam dictated the king the course to be pursued entailing dishonor to the duke of leon and death to the grand ekeri of france the king then took his way back to fontainebleau in the litter of the cardinal which the latter had lent him crescelia did not remain long behind him he was conveyed to his house in lyon in a litter shaped like a square chamber covered with red damask and born on the shoulders of eighteen guards within beside his couch was a table covered with papers at which he worked with his ordinary diligence chatting pleasantly at intervals with such of his servants has accompanied him in the same ecuage he left lyon for the loire on his return to paris on the way it was necessary to pull down walls and bridge ditches that this great litter in which the greatest man in france lay in mortal illness might pass what followed needs few words the duke of bouyon confessed everything and was pardoned on condition of his delivering up siddha to the king he was kept in prison however till after the death of his accomplices sank mars and de tu who were tried and sentenced to execution bull had not long to wait the execution took place on the very day on which sentence had been pronounced the two culprits met death firmly saint miles was but 22 years of age he had rapidly run his course now that i make not a single step which does not lead me to death i am more capable than anybody else of estimating the value of the things of the world enough of this world a way to paradise said di tu as he walked to the scaffold there were no more conspiracies against richelieu there was no time for them for in less than three months afterwards he was dead the greatest or at least the most dramatic minister known to the pages of history had departed from this world his royal master did not long survive him in five months afterwards louis xiii had followed his minister to the grave end of chapter 20 chapter 21 a historical tale is volume 6 french by charles morris this librivox recording is in the public domain chapter 21 the parliament of paris in the streets of paris all was timult and fiery indignation never had there been a more sudden or violent outbreak the whole city seemed to have turned into the streets not until the era of the revolution a century and a half later was the capital of france again to see such an uprising of the people against the court brucelle had been arrested councillor brucell a favorite of the populace who sustained him in his opposition to the court party and at once the city was ablaze for the first time in the history of france had the people risen in support of their representatives it was by no means the first time that royalty had ended its disputes with the parliament in this summary manner four years previously anne of austria the queen regent had done the same thing and scarce of voice had been raised in protest but in the ensuing four years public opinion had changed the king louis xiv was but 10 years old his mother aided by her favorite minister cardinal mazzagh ruled the kingdom misruled it as the people thought the country was crushed under its weight of taxes the finances were an utter disorder france was successful abroad but her successes had been dearly bought and the people groaned under the burden of their victories parliament made itself the mouthpiece of the public discontent it no longer felt upon it the iron hand of rischiller mazar was able but he was not a master and the parliament began once more to claim that authority and affairs of state from which it had been deposed by the great cardinal a conflict arose between the members and the court which soon led to acts of open hostility an edict laying attacks upon all provisions which entered paris irritated the citizens and the parliament refused to register it other steps towards independence were taken by the members gradually they resumed their old rights and the court party was forced to yield but courage returned to the queen regent with the news that the army of france had gained a great victory no sooner had the tidings reached paris then the city was electrified by hearing that president blanc misneal and councillor brucelle had been arrested it was the arrest of brucell that stirred the popular heart mazar and the queen had made the dangerous mistake of not taking into account the state of the public mind there was a blaze at once a sensation a rush an outcry and a shutting up of shops the excitement of the people was intense moment by moment the tumult grew greater brussels they shouted that perilous populace had arisen which was afterwards to show what frightful deeds it could do under the impulse of oppression and misgovernment paul de gondii afterwards known as cardinal de retz then co-editor of the archbishop of paris and the leading spirit with the populace hurried to the palace accompanied by martial de la merce the city is in a frightful state they told the queen the people are furious and may soon grow unmanageable the air is full of revolt anne of austria listen to them with set lips and angry eyes there is revolt in imagining there can be revolts she sternly replied these are the ridiculous stories of those who favor trouble the king's authority will soon restore order monsieur de guiton an old courtier who entered as she was speaking declared that the co-adjutant had barely represented the facts and said that he did not see how anybody could sleep with things in such a state well mr dickie tong and what is your advice ask derretz my advice is to give up that old rascal of a brucell dead or alive to give him up dead said the co-editor would not accord with either the piety or the prudence of the queen to yield him alive might quiet the people the queen turned to him a face hot with anger and exclaimed i understand you mr co-agitor you would have me set brusel at liberty i would strangle him with these hands first as she finished these words she put her hands close to the coagitor's face and added in a threatening tone and those who her voice ceased he was left to infer the rest yet despite this infatuation of the queen it was evident that something must be done if paris was to be saved the people grew more tumultuous fresh tidings continued to come in each more threatening than the last the queen at length yielded so far as to promise that bruce should be set free if the people would first disperse and cease their tumultuous behavior the co-editor was bidden to proclaim this in the streets he asked for an order to sustain him but the queen refused to give it and withdrew to her little grey room angry at herself for yielding so far as she had dechetz did not find the situation a very pleasant one for himself mazzagh pushed him gently towards the door saying restore the peace of the realm marshall meyer drew him onward he went into the street wearing his robe of office and bestowing benedictions right and left though while doing so his mind was busy in considering how he was going to get out of the difficulty which lay before him it grew worse instead of better marshall meyer losing his head through excitement advanced waving his sword in the air and shouting at the top of his voice hurrah for the king liberation for brucell this did very well for those within hearing but his sword provoked far more than his voice quieted those at a distance looked on his action as a menace and their fury was augmented on all sides there was a rush for arms stones were flung by the rioters one of which struck dichets and felled him to the earth as he picked himself up an excited youth rushed at him and put a musket to his head only the wit and readiness of the coagitor saved him from imminent peril though i did not know him a bit says in his memoirs i thought it would not be well to let him suppose so at such a moment on the contrary i said to him ah wretch if thy father saw thee he thought i was the best friend of his father on whom however i had never set eyes the fellow withdrew ashamed of his violence and before any further attack could be made upon darretz he was recognized by the people and dragged to the marketplace constantly crying out as he went the queen has promised to restore brucelle the good news by this time had spread through the multitude whose cries of anger were giving place to shouts of joy their arms were hastily disposed of and a great throng thirty or forty thousand in number followed the coagiter to the pale royal when he entered marshall meyer turned to the queen and said madame here is he to whom i owe my life and your majesty the safety of the palais royal the queen's answer was an incredulous smile on seeing it the hasty temper of the marshal broke out in an oath madam he said hotly no proper man can venture to flatter you in the state in which things are and if you do not this very day set poised at liberty tomorrow there will not be left one stone upon another in paris anne of austria carried away by her pride and superciliousness could not be brought to believe that the populace would dare attempt an actual revolt against the king de gretez would have spoken in support of the marshall's words but she cut him short saying in a tone of mockery go and rest yourself sir you have worked very hard he left the palace in a rage it was increased when word was brought to him that he had been ridiculed at the supper table of the queen she had gone so far as to blame him for increasing the tumult and threatened to make an example of him and to interdict the parliament in short the exercise of power had made the woman mad deretz reflected if the queen designed to punish him she should have something to punish him for he was not the man to be made a casper of we are not in such a bad case as you suppose gentlemen he said to his friends there is an intention of crushing the public it is for me to defend it from oppression tomorrow before midday i shall be master of paris ann of austria had made an enemy of one who had been her strong friend a bold and restless man capable of great deeds he had long taken pains to make himself popular in paris during that night he and his emissaries worked in secret upon the people early the next day the mob was out again arms in hand and ripe for mischief the chancellor on his way to the palace of justice suddenly found his carriage surrounded by these rioters he hastily sought refuge in the ote delune the mob followed him pillaging as they went destroying the furniture seeking the fugitive he had taken refuge in a small chamber where thinking that his last hour had come he knelt in confession before his brother the bishop of mull fortunately for him the rioters failed to discover him and were led away by another fancy it was like a sudden and violent conflagration lighted up from the poner over the whole city says everybody without exception took up arms children of five and six years of age were seen dagger in hand and the mothers themselves carried them in less than two hours there were in paris more than 200 barricades boarded with flags and all the arms that the league had left entire everybody cried hurrah for the king but echo answered none of you are mazaka it was an incipient revolution but it was the minister and the regent not the king against whom the people had risen its object being the support of the parliament of paris not the states general of the kingdom france was not yet ready for the radical work reserved for a later day the turbulent parisians were in the street arms and hand but they had not yet lost the sentiment of loyalties of the king a century and a half more of misrule were needed to complete this transformation in the national idea while all this was going on the co-adjutant the soul of the outbreak kept it home vowing that he was powerless to control the people at an early hour the parliament assembled at the palace of justice but its deliberations were interrupted by shouts of brusel brucell from the immense multitude which filled every adjoining avenue only the release of the arrested members could appease the mob the parliament determined to go in a body and demand this of the queen their journey was an eventful one paris was in insurrection everywhere they found the people in arms while barricades were thrown up at every hundred paces through the shouting and howling mob they made their way to the queen's palace the ushers in front with their square caps the members following in their robes at their head monsieur molly their premier president the conference with the queen was a passionate one mr molle spoke for the parliament representing to the queen the extreme danger paris was in the peril to all france unless the prisoners were released and the sedition allayed he spoke to a woman who feared nothing because she knew but little and who was just then controlled by pride and passion instead of reason i am quite aware that there is a disturbance in the city she said furiously but you shall answer to me for it gentlemen of parliament you your wives and your children with further threats that the king would remember the cause of these evils when he reached his majority the incensed woman flouted from the chamber of audience slamming the door violently behind her to deal with her in her present mood was evidently impracticable the members left the palace to return they quickly found themselves surrounded by an angry mob furious at their non-success disposed to hold them responsible for the failure on their arrival at the chu santo nerei just as they were about to turn onto the ponef a band of about 200 men advanced threateningly upon them headed by a cook shop lad armed with a halberd which he thrust against monsieur molle's body crying turn trader and if thou wouldst not thyself be slain give up to us brusel or mazara and the chancellor as hostages molay quietly put the weapon aside you forget yourself he said with calm dignity and are oblivious of the respect you owe to my office the mob however was past the point of paying respect to dignitaries they hustled the members threatened the president with swords and pistols and several times tried to drag him into a private house but he resisted and was aided by members and friends who surrounded him slowly the parliamentary body made its way back to the palais royal whether they had resolved to return mr moley preserving his dignity of mean and movement despite the running fire of insults threats execrations and blasphemies that arose from every side they reached the palace at length in diminished numbers many of the members having dropped out of the procession the whole court was assembled in the gallery molay spoke first he was a man of great natural eloquence who was at his best as an orator when surrounded by peril and he depicted the situation so graphically that all present except for the queen were in terror monsieur made as if he would throw himself upon his knees before the queen who remained inflexible says derek's four or five princesses who were trembling with fear did throw themselves at her feet the queen of england who had come that day from saint germain represented that the troubles had never been so serious at their commencement in england nor the feelings so heated or united paris in short was on the eve of a revolution and the queen could not be made to see it cardinal mazar who was present and who had been severely dealt with in the speeches some of the orators telling him in mockery that if he would only go so far as the pont nerf he would learn for himself how things were now joined the others in entreating anne of austria to give way she did so at length consenting to the release of pusel though not without a deep sigh which showed what violence she did her feelings in the struggle it is an interesting spectacle to see this woman moved by sheer pride and obstinacy conjoined with ignorance of the actual situation seeking to set her single will against that of a city and revolt and endangering the very existence of the monarchy by her sheer lack of reason her consent for the time being settled the difficulty though the passions which had been aroused were not easily to be said at rest brusell was released and took his seat again in the parliament and the people returned to their homes satisfied for the time with their victory over the queen and cardinal in truth a contest had arisen which was yet to yield important consequences the prince of kondeh had arrived in paris during these events he had the prestige of a successful general he did not like the cardinal and he looked on the parliament as imprudent and insolent if i should join hands with them he said it might be best for my interests but my name is louis de bobon and i do not wish to shake the throne these devils of square caps are they mad about bringing me either to commence a civil war or to put a rope around their own necks i will let them see that they are not the potentates they think themselves and that they may easily be brought to reason the cardinal may possibly be mistaken in his measures answered deretz he will find paris a hard nut to crack it will not be taken like dunkirk by mining an assault retorted the prince angrily but if the bread of guerness were to fail them for a week he left the co-adjuster to imagine the consequences the contest continued in january 1649 the queen the boy king and the whole court set out by night for the castle of saint germain it was unfurnished with scarcely a bundle of straw to lie upon but the queen could not have been more gay had she won a battle taken paris and had all who displeased her hanged and nevertheless she was very far from all that far enough indeed paris was in the hands of her enemies who were as gay as the queen on the 8th of january the parliament of paris decreed cardinal mazzagh an enemy to the king and the state and bad all subjects of the king to hunt him down war was declared against the queen regent and her favorite the cardinal had it been the state's general in place of the parliament the french revolution might have then and there begun many of the greatest lords joined the side of the people troops were levied in the city their command being offered to the prince of conti the parliaments of ekes and rua voted to support that of paris it was decided that all the royal funds in the exchequers of the kingdom should be seized and used for the defense of the people all was festivity in the city the versatile people seemed to imagine that to declare war was to decree victory there was dancing everywhere within the walls there was the rumble of war without the prince of kondeh at the head of the king's troops had taken the post of shahantan from the fondues as the malcontents called themselves and had carried out his threat of checking the flow of bread to the city the gay parisians were beginning to feel the inconvenience of hunger what followed is too long a story to be told here except in bear epitome a truce was patched up between the contending parties bread float again into paris the seared and hungry people grew courageous and violent again when their appetites were satisfied when mr moly and his fellows returned to paris with a treaty of peace which they had signed the populists gathered around them in fury none of your peace none of you are mazakan they angrily shouted we must go to saint germain to seek our good king we must fling into the river all the mazars one of them laid his hand threateningly on president molay's arm the latter looked him in the face calmly when you have killed me he said quietly i shall only need six feet of earth. you can get back to your house secretly by way of the record offices whispered one of his companions the court never hides itself he composedly replied if i were certain to perish i would not commit this pultrunary which moreover would but give courage to the rioters they would seek me in my house if they thought i shrank from them here musi was a man of courage to face a mob is at times more dangerous than to face an army paris was in disorder the agitation was spreading all over france but the army was faithful to the king and without it the frond was powerless the outbreak had ended in a treaty of peace and amnesty in which the parliament had in a measure one as it had preserved all its rights and privileges it was to be a short piece conde elated by having beaten the frond claimed a lion's share in the government his brother the prince of conti and his sister the duchess of longaville joined him in these pretensions the affair ended in a bold step on the part of mazara and the queen the two princes and monsieur de langeville were arrested and conveyed to the castle of von sen while the princesses were ordered to retire to their estates and the duchess of longeville fearing arrest fled in haste to normandy for the present the star of the cardinal was in the ascendant but his master stroke set war on foot again the parliament of paris supported the princes their partisans rallied bordeaux broke into insurrection elsewhere hot blood declared itself the duke of olayon joined the party of the prisoners the parliament enjoined all the officers of the crown to obey none but the duke the lieutenant general of the kingdom on the night of february 6 1651 mazara set out again for saint-germain paris had become far too hot to hold him the tidings of his flight brought the people into the streets again the duke of oleo informed cardinal de gretez that the queen proposed to follow her flying minister with the boy king what is to be done he asked somewhat helplessly it is a bad business but how are we to stop it how cried the more practical the ritz why by shutting the gates of paris to begin with the king must not go within an hour the emissaries of the ready co-editor were rousing up the people right and left with the tidings of the projected flight of the queen with her son soon the city swarmed again with armed and angry men the gates were seized mounted guards patrolled the streets the crowd surged towards the palais royal within the palace all was alarm and confusion anne of austria had indeed been on the point of flight her son was in his traveling dress but the people were at the door clamoring to see the king threatening dire consequences if the doors were not open to them they could not long be kept out some immediate action must be taken the boy's traveling attire was quickly replaced by his night dress and he was laid in bed his mother cautioning him to lie quiet and feign sleep the king we must see the king came the vociferous cry from the street open the people demand to see their king the doors were forced the mob was in the palace clamour and tumult reigned below the royal chambers the queen sent words to the people that the king was asleep in his bed they might enter and see him if they would promise to tread softly and keep strict silence this message at once stopped at tumult the noise subsided the people began to file into the room stepping as noiselessly as though shod with down gazing with odd eyes on the seemingly sleeping face of the boy king the queen stood at the pillow of her son a graceful and beautiful woman her outstretched arm holding back the heavy folds of the drapery her face schooled to quiet repose louis lay with closed eyes and regular breathing playing his part well for hours a stream of the men and women of paris flowed through the chamber moving in reverential silence gazing on the boy's face as on a sacred treasure of their own till three o'clock in the morning the movement continued the queen standing all this time like a beautiful statue her son still feigning slumber it was a scene of remarkable and picturesque character that night of strain and excitement passed the king was with them still of that the people were assured he must remain with them there must be an end of midnight flights the patrol was kept up the gates watched the king was a prisoner in the hands of the parisians the king our master is a captive said mr moley voicing to the parliament the queen's complaint he was a captive in the hands of mazar replied the duke of olayo but thank god he is so no longer the people had won mazakam was beaten he hastened to the avrah where the princes were then confined and set them at liberty himself his power in france for the time was at an end he made his way to the frontier which he crossed on the 12th of march he was just in time the parliament of paris had issued orders for his arrest wherever found in france we must end here with this closing of the contest between mezah and the frond history goes on to tell that the contest was reopened mazzagang returned there was a battle in paris the frond failed and mazar died in office the popular outbreak here briefly chronicled is of interest from the fact that it immediately followed the success of the insurrection in england and the execution of charles the first the provocation was the same in the two nations the result highly different in both cases it was a revolt against the tyranny of the court and the attempt to establish absolutism but the difference in results lay in the fact that england had a single parliament composed of politicians while france had 10 parliaments composed of magistrates and unaccustomed to handle great questions of public policy christian had taken from the civic parliaments of france what little power they possessed and they were but shadowy prototypes of the english representative assembly without any unity of action or aim and by turns excited and dismayed by the examples that came to them from england the fondue had to guide them no hamdin or cromwell they had at their backs neither people nor army the english had been able to accomplish a revolution the frond failed before the dexterous prudence of mazar and the queen's fidelity to her minister their lay before france a century and a half of autocratic rule and popular suffering then was to come the convening of the states general the rise of the people and the final downfall of absolute royalty and feudal privileges in the red tide of the revolution end of chapter 21.

2engIfLZdYw	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2engIfLZdYw	I. What is intellectual humility? Part 4: The wisdom of the folk (Peter Samuelson)	[Music] as dr. church indicated my task in this brief lecture is to explore how empirical research might help us further elucidate intellectual humility specifically how both existing and new approaches in the psychological sciences might contribute to understanding this important virtue I would like to begin by painting a portrait of an intellectually humble person using the wisdom of the folk my colleagues and I including dr. church initiated a study to find out what regular people might think when they conceived of an intellectually humble person what kind of traits that person might have etc well most people save some philosophers and psychologists have probably not given intellectual humility much thought it turns out they have a fairly sophisticated understanding of what an intellectually humble person is like they may not be able to quickly define it but they know it when they see it it's a little like the reaction US Supreme Court justice Potter Stewart had in the 80s when he admitted he had trouble defining hardcore pornography in a case and he said I know it when I see it intellectual humility is a little like that not like pornography but like other complex and hard to define concepts we know them when we see them psychologists call such notions implicit theories they have studied such complex concepts as intelligence creativity and wisdom to name a few in our study we begin by asking people to think of words and phrases that characterize an intellectually humble person from this we got a list of about a hundred and one words then we asked a separate group of people to rate these words from one to seven as to how well they describe an intellectually humble person and here are our top ten humble not a show-off doesn't brag modest intelligent smart thinker humility love of learning and intellectual now in the last step in this process we took the top 50 rated words and phrases and asked a group of people to sort the descriptions into categories according to how similar they were to each other through a statistical procedure we added up the number of times the words were paired with each other giving us a sense of how many distinct clusters of words there were next we plotted the position of these words in three dimensional space so that two words often associated with each other would end up located close to each other on the graph through these procedures we created a semantic map of the relationship of these words to each other according to how similar they were perceived to be and you can see this in the figure that you see on the screen and you see we discovered three distinct clusters of descriptors three dimensions of intellectually humble person there's an epistemic dimension that's circled in red that includes descriptors like smart bright and intelligent combined with elements such as curiosity inquisitiveness and love of learning a self-oriented interpersonal dimension circled in green with words like modest not a show-off and doesn't brag which indicate how a person is perceived by others and then there's an other oriented interpersonal dimension circled in blue with descriptors like polite honest reliable and unselfish which indicate how a person interacts with others so there's this cognitive sign of intellectual humility which has to do with how one thinks how one exercises once intellect and then there's this social side that has to do with how one thinks of one's self and relationship to others that is intrapersonal and how one interacts with others that is interpersonal I would like to keep these dimensions in mind as we examine various aspects of the psychology that helps us understand intellectual humility our goal with this brief introduction and with the whole course is to develop a more sophisticated understanding of what an intellectually humble person looks like how that person thinks how that person acts how that person interacts with others so five questions about intellectual humility lead us to five different areas of psychological Sciences to answer those questions the first question is how do we become intellectually humble and so we look to developmental psychology for insights about how this virtue develops in human beings and how it might change over time the second question what can human cognition tell us about intellectual humility and here a cognitive psychology can help us think about aspects of human cognition that both promote and inhibit the exercise of intellectual humility the third question are some people born humble personality and social psychology help us understand the traits of an intellectually humble person and how enduring those traits our fourth question how do emotions affect our ability to be intellectually humble research on the impact of emotion on our thinking and our interacting with others in the exchange of ideas can inform the study of intellectual humility finally how do we know who is intellectually humble given this rich and complex portrait of an intellectually humble person that psychology offers us how can we test people and measure their level of intellectual humility to know how we might grow this important virtue	Philosophy at the University of

xZdv70gUAt8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZdv70gUAt8	Cinematic Excrement: Episode 77 - Sharknado 3	welcome to cinematic excrement part of this balanced breakfast and today I am finally tackling a movie that I have wanted to tear into for a long time it is one of the most laughably inept direct-to-video movies in recent memory and was apparently directed by a rather vindictive asshat who thinks he is completely above reproach and prefers to silence criticism with takedown notices and yes there is a risk the same thing could happen to me but I am Not Afraid I will not be silenced by his tomfoolery my voice will be heard whether he likes it or not so without any further ado let's take a look at cool cat saves the key what i I just how how was this even possible I'm still filming the damn thing I haven't even uploaded anything yet [ __ ] got connections and no respect for criticism well [ __ ] I guess we're just going to have to go with Plan B would be nice if I had a plan B what mitts um uh what sharknado 3 ah good old sharknado you never fail to disappoint me mostly because my expectations for you are typically pretty low the Z grade co-production from the asylum in the sippy Channel became a Twitter darling back in 2013 and continues to shock and amaze with its third installment sharknado 3 oh hell no and yes that's really the title I suppose it slightly more creative than sharknado 2 the second one but it still feels slightly underwhelming I would have gone with the shark a'no that's just me this time around fin Shepard played once again by ion ziering finds himself in our nation's capital where he's presented with an award for saving New York in the last movie oh man I want two golden chainsaw I don't know what I'd do with it but I want one and if you've seen either of the first two movies it should come as no surprise that bin is surrounded by celebrity cameos including President Mark Cuban get it because he's from shark tank Wacka Wacka vice-president and Colter and you thought the idea of Donald Trump in the White House was scary and a few more random d-list people you probably don't care about an lou ferrigno cult take selfie with guy from 90210 Hulk and big fan Bart McGrath is also reprising his role as Finn's brother-in-law although this is the only scene he's in for some reason I guess Joe Dirt 2 just took up too much of his time writer cameo meanwhile the rest of Finn's family are on vacation at Universal Studios Shane and here we find Finn's pregnant wife April played by Tara Reid her mother Mae played by Bo Derek yes April and May very clever her daughter Claudia played this time by Ryan Newman and their son Matt played by Sir not appearing in this film already I have a question why is Finn's family in Florida instead of being with him in DC you think they'd want to be there when he received an award from the freaking president were they just not invited to the award ceremony and if that's the case dick move president Cuban dick move but it turns out leaving his family in Florida may have been a good idea after all as Finn feels a sharknado coming on I know how this is gonna sound but I can sense these storms now yep that sounds ridiculous but for these movies that's par for the course ridiculous or not he's right and the sharknado soon hits the White House I guess the Sharks are Democrats Lou Ferrigno no so it's time for Finn and the President to take up arms and shoot them some sharks unfortunately this action sequence is kind of boring for the most parts it's very reminiscent of the boondock saints to where the heroes just stand there and shoot stuff it's a little bit sillier because you know sharks but I still think they could have done better even with the low budget let's do this Wow they're dead already oh wait never mind they're still alive somehow and this is the point where the movie becomes a bit of a mess Finn makes his way down to Florida to meet up with his family naturally battling sharks on the way and his family just kinda chills at Universal Studios occasionally running away from sharks and just waits for him to show up and that's all they do really it's pretty much the same problem the second movie had Finn is off having an adventure with half the cast and the other half doesn't really have much to do this entire Universal Studios story feels like half shameless product placement and half pointless filler to bring the runtime to 90 minutes you'd think they would have learned from the last movies mistakes but instead they seemed to have doubled down and of course we have more celebrity cameos some of them are kind of fun like chris jericho george RR martin Jerry Springer and Michael Winslow they also brought back the cast of The Today Show who are once again playing this completely straight which is awesome but then you have Michelle Bachman why I mean her acting isn't especially bad or anything but of all people why her if you can't get anybody cool to do a cameo there's nothing wrong with simply not doing a cameo scene anyway while Finn is driving to Florida because all the planes have been grounded he suddenly accosted by another sharknado even though this guy's were obviously clear just before it hits and how was he surprised by that sharknado I thought he could sense these things now where some such [ __ ] but he gets some help from an old friend Nova played by Cassie Scerbo and her sidekick Frankie Muniz who stops the sharknado by blowing it up or racing it or however the [ __ ] it works now pretty soon I expect they'll start taking these things out by magic like they'll literally start casting spells and [ __ ] sharknado patronum i-i don't have a magic wand while it's nice to see nova again I'm a bit puzzled by the scratch on her face I swear it keeps changing as the movie goes on it's always in about the same place except for this one moment where they inverted the shots but the size and angle changes I'm not even sure why the scratch is there in the first place the first time we see her she's wearing a mask and when she takes it off the scratch is already there how did it get there why did they feel the need to put the scratch on her face does it really add that much to the character and eventually it just disappears where did it go is this really what it's come to I'm nitpicking a scratch on someone's face what am I doing with my life you ah well back to the movie Nova and Frankie his character has a name but screw it I'm just going to call him Frankie are apparently traveling the country taking on sharknadoes and their shoddily armored RV which looks like something from the poor man's mad maps and considering the asylum made this movie I would not be surprised if they recycled that for a Mad Max Mach Buster I wonder what they would call it insane Ivan Damien maybe Ludacris Larry ooo unhinged Umberto now that's too much by the way if you're wondering how Nova just happened to run into Finn the movie does offer an explanation she has a tracking app that shows Finn's location at all times that's not creepy at all but as weird as Nova's stalker behavior is the weirder thing is Finn is totally cool with it he doesn't so much as bat an eyelash you know where I'm at at all times friends are supposed to a guy officially rape sounds legit on their way south they stop in an Air Force Base in Charleston and Wow they made it from DC to Charleston already that's like an eight-hour drive how fast does an RV go anyway Finn just happens to know the bases commanding officer how goddamn convenient and he happily let's spin and Nova borrow a freaking jet handing out fighter jets to civilians doesn't seem like the most logical thing to do or the most legal and I find it a bit disconcerting that a couple of random civilians appear to have all the answers but the entire United States military is completely helpless that does not bode well especially since according to Frankie the sharknadoes are about to merge into one big super shitstorm merging sharknadoes Sharkey Jane can there be such a thing um yeah it happened in the first movie where have you been so while thin and Nova take to the air another sharknado appears and Frankie tries to take it out but he loses a leg for his troubles and an arm and the other leg okay enough already just a flesh wound but somehow Frankie manages to hit the big red button and blows those sharks right the [ __ ] up thanks for coming Frankie and Finn and Nova crash land in a river in Florida and swim to the surface and their underwear oh okay you not sure what to say to that they make it to Universal Studios and Finn is finally reunited with April but through a wacky turn of events he ends up trapped on a runaway roller coaster well he's dead right are you [ __ ] kidding me no one could have survived that and not only did he survive he doesn't have a scratch on him I know these movies are not exactly supposed to be realistic but there's only so far you can push that so Penn & Teller and David Hasselhoff walk into a bar it turns out the only way to stop these pesky sharknados is by going into space I'd explain why but a it makes no sense and B do you care and while Finn can easily borrow a fighter jet at a moment's notice borrowing a space shuttle is a little tricky even for him fortunately his father just happens to be an astronaut and he's also David Hasselhoff so bonus director cameo but just before the shuttle can launch Finn in the Hoff in to space April being an idiot tries to stop Finn from getting on board and a shark just happens to take out the platform right then so there's no choice but to bring her into space with them how fortunate that they just happened to have a spare Maternity size spacesuit lying around I really don't know why they wanted her on that shuttle it would be one thing if she actually did something but she doesn't in fact that sadly the case for the entire movie it feels like she's only here because well she was in the first two movies so she has to be here her role is entirely superfluous and she wasn't even there when ziering and Hasselhoff filmed the Space Shuttle sequence they filmed her part separately and hoped no one would notice but why filming at all when it's so pointless anyway once they're in space the ha fires up a satellite with a frickin laser beam oh yeah they have one of those Jesco with it and they easily take out all of the sharknadoes or shark akane or whatever but it has the side effect of launching several of the sharks into space so fin has to take them out with his chainsaw light saber yeah they have one of those too because of course they do that is a very good question yes they got me there long story short Finn and April both get swallowed by sharks which somehow allows them to fall safely back to earth because if you haven't noticed by now the main characters are invincible and I guess April gave birth in mid descent why not and with one final salute to the Hoff who is now stranded on the moon our story comes to an end or does it yep the movie ends on a cliffhanger and when this aired on TV the sippy Channel asked fans to vote on Twitter whether April lives or dies I personally think this is kind of dumb for one thing if falling from space to earth inside the belly of a shark doesn't kill her what will and even if the fans vote for her to die you know they're going to put her in the movie anyway they'll just bring her back as a zombie or a cyborg or possibly a zombie cyborg come on it's the asylum would you really put it past them anyway that sharknado 3 how do I sum this up Chris Jericho dies Lou Ferrigno dies David Hasselhoff left to die and Colter lives - five stars now I'm just kidding this was still kind of fun it has its problems of course the effects still look like crap though they have improved with each movie the story is pretty anemic and makes no goddamn sense and Tara Reid's acting is still not great but it was silly enough to keep me entertained and really that's all I can ask for but I have to wonder how much life is left in this franchise I mean think about it each movie is basically telling the exact same joke and I can't be the only one who thinks it's starting to wear a bit thin and where pray tell could they possibly go from here they've already been to outer [ __ ] space what else is there to do I'm sure the next movie will still have an audience and you know I'll be watching right along with them but I think sharknado 4 needs to be the finale otherwise the franchise runs the risk of wearing out its welcome learn from paranormal activities mistakes sharknado and while you're at it learn from your own well next time we're going back to the wonderful world of superheroes but until then I am the smeghead and Hollywood can suck it could be worse give me zombies	Cinematic Excrement	UCStzEOk2Pfftjy2f2sHjflg	2016-03-08	Creative

KhKmDs9bhno	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhKmDs9bhno	Michael Heiser — OT Response to Pagan Divination \| Prophet and Seer	all right the next four I'll just go ahead to read them all because they're all related to each other first one is what are the differences between a prophet and a seer are the roles similar or are they separate an ancient Israelite religion is a role of seer more akin to tribal shamans such as finding lost items with the aid of divination thinking first samuel 9 here and how are such terms links with soothsayers and being an ishshah' elohim man of god has the role of seer disappeared by the Second Temple period well let's take the the man of God one first a man of God is a phrase that's used you know not not a not a lot of the Old Testament I mean it's it's not rare but it's used to refer to several different things it's used for instance of the angel of the Lord in judges 13 I mean Samson's parents see this individual and here you know what he has to say about you know the birth of their son and and they referred to him as ish ish Elohim Isha Elohim so there's man of God there but that's pretty limited I mean it's it's really when it gets applied to the angel the Lord it's only in this passage and again you can see why it would be because they can't they can't at least the first time around discern that this is anybody other than a man and telling them what what God says so it's it's not surprising we would get this label secondly it is used of named individuals that are spokespeople for God again who also received divine revelation Moses for instance Deuteronomy 33 1 Joshua 14 6 David is called you know man of God in second chronicles 8:14 and Nehemiah 1224 shamaya who we don't know much about is gets this label in first Kings 1222 Elijah all right Elijah first and second Kings respectively so you can have a a known figure called man of God and what's interesting is is other than David in that list those those people are also called prophets and that was part of the the question Navi is profit we'll get to that in a moment so right away we can see there's some overlap there and thirdly sometimes the phrase is used of an unidentified figure who speaks for God or again who could receive divine information divine revelation and probably the textbook example this is First Samuel 9 1 amen you know unidentified man of God you know tells Saul about the donkeys and all this sort of thing so you know you know what is the man of God well it's somebody who you know was perceived as being God's spokesperson and could receive divine revelation divine information and may or may not be also called a Navi okay a prophet so there there's some overlap there prophets as I wrote an unseen realm and I've commented elsewhere prophets are people who speak for God now what what these other terms are going to get us into though is not so much the reception of divine information but the how is it through a vision is it through a dream is it an auditory voice is it a divine encounter is it casting Lots or some other form of divination that's where you get some of this other vocabulary that that sort of focuses attention on the how again how how are they getting divine revelation so the question you know referenced a few of these terms but I'll just you know hit a couple myself here we have Koza in hebrew which is from the verb cuz i again to see or to have a vision terms used a few times in tandem with row a which is from raaaah to see so a seer again is another term and Navi of course which is prophet it's interesting in in first chronicles 29 29 Roel and trying to think here which is let me let me just click out to the verse because sometimes they overlap as synonyms and in other cases they it depends which one it is so first chronicles 29 29 I think is worth bringing up it says this now the acts of King David from first to last are written in the Chronicles of Samuel the seer that's row a and in the Chronicles of Nathan the Prophet that's Navi and The Chronicles of gad the sea and that is cozy so we have to Sears here but the terms are different Road and close that but they're obviously it's sort of used in tandem here and one of the Sears okay Samuel of course as elsewhere called a profit the terms don't completely overlap because Nathan is distinguished from GAD in other passages you have prophets and seers in some cases that both of those labels can be attributed to one person and in other passages they are kept separate one guy is a prophet the other guys the seer so it's kind of hard to know you know it's kind of hard to let me just put it this way it's kind of hard to be categorical and say this one couldn't be that one just in toto because there is overlap but there are circumstances where perhaps one a person was perceived as one thing and not the other you know it's just it's hard to tell if there's any real consistency here but there are there are patterns at least in the in the monarchy narratives again what scholars would refer to as the deuteronomistic history and you know what again just the the lay reader would would you know refer to as the his you know historical tax historical books Samuel Kings chronicles that sort of thing in those books prophet and seer are frequently distinguished again Nathan and GAD would be an example they're mentioned together in a verse but one is a prophet the others seer and I think you know what we have going on here in situations like that as prophets were of course Oracle's they did get divine information God spoke to them you know where the Lord came to know you know such and such and said you know hey go over and talk to the king okay that that does happen but seers that terminology often has something to do with a with either a vision or a dream you know something like that so it's really kind of the mode of revelation that is being highlighted or distinguished kind of a subset when we get to this other terminology and we can we're not saying that prophets couldn't have visions at all we're saying is that while the Navi could have a vision the Prophet could have a vision when when the term seer is used that's sort of what that person is known for that's how it to the community that it has become known that this person receives divine information it's through this this modus operandi that sort of thing one of the sub questions I think was about her purse ears akin to like shamans again there were people who use methods of divination again that there there seems to be a relationship there so that seems to be the case another term is kasam or custom these are English translations would be something like medium or let's just go to it let's just go to the one interesting example here because you have soothsayer divine or medium it's the English translations vary so much so first Samuel 28 8 this is the medium and end or passage which I've referenced a lot because of the Elohim reference here with the deceased Samuel when averse eight we have so Saul disguised himself and put on other garments and went he and two men with him and they came to the woman by night and he he said divine for me by a spirit and bring up for me whoever I shall name to you so the the command there to divine is the Hebrew lemma kasam so right away there's this association of some methodology T to solicit the other side and to get divine information kasam is typically negative here we have the medium at Endor she's gonna be a questionable figure a negative figure because of what she's doing you know communicating with spirits and whatnot Deuteronomy 18 10 and verse 14 used this again for forbidden practices so kasam is is a term and a notion that would often be used to reference things that are forbidden or pagan methods of domination or whatnot some scholars though have have speculated and there there's no way to really nail this down that kasam could mean to cut in pieces and that would be a reference to creating objects of wood whether they be lots that are cast or even arrows there there's an episode and one of the one of the I think I'm turning remember which one of the Kings book this is in but it's not coming to me now where the prophetic figure asked you know the king hey throw down some arrows here as a sign and so that that sort of thing wooden objects that were used to cast Lots in some way or or to read you know in an or Acula sense can I not really scholars aren't really sure about that whether kasam actually means that sort of thing or not but it is associated with again doing something to solicit divine information now for those who are interested in this I can't really I can't post the book I mean I I did a paper on the Old Testament response to pagan divination where I pointed out that some of these these divination methods that are condemned in Deuteronomy 18 are actually approved elsewhere of prophetic figures so the paper addresses why that is and has to do with who's the source of the information is it the true God or something else has some divine council implications in there so that's something I could put with this episode to post but there's actually a book if those of you who have access to the divine council bibliography there's a book a whole book on divination by Anne Jeffers je FF er s that I found somewhere but that the book is in PDF form and it's part of that that collection so you could you could go look that up quickly of course these aren't the only sources on on divination these kinds of terms but I like Jeffers book because it's it's she has really succinct discussions on all the terms that are associated in any way with these sorts of individuals seers prophets that sort of thing and also the terminology of divination it's really a nice nice word	Houseform Apologetics	UCHaRS8Y8r8_jUVkuEBKUW4Q	2018-06-04	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

ECBDgt5LsTE	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECBDgt5LsTE	Aggressive Inline: How To Zero Spin	[Music] what's up blade fam finally we've got some sunshine a little bit of breeze but most of all dry conditions so we are out here at goose Gossage skate park and today we are going to be learning how to do zero spin grinds before we get into that big shout out to the boys over at death squad blading for hooking up the whole fam with dad hats okay so before we actually get into sliding this I think something that's very important to understand and know how to perform properly is how to skate fakie or backwards if you haven't already check out my video I teach how to skate backwards inside of a hockey rink so that way you get the fundamentals down real quickly though what we're gonna practice is just getting into our shoulder so this gets a little complicated for people if you grind opposite from the direction you look for example if you look back over your right shoulder but you grind with your left foot this is going to be a little complex I'm lucky I skate right shoulder back and I grind right foot back so these zero spins come a little more naturally so real quick what we're gonna do is just practice getting into that fakie position it really helps to be on the counter side of the sway so again what we're going to do is we're going to lead with our right left give it and bring that foot down mirror this I can do it left shoulder to your left shoulder so instead of going off on the right foot you're gonna go left right pivot and you're in that position so before you actually go to approach an obstacle make sure you know how to do that maneuver and do that maneuver well learning both shoulders twice the points right so after you've mastered how to go into the fakie position properly you then want to line up with whatever drying you feel the most comfortable with when I first learned this I actually learned it doing a star grind so we'll start from there so when I perform this trick setting it up again I'll go from the right to the left pivot and now I'm lined up at that point my good friend Chris Williams said when learning zero spins get the idea out of your head that you're skating backwards and just perform the trick as if you were doing it forward granted you are grinding or riding backwards but in your mind you've already practiced this a hundred times or whatever doing it forwards so you've got your forward lock mastered now going into it fakie as soon as you're square with that obstacle see it get that lock it in and you're good this thing does not slide so that's another important thing make sure you wax your obstacle if you are skating or doing this trick on something you've never slid before because if you stick you're going to fall backwards and that could lead to injuries right left baekje so as you're approaching just remember it's it's in your head you're going backwards but look at it as if you were going forward once you lock make sure you keep that downward pressure and stay on the edge of the ledge when I was first learning this I tended to round my foot over which put me over the top of the deck or the ledge creating some shady stuff you know you end up Paulie so we've got the first point which is going to be the approach getting into that fakie shoulder then you're gonna carve at it just slightly remember I like to talk about and emphasize that arch you're gonna still visualize that arch jump with two feet land with two feet get that grind in there and then the out so it's really fun is you can do zero to rewind out or you can do zero to three out that way the options are up to your own creativity you know we've got the shifties you can come out landing one footed some crazy stuff so after you've mastered doing this trick on a lower obstacle it's pretty much the same thing on higher obstacles the only thing that changes is of course the height but you also want to give yourself the space to jump and land on top a lot of times when you're skating a higher obstacle it's kind of like a safety thing you just want to hug it and get really close to it but that shortens the the the space that you're allowed to get that maneuver in so it makes it actually really harder at least in my opinion some people are a little different my wife likes to carve really close to the box she's been doing it that way for years so it is different but as you're approaching remember get solid push down in your feet throw your hands over your obstacle get that walk-in stay strong write it out so what you want to do is just practice standing next to the ledge and getting into that grind position whatever grind you choose you know I've done all the soul basics or regulars so that's just a generalization as you get better or master this you can start doing zero topside zero or fakie boot grinds things of that nature as well so I'm going to go ahead and try a 0x grind real quick kind of my back to bleeding community challenge let's get at it okay guys so there you have the zero spin trick tutorial I didn't want to do any specific grind but a quick hack since you stayed all the way to the end is master zero Macchio first if you get zero Macchio first all the other regular grinds kind of build around that lock point so it helps knowing that again but zero Macchio is the harder one out of them because you're grinding one-footed so figure out what works for you have fun and enjoy the process big shout out to again death squad waiting for the hats and just supporting the Acosta blades family big shout out to all of our patrons thank you guys so much for your continual support if you haven't already like subscribe and give me a thumbs up if this got you doing a zero spin grind til next time keep the blade alive Aloha	Acosta Blades	UC9FH1mkHLFQuPPEPu9CfR1A	2020-03-06	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,099	5,708
fOtyk7j0jo8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOtyk7j0jo8	The Art of Fart by Joseph Pujol	The oldest joke on record dates back to 1900BC  and yes, it was a fart joke. It goes like this;   “Something which has never occurred since  time immemorial; a woman did not fart in   her husband's lap.” Don’t feel bad if you don’t  get it - trust me, your not the only one. Take   a ringside seat because in todays episode of  Unusual As Usual we’re going to look into the   life of a man that put the art into fart with  the story of Le Pétomane AKA Joseph Pujol. Joseph Pujol was born on the 1st of June 1857  in Marseilles, France. As a young child Pujol   was a quiet, shy boy, he seemed to almost blend  into the background. Some kids in his class were   good at maths, others were good at sports, but  Pujol didn’t really seem to excel in anything   in particular. However, that all changed when  he discovered he had the extraordinary ability.   The ability to seemingly fart on command  - a trick he began to take great pride in,   to his teachers dismay. He was able to bring an  entire class room to hysterics without as much   as having to utter a word, a very valuable  skill to have for a quiet, shy young boy. Later on in life, he got a job as a baker  in a local bakery. Here he would sometimes   entertain customers using his special ability,  imitating musical instruments and claiming to   be playing them from behind the counter - a  joke that was only sometimes well received,   other times his disgruntled customers  would storm out of the store. He made   his first official stage debut, aged 30,  in 1887 - and it was an instant classic. His stage name was 'Le Petomane’ a combination of  the French verb péter, meaning "to fart" with the   suffix “mane” meaning “maniac” creating  a literal translation of “fartomaniac”,   also known as a Flatulist or Fartiste. His stage  show involved him imitating musical instruments,   canon fire, and thunderstorms.  As the stage curtain rose,   Pujol would step out of the shadows dressed  in a fine red coat and black satin breeches,   a pair of white gloves held in his hands and  sporting his trademark handlebar moustache. The audience was completely unprepared for  what lay ahead, one of his favourite numbers;   a poem in rhyme about a stroll  through a farmyard, accompanied   by farting renditions of animals’ sounds. As the  uncontrollable laughter erupted from the crowd,   it quickly spread throughout the theatre. Soon men  and women both completely paralysed with laughter,   with tears streaming down their face. A number of  women reportedly passed out, unable to breathe in   their tightly bound corsets, and they had  to be escorted from the theatre by nurses. He developed his act locally for about five  years, then following his increasing success   he moved to Paris and in 1892 he began  performing at the infamous Moulin Rouge,   for the likes of Edward the Prince of Wales,  King Leopold II and father of psychoanalysis,   Sigmund Freud. His other stage antics  included him blowing out candles and   performing renditions of popular songs  - even the French National Anthem. Unfortunately his success here  was cut short because in 1894,   the managers of the Moulin Rouge fired Pujol then  proceeded to sue him for breach of contract after   an impromptu public performance he gave as a  fund raiser to help out one of his friends.   The Moulin Rouge won the case and Pujol had  to pay 3,000 francs, a measly sum compared   to his usual fee of 20,000 francs per show.  In hindsight, this was a disastrous move by   the managers of the Moulin Rouge as it led to  Pujol setting up his very own travelling show   which he called the Theatre Pompadour, and just  like that the Moulin Rouge lost their star act. Over the following decade Pujol refined his art  form adding comedy routines such as impressions   of famous people, his very own demonstration  of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake,   and smoking two cigarettes at once -  I'll leave that one to your imagination. With the outbreak of World War I, Pujol  retired from performing and returned to   his bakery in Marseilles. Leaving behind an  enduring legacy and inspiring countless books,   musicals, plays, songs and films. Joseph  Pujol died in 1945, aged 88, and was buried   in the cemetery of La Valette-du-Var, France.  When a medical school in Paris requested the   privilege of examining the late Le Pétomane’s  famous internal organs, the family declined,   stating: “there are some things in this life  which simply must be treated with reverence.” Contrary to popular belief Pujol was not  actually the first performing Flatulist,   Intentional passing of gas and its use as  entertainment for others appear to have   been somewhat well documented. In 'The City  of God', written about halfway through the   first century A.D., Saint Augustine mentions some  performers who possessed “such command of their   bowels, that they can break wind continuously at  will, so as to produce the effect of singing.” As other examples, medieval Ireland had  professional farters called “braigetori,” and   the Japanese Kamakura period had professional  performers of fart dances. It's also reported   that even England's King Henry II hired a  court jester called 'Roland the Farter’ to   perform for the kings court every Christmas  - his payment was 30 Acres of land and the   Hemingstone manor in Suffolk. That been said,  it's clear that Pujol had the most success. He left a legacy that spanned decades,  and has become almost folklore over time,   a made up character so unusual he couldn't  have possibly been real. Multiple musicals have   been written based on his life, such as 'The  Fartiste’ and 'A Passing Wind’. In addition,   Pujol was even written in to David Lee's  2007 rework of the 1953 Broadway play   'Can-Can’. He's also been portrayed in several  films, such as the 1979 film 'Le Petomine',   the 1983 Italian movie ‘il Petomoine’, and his  character also briefly appears as one of the   performers in Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 blockbuster,  Moulin Rouge!. He was also referenced in Mel   Brooks' Blazing Saddles, and the 1984 film  ‘Up The Creek’ he serves as he namesake of   La Petomine University. Not bad for an 88 year  old baker that’s been dead for over 75 years. And there we have it, the story of Le Petomane -  Joseph Pujol. Were you blown away? Do you think   fart jokes are as funny as Sigmund Freud did? Let  me know in the comment section below and as always   don’t forget to Like and Subscribe.

TuIsfa5fhZA	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuIsfa5fhZA	Water Quality - pH	so you're going to go to the water quality parameters quest when you start that quest it tells you you don't know yet what a parameter is what the word parameter means you've got a link here to Google classroom and the assignment with the graphic organizer to take notes is water quality research notes it says it right here now if you click here where it says use the following websites that is where you're going to find links to some amazing websites that will tell you exactly what you need to know so you're going to click on this link and here's pH right here so we click on the first link and I'm going to left click or right click I should say and open link in a new tab that way I've got a tab open with my links and another tab open with the new website I just went to so this is environmental or fundamentals of environmental measurements and it's got information about the pH of water now this paragraph right here the very first one is really complicated so I want to break it down for you and help you understand it the first thing you need to realize about pH is that it starts with water and we know that one molecule of water the smallest particle of water or piece of water is h2o h2o means that one little tiny piece of water or molecule of water is made up of two hydrogen's one oxygen now one thing that happens in water is that those two hydrogen's and that one oxygen can to split up a little bit one of the hydrogen's stays bonded really closely to the oxygen while the other hydrogen kind of hangs out on its own because they're trying to split apart the hydrogen has a positive charge and this Oh H hydroxide has a negative charge but we know that positives and negatives attract so they stay together as one water molecule now if something tends to put in more hydrogen's into the solution like in the ocean with ocean acidification more of these makes the water acidic more positive hydrogen makes the water acidic and if you think of what I'm saying positive hydrogen pH one meaning of pH is positive hydrogen now if there's more negative hydroxide the water is basic or alkaline this image here on the website which is what they're referring to when they say that pH of water is measured on a logarithmic scale or we can explain what that means so pH is not like dissolved oxygen dissolved oxygen there are actual pieces of oxygen in between these h2o water molecules for pH there's nothing you can pull out or for the sensor to count it just determines either how strongly acidic it is or how strongly basic and and the scale goes from zero to 14 where zero is a very strong acid and 14 is a very strong base now if you have an equal number of positive hydrogen's and an equal number of negative hydroxides you've got pure h2o and that has a value of 7 so 7 right here which is called neutral is pure water so seven neutral meaning it's not acidic not basic that's plain pure why now when you go down this way into six five four three that's becoming more and more acidic meaning it has more positive hydrogen the reason this is called the logarithmic scales because it tells you how much stronger each number is so if I go from seven to six a liquid with a pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than water if I go from a six to a five the 5 is 10 times more acidic than the 6 so if I'm going from seven to five if I'm going to compare them this is 10 times 10 so going from 7 to 5 a ph liquid of 5 is a hundred times more a sick than one of seven than pure water and it just keeps going so if I'm going to go from six to three I've got 10 times 10 times 10 a three is a thousand times more acidic than a six and it works the same way going towards basic if I'm going from seven to eight eight is 10 times more basic than a liquid of pH seven and a nine is ten times more basic than a liquid with a pH of 8 and if I go from seven let's see let's go from 7 to 10 that's 10 times 10 times 10 a pH 10 is a thousand times more acidic than water whereas a pH 11 is a thousand times more acidic than a pH 8 and 8 is around the pH that our oceans should be saltwater ocean tend to be a little more basic freshwater like rivers streams and lakes tend to be a little more acidic now here's something else that's really cool if you've got a strong acid with a bunch of extra positive hydrogen and a base with a bunch of extra negative hydroxides and they combine you end up with h2o that's what they mean when they say they neutralize each other so the three which is just as strong an acid as an 11 is as strong a base if you put a three liquid pH 3 and you combine it with a pH 11 they neutralize each other they cancel each other out and that's an important thing to know too that's how this works every time you go over one these two are equal over one these two are equal in terms of strength they can cancel each other out so this is a good thing to understand about pH so that's going to help you make sense of this paragraph right here which if you just read it by itself you're going to be like I don't get it this is a too hard now I did say pH could stand for positive hydrogen another way I've seen it described is power of hydrogen and this part forget the word of molar concentration what you're looking at is the pH is determined by the number of hydrogen ions and that's the positive and then the next part is a pretty advanced math trigonometry I believe and they call here the Oh H negative hydroxyl ions I called them hydroxide the same thing seven is pure water so this is telling this paragraph is telling you what hopefully I try to explain just now okay so scrolling down this next paragraph here here's what I was showing you about how h2o can be separated into positive hydrogen negative hydroxyl or hydroxide this we can skip this weekend skip well let me see here alkalinity and pH are directly related at a hundred percent yes get that okay now we get to the part of why is pH important and and this is a good section for you to read to if the pH of water is too high or too low the aquatic organisms living within it will die pH can also affect the solubility and toxicity of chemicals and heavy metals in water so if you add those pollutants things that pollute water into a water that's already got a high pH or low pH it's even worse so this chart here tells you the pH that these animals live comfortably in and can thrive and survive so fish is about 6.5 pH of 6.5 all the way - it looks like about almost 9 or 9 that is within their range they can survive that we've got plants can be at very alkaline water and crabs snails and mussels can be in very alkaline water too remember it's acid that will break down the calcium carbonate the carbonate of their shells that will dissolve it but basic won't fish die of course within a range of it looks like 11 to 14 if we go this way so here's humans can withstand that range seawater you can notice here it's between about it's in the 8 to 9 range this tells you the pH of blood and then this pH of streams can actually be a little basic and then go into a little bit acidic looks like from 6.5 to about 7.5 so it's got a range and our Creek if you look at our data should fall within that range precipitation rain can be from 5 to 6 acid rain though we could have really bad acid rain that has as low hs1 and up to five and then fish died anywhere from three to zero so you've got this is a handy chart for you to either reproduce on your poster to share at the Youth Summit and it says here when the pH level gets beyond what they can survive in it can stress animal systems reduce hatching and survival rates so even if it doesn't kill the fish it'll make it so they their eggs don't hatch or they won't survive even to the point of laying the eggs and that will impact returning fish because there won't be many to return the more sensitive a species the more affected by changes in pH so Hardy or species will withstand more pH change now it says while humans have a higher tolerance for pH levels drinkable levels range from four to eleven with minimal gastrointestinal irritation there are still concerns pH values of great greater than 11 for us can cause skin and eye irritation so this part tells you how it affects humans as a pH below for a pH value below two point five will cause irreversible damage to skin and organ linings lower ph levels increase the risk of mobilized toxic metals that can be absorbed even by humans and levels above 8.0 cannot be effectively disinfected with chlorine causing other indirect risks in addition pH levels outside of six point five to nine point five can damage and corrode pipes not just us but our pipes where we get our drinking water and other systems which can put heavy metal into our drinking water or maybe even our food so this you can read to now here are things that influence the pH and water for those of you who studied ocean acidification you're going to know this one carbon dioxide will lower the pH making it more acidic and it's got the chemical formula here so carbon dioxide plus water will make carbonic acid and that will split up into a bicarbonate and then freeing up more hydrogen ions into the water which is what makes it more acidic and this has a nice picture for you so you can see the rising acidity this total changes in annual oceanic pH from 1700s to the 1990s of carbonic carbonate materials in limestone or two elements that can buffer pH changes so they keep it from changing to too much and yes calcium carbonate and other bicarbonate can combine with both hydrogen or hydroxyl ions to neutralize pH which is good so that's a good one to read so unpolluted rain is slightly acidic pH of five point six the pH of rain can also be lower due to volcanic ash sulfate-reducing bacteria in wetlands airborne particulates from wildfires and lightning so this can increase the acidity and that's that'll make more acid rain other influences that are made by humans and throw to genic is a word that means caused by humans usually related to pollution pollution is how we affect the ph of water and [Music] acid rain is a form of precipitation with pH less than five point zero and it comes with the reaction so acid rain can be caused by stir with nitrogen oxides sulfur oxides and other acidic compounds including carbon dioxide and it comes from smelting operations mining or fossil fuel combustion burning of fossil fuels as we learn from the all the climate change videos we saw and then here you have minimum pH levels for different types of fish and and other animals like the Frog so this is a good one to read when you scroll down to typical pH levels and this part here is good because you can read about plants and soil pH because all this comes into play with our creeks it's got plants on the riparian zone right on the edges of the creeks and then there's the the bottom of the Creek where the gravel the rocks and the sand and soil now it says here freshwater lakes ponds and streams usually have a pH of 6 to 8 depending on the surrounding soil and bedrock and then luckily our Creek doesn't have this because harmful effects become noticeable when the pH of water falls below 5 or rise above 9.6 so hopefully this will give you some information perspective so let's check out so let's check out the next pH website see what it has so this one get that one so looking at the next website this one is a good one to read if you want more information about our carbon dioxide lowers the pH of water this one for how pH meters work this one can tell you how our sensor actually was able to tell the pH of our creek water and it goes into what is acidity and this is a good review so it's got a positively charged hydrogen ions make it acidic negatively charged hydroxide ions make it alkaline or basic so this is good another way if you find the other one too confusing greet this one this one I like it it's more regular English so to speak and then here you get into what pH actually means and here we go to power of hydrogen I already mentioned positive hydrogen and here's another one potential of hydrogen so there isn't one meaning of pH so that's that's a good one I highly recommend reading through that one then this one called the power of hydrogen I had to put on there because that way you could see right away what pH stand for this one gets into acids bases and salt what is the salt and what does the salt have to do with all this pH stuff this one will give you some information about that and I thought it was a good website in case you want to learn more you can take this learning as far as you want or I should say go as deeply into understanding pH as you can this has a great chart for things that most people know and tells you what pH they are you can see milk of magnesia is in the range of about 10 so it neutralizes the acids in your stomach to make you feel better vinegar has a pH of about three which should help you put a fish in vinegar we're going to die but this chart is one you can either draw yourself on your poster or you can use this one on your poster it's a good one pH values of water so this is another one that gives you pH values of things we normally drink or eat so people can understand and this is a good thing to share at the Youth Summit so the kids you're talking to can understand oh that's what a pH of 4 is milk has a pH of 6.2 oh I thought it would have been more basic but it's a little bit acidic while bleach has a pH of 12 don't drink that and then why pH is important I like to point this one out because it has more examples of what pH levels affect fish in what ways so this is oh look mosquito larvae are destroyed at a ph value of maximum one and there is no minimum that's good because the benthic macroinvertebrates reno are very important for the salmon and they tell us if the stream is polluted so that's a good one for you to have and then the last one is water properties pH this one is a USGS site that has another diagram of pH now USGS is public domain so you can just take this picture and this one you can put on your website and just give them credits that you got it from there and that's it this should give you everything you need to fully understand pH and and

Auto Expert The Homework Guy Kevin Hunter	dealer finance 101 today we're sharing critical points you must know about dealer finance before you ever agree to a car loan at a car dealership hi i'm kevin hunter also known as the homer guy and author of is that the best you can do you have arrived at the home of super high intensity training for car buyers every viewer on the homer guy channel has come to rely on our team for spot on content for car buyers today's video is no exception in fact this video is so good you should probably be sharing it across the entire planet today is dealer finance 101 and details about car loans at car dealers that you likely never knew until now elizabeth joins me today to share our top 10 tips for dealer finance 101 elizabeth take it away all right number one let's start with cash buyers many of you have seen our video on why you shouldn't say i'm paying cash when you walk into a car dealership the reason is simple the the finance office literally can't stand cash buyers right and any honest finance manager will tell you that's 100 true the industry term in the finance office is known as product penetration in car buyer terms it's how much product they can succeed in packing into your car deal when you're a cash buyer you hurt their product penetration every single time and the entire sales process is designed to stack the deck against you the moment you confess that you are a cash buyer don't forget that so watch our very popular video on cash buyers if you want more info on that number two never believe any finance manager who tells you that a low interest rate is available but only if you buy products they want you to have no no no no that is a bold face lie this claim violates compliance and agreements the dealer has with the lenders they use lies like this is one of the reasons your car contract could actually be canceled so it's extremely important that you document this stuff i recommend having an audio recorder with you like in your purse or in the shirt pocket and ask them to put those kinds of statements in writing when they make them they won't but that's when you know you're sitting across the desk from a crook number three never allow the finance manager to hold your car contract and direct your eyes to specific portions of it you hold it yes you hold it yep take your time reading through it the reason the finance manager wants to hold it is he wants you to overlook critical things on the contract which are designed to fleece you number four ask questions about everything ask about arbitration contracts and things that could nullify your car contract this will make the finance manager extremely uncomfortable but that's fine you're there to protect yourself so do it number five never go into the finance office without a written and signed proposal from the sales floor from your salesman it's the only proof of the agreement you made there like the price of the car you're buying and the amount that you're getting for your trade-in if you're trading your car exactly number six document fees doc fees or anything with a name close to it it's total bs yes you can follow our advice and offer a few bucks for it like 75 dollars i do that elizabeth does that but don't pay any ridiculously high document fees it's different in every state so if you have questions about doc fees look it up find out what the lowest and highest are that they're allowed to charge in your state but see our video on 11 fake fees for several other fees you're likely encountering a good one finance number seven you do not have to buy any add-ons the dealer will put on your car to inflate the car price a new car so those add-ons should show up as an addendum to the window sticker you can ask to have them removed exactly and if the dealer tries to give you a hard time ask for the number for the manufacturer talking to the regional rep for the manufacturer can actually be very productive tell them the dealer is trying to take more money from you for stuff that you don't want and complain about the dishonesty you'll see the dealer suddenly get rid of that stuff real quick very fast any dealer who states every car gets it so you have to take it or it's a factory add-on we can't control that it's telling you nothing but a lie and you don't have to pay for it a big fat lie number eight you must talk to your own bank or credit union first if you're planning on financing your car dealers are famous for bumping rates on car buyers who don't do their homework on average dealerships make 600 to 800 bucks just marking up the rate on a really clueless buyer they can make 1100 to 1500 on what is known as bank reserve that's a high price for stupid actually yes it is it's easy to understand the dealer banks send an offer of let's say 2.9 percent which is the buy rate that you qualify for however the dealer finance man can mark it up as much as three points turning it into 5.9 percent which becomes the sell rate when you don't know better you're getting slammed on interest rates by comparison incentivize rates like zero percent or super low manufacture rates are often protected rates and the dealer gets a small flat fee of 150 bucks that's much better than padding the dealer's pocket with a fifteen hundred dollar interest rate bump number nine if you do use dealer financing ask to see the buy rate the approval sheet from the bank exactly however many of these banks have a customer view option and if so the finance manager will select that before you they let you see the screen if you want to know this information and if it's accurate or not tell them you'd like to talk to the banker before the loan is done that will make them so they will not like you talking to their banker number 10 extended warranties service plans etc if you are offered these products the price you are quoted is already marked up a thousand to two thousand dollars if you ask to see the cost the finance manager will be showing you an already inflated number and then claim they have to mark that number up a few hundred dollars you know just to make a few bucks just well that is a lie you have to do your own homework if you want this stuff make sure you see our video on 10 products you can expect to be offered in dealer finance no matter what the finance manager says you don't have to buy any of this stuff in fact cramming product down your throat is illegal when a finance manager does this to you there's no faster way to get a contract nullified and they know it all you have to do is call the bank and tell them the finance manager failed to disclose this stuff to you and they're in deep doo-doo that's our top 10 for dealer finance 101 tips so be aware of the fact that totally honest financial officers are out there in the dealerships and they exist but there's just very few of them we get comments and feedback from these good guys and it's quite stunning how much they're willing to share with us so check out this comment by a long time finance officer on our cash video as kevin told him this was the all-time best comment by a viewer all-time best comment yes and he validates everything that we're sharing today so unfortunately the honest ones often quit or they get fired so you're likely to get someone who absolutely will not have your best interest in mind so no matter how many times they say i just want to make sure you protect your investments i want to make sure you protect your investment yes one last thing with every car contract there's also a buyer's order also asked to see the buyer's order and compare it to the car contract banks require a buyer's order so they'll always be one don't let them deny this the disclosure of all the numbers is much more clear than your car contract and problems are easier to catch so you definitely want to look at it you must know what you're signing for finance managers don't really want you knowing what you're signing for which is why they go so fast through everything and they point to things like elizabeth mentioned that they want you to look at they want you to think they're trying to be considerate of your time and being thorough while instead they're actually hiding stuff from you well if you appreciate the video today on dealer finance consider giving us that great big thumbs up

MHh-j-1-zcM	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHh-j-1-zcM	How Richard Stallman and I failed to protect the web from the man who invented it - CubaConf 2017	so yeah thank you for voting for this session and for coming to it so my name is Zack Roga like I said I'm from the United States and until until July of this year I I was the campaigns manager at the Free Software Foundation also by the way I speak some Spanish so if there's something you don't understand raise your hand and I'll try to translate so I'm gonna talk about this struggle that I worked on to try to keep digital rights management out of web standards and I'll talk about what that means and why it's important for privacy and freedom and security online and then I'll also talk about how we lost and what that might mean going forward and then if anybody else wants to share issues that they're concerned about about the future of the free web about the future of privacy and security on the web I would love to hear about that and sort of combine my thoughts and your thoughts and see if we can think about better ways to do this type of activism in the future and so this is gonna be pretty oh this will be pretty informal so feel free to raise your hand if you want to ask a question or say something let me just plug in my computer does anybody have a marker for the board marker oh yeah thank you okay so so for some sort of basic information for the background of this the w3c stands for the World Wide Web Consortium and that's though organization which was started by this guy Tim berners-lee who looks like this so this photo is from the early 90s when he invented the world wide web as we know it right it's not quite the same as the Internet the internet was already existing some the world wide web is what you see in your browser if you already know this sorry I just want to make sure everybody's on the same page so when he invented it he chose to make the standards public and to not require any royalties which was a pretty big deal at the time it was unusual everybody knew there was a lot of money to be made in the internet business and most people wanted to control the stuff that they created and so in general so so he started this organization the World Wide Web Consortium or the w3c I'll write the acronym out here too so the w3c and the goal of it was to coordinate the development of standards for everybody to be able to use the web and in general this organization has been a really positive force for the world if it didn't exist we wouldn't have had the explosion of wonderful stuff on the web that we've had in the last since since I was born in the last like 28 years and the problem with the w3c was always that uh companies sometimes wanted to influence it and sometimes that's good because some of the companies are providing wonderful things but sometimes it's bad so fast forward to 2013 which is around when this photo was taken and there start to be some conflict within the w3c and so this photo is taken at the w3c this is Richard Stallman who used to be my boss at the Free Software Foundation and he's a long time champion for users rights there are many criticisms of the way he works some people say he's too extreme some people say he doesn't compromise enough I think that may be true but the important thing is that he fights really hard for important stuff he really cares about privacy and he sort of he invented the term free software a long time ago so he really is focused on liberating us from the idea of intellectual property in a bad way and this is a hairy Halpin who worked at the w3c at the time and so Harry and Richard are here together protesting stop DRM at the w3c so DRM is the rare it's in red it's the point of conflict and so this stands for digital rights management but uh Richard Stallman like won't use this and he said he says restrictions so it's digital restrictions management and it's kind of clever and so what is it right there's many types of DRM but basically the definition is its proprietary software that has the goal of preventing you from doing something on your own computer so the reason that it exists primarily is because the media industry right doesn't want you to be able to copy stuff this became well-known during the whole debate over Napster and file-sharing in the early 2000s and what we believe what Richard Stone believes what I believe is that this is just wrong because even if somebody doesn't want you to copy something it doesn't give them the right to mess with your computer and if you if you think about why it's it's not just an issue of like oh I have a right to my own computer because it's my computer because I bought it it's also that DRM is inherently insecure because it has to be a black box to work properly so for example the DRM that we're dealing with in this fight is DRM on videos so Netflix and YouTube for example all videos on Netflix many videos on YouTube carry this DRM and it means to play the video you have to download a package on your computer that your browser will download or it'll be in your operating system already and this is a its proprietary software that is designed so that it's hard to understand it it's hard to evaluate whether or not it's secure and it often is not secure because if it were easy to understand it would make it easier for people to crack it and that would make it easy to get the data out which would make it easy to copy and Netflix doesn't want that so so you where to go next so basically DRM has existed for a while people who care about free software we've always disliked it it's because of the freedom issue that it controls your computer the privacy issue like I mentioned but there's also many other issues it's not very good for culture because it makes it hard to remix because it makes it hard to remove specific audio track or video track and change it somehow and it's also bad for people with disabilities because it also makes it hard to add back in something so if you want to add subtitles to something or you want to change the colors to make it easier for someone who's colorblind or you want to modify some piece of media in any way DRM makes it hard to do because the the file is locked up inside the DRM and then there's more bad stuff about it which I think maybe I'll come back to later but the important thing about it is that in addition to that in the United States and many countries there are these ridiculous laws that are called anti-circumvention laws I don't think they exist in Cuba which is cool and basically they make it illegal to try to break open the DRM so if you if you are a person and I worked with somebody like this a person who's blind and they want to be able to access a file and analyze it somehow so that they can write descriptive captions and you want to you need to be able to separate out the audio and the video and you and you do that and you break the DRM with some technical tool if you can hack it that's illegal and you could be sued for that even if all you're trying to do is make it easier for blind people to access a video so the part where the the the conflict comes in is at the w3c Netflix and Google and Apple and Microsoft you know organizations with a lot of money went to the w3c in start they started doing this in around 2011-2012 and they said guys like the web is great we love that we're able to distribute our videos through it but the problem is DRM is too expensive and complicated for us because we're using flash that people remember flash right like everybody hates flash like users hate it the the only people who like it are the people can make money off of it and so what they wanted to do was take HTML right like this language that the web is written in and add in a new feature specifically for DRM and the idea was okay well if we can add this in to HTML then that we won't have to use flash anymore and it'll be easier for us the thing is that HTML was always like I said Tim berners-lee in the beginning he designed the web to be to be open and to be easy for anyone to use and so HTML has always been a totally open standard everything is public if you want to change the standard then you go through this wonderful process where many different people have a chance to comment on it and it tries to prioritize when they when they set these standards they try to prioritize not just usability or profitability for the companies who use it but they also try to prioritize it being transparent and free and sort of almost a little bit democratic because they try to get opinions from as many places as possible and then they want when they add something to the standard like for example adding like what's a good example a new tag to make it easier to write web pages then the goal is that afterwards the web is better for everyone and they've been doing this for years like I said since the early 90s and people like the organization but this was the first time it happened in around 2012-2013 that Netflix and those other organizations came and they said we want to add a standard specifically for DRM we're going to add it we're really like big companies who own a lot of intellectual property are really that's who it's for it's it's for us to do that and it's gonna allow us to more easily put DRM on people's computers and more easily have them watch videos with DRM and so immediately these two people especially but others were like wait a minute I thought that the point of the w3c and the point of Tim berners-lee's work and the point of HTML and the point of the World Wide Web was that it was for everyone and it was supposed to be open and why would we add something that was specifically just for restricting you from doing things with videos that was bad for people with disabilities that was bad for security even bad for competition in some markets and so we started trying to raise awareness about this and we thought that if we just explained to Tim berners-lee why this was bad that he would understand because you know he cares about freedom and he cares about openness and that's why we made this um so we tried this and we thought like okay Tim berners-lee will see this and that this and he'll say oh you know you're right so Tim bull this is his old hacker name that he used when he invented the web so this is like an a picture of him from back when he was younger so it's like what would timbal do like why did you abandon your ideals like wouldn't don't you want the web to be open still don't add DRM to it and so we tried this argument and the you know Richard Stallman and Harry went to the w3c and surprisingly Tim berners-lee didn't really feel the same way about it he feels like Netflix is important to the web and Netflix wants this this DRM standard added to the web and so we should probably do it because Netflix told him if you don't do this we just won't use the web anymore they're just like people will take net off the web and will for if you want to watch Netflix you'll need to download a Netflix application on your computer or your phone or whatever instead of using a browser and that scared Tim berners-lee because he wants people to use the web and so we kept trying to explain to him that people care more about it we hope people care more about and we care more about openness and freedom and security and accessibility for people with disabilities but that line of argument didn't really work and I mean I think it's because yeah he he cares more about satisfying netflix and I can't promise that he's wrong that no that's not the right way to say it I do think he's wrong I do think he's wrong that if if the if he had said no and we had one that Netflix would still use the web right whenever whenever people threaten these big companies with not getting what they want the companies make claims like this they say like if you don't if you don't make this easier for me and you don't make this cheaper for us then we'll leave and it'll ruin everything and well if Netflix def using the web at least Tim berners-lee would care because he maintains the web or like he yeah yeah but so right exactly so that's one thing is like I don't necessarily there's a bunch of different arguments about that I could come back to in more detail but like there is there is also like a concern about beyond Netflix about like it like fruit it's not just Netflix right because like you can link to a YouTube video even if it has DRM on it if YouTube did the same thing you might not be able to link to it and being able to link to things on the web is really important it's like what makes it rich so in the long term we might even be bothered by that but it doesn't even matter because they they wouldn't stop using to laugh I really don't think they would do that they if you go back in history there are so many examples where these companies say you know like for example like with the climate change right like the the oil companies say if you regulate us so that we don't destroy the atmosphere then like it'll break the entire economy and no one will have jobs and it's you know why they're just gonna say that regardless of whether it's true so basically yeah so 2013 this happens people are starting to get concerned because they thought that w3c was the good guy we tried to convince Tim berners-lee he wasn't really willing to listen instead he listened to Netflix and Microsoft and Google and Apple and so we tried other things we tried a this is a small photo but we tried this calling campaign this was a joke sorry that it's grainy but dial-up to save the web from DRM like a joke on like dial-up internet from the early days and we hundreds of people called him called Tim berners-lee on his on his phone number at the w3c that's his like office phone but it's like his personal office phone only like a small number of people actually had a conversation with him because after the first like five or six he stopped answering it but yeah it says tell the web's inventor don't risk our security and rights and so yeah people from all over the world and people also called other w3c offices because because again the w3c is a good organization and they have offices all over the world so that people can express concerns and so yeah hundreds of people called him and people also see if I can find more out more of these photos people also took these selfies and different photos in places like in front of the w3c these are like some people in Boston and we got like hundreds of these and if I had an internet connection I would show you more there's like one with a cat there's like one where a guy is playing a trombone but basically just like trying to be creative to get Tim berners-lee's attention but also just to like make the rest of the world notice because we're starting to get scared around like 2015 that like we can't win this this is just going to be the web is going to have this embedded in it and there's gonna be more DRM and it's gonna be bad for privacy and accessibility and freedom and so we tried like everything we could think of and we also built a coalition so the Electronic Frontier Foundation joined the coalition that's like a wonderful well resource organization and they actually joined the w3c so the same way that like net Netflix has like an official membership in the w3c that lets them influence the standards and so the the Electronic Frontier Foundation joined the w3c and they sent Cory Doctorow who's a very accomplished activist to the w3c to try to explain why this was a bad idea but like I said like the this this argument like all these arguments about privacy and accessibility and also this it wasn't really enough to convince them not to do it they felt like okay well we'll build in a couple checks sort of to make it safer somehow or to make it more accessible but when we told them that fundamentally it's never going to be secure and free if it's not an open transparent standard that's designed for open transparent communication they're like you can't really get around that it's gonna make it less good so we kept trying stuff and the Electronic Frontier Foundation went there still didn't work so we tried having an actual protest at the w3c actually let me show you some more photos first so here's the another this guy is in Prague I think he took this photo and sent it in [Music] yeah this woman is in Paris so yeah we had hundreds of these in addition to the phone calls this guy is also in Paris let me just open up all of these sorry this is janky hmm oh here we go this is great way to do it so we tried after sending all those things and it didn't really work we tried having an in-person protest so this was like right in front of the w3c office in Boston or in Cambridge sorry Cambridge Massachusetts at MIT at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology like that isn't even everybody it wasn't a huge protest because it's hard to explain this to people but we had like 80 people and there was some media there it got in the news and we just wanted to show that like we saw that the arguments we were making weren't working and so we wanted to show that people actually care about this and we showed up with signs and stuff you know like this says w3c don't sell out this is like stop DRM there's like people and anonymous masks and that we thought that maybe that would that would affect them and they did notice they kind of got the w3c like Tim berners-lee and other people got sort of uncomfortable when they started writing writing blog posts saying like you don't understand we're just trying to do this to make the web better we have everyone's best interest in mind it won't be that bad and we're like okay like this that's not really how this goes down like if you add the DRM to the web you're not gonna be able to get around the accessibility problems there's gonna be security problems like I already explained to you guys and so this was like this was honestly like the biggest like salvo we fired because this has never happened before like nobody has ever done a protest in person at the w3c and no one's ever gonna protest in person about like a technical standard like this so they did notice but it wasn't enough to convince them and then we see so yeah so at this point we sort of staff and we were like we need to explain better why this is bad because it's really hard to like an in activism right you want an idea that's simple and that people remember and share with each other like you know we need health care for everyone is a good example right like that's like an idea that's easy to understand and people hear it and they feel excited and they share it with the person next to them but if you say Netflix and Google and Apple and Microsoft are going to the World Wide Web Consortium to try to put digital rights management into hypertext markup language and richard stallman you know it's just like what are you even talking about and so we tried to sort of like stop and clean up the argument to make it easier to understand and that's when we noticed that we need to like really focus more on exactly how it's going to affect people rather than vague ideas like the open web because a lot of like technologists like the open web but but most people are like what does that mean so so one thing that we tried to nail down is what exactly will go wrong how do we explain very clearly what's going to be different after this becomes a web standard if we lose and so we wrote we put together this white paper which we used as a basis for some of our messaging we wrote a bunch of articles about it cory doctorow at the Electronic Frontier Foundation wrote articles about it and other people did too and basically what we're saying is if the w3c officially makes DRM part of the web it's gonna make there be more DRM that's why these companies want it to be added to the web because it'll be cheaper for them if they can do it this way instead of using these janky old things like flash and so it's gonna make it's gonna cause more DRM on the web which is gonna be bad for like I said privacy accessibility freedom but also it's gonna be a huge political loss for all the other struggles against DRM so I mentioned before like anti-circumvention so we were trying to we tried to really like explain why these were gonna the the bad effects of these would get worse when w3c standardizes DRM and what is an anti Sur conventional law like I said earlier it makes it illegal to do anything to affect DRM to modify it to talk about how to break it to talk about how it works it makes it illegal in some cases even to find security problems with DRM and talk about them which is really bad because as we know like for software to be secure it has to be inspected it has to be attacked from different angles by white hat hackers you have to figure out where the problems are so the problems can get fixed so we said if if the w3c which is a influential organization officially standardizes this it's gonna make it a lot harder for us to say po it politically it's gonna make it a lot harder for us to end anti-circumvention laws which we're trying to do because when we go to say the US government or the Europe European governments or many other governments all over the world that have these laws that make it illegal to try to circumvent DRM when we go to them they're gonna say well the w3c said it was ok you guys lost like people don't take you seriously so we tried to make that argument along with the specific argument that when it's standardized the DRM will be much more prevalent we'll have more of it and mmm unfortunately yeah that didn't work either more and more people became aware of it and then there was this one like good idea that that the Electronic Frontier Foundation tried which I was excited about we're like like I said I was kind of noticing I don't think this is gonna work I think we're probably gonna lose and then the Electronic Frontier Foundation came up with this clever compromise that they brought to the w3c that was basically like okay add DRM to web standards but you have to promise the companies like Netflix Apple Google etc have to promise not to sue anyone or bring legal action against anyone who breaks the DRM for a legitimate purpose which would be like security research to figure out how the DRM is exposing users to vulnerabilities or accessibility like I talked about captioning or adding adding a voiceover so the idea would be like okay companies we know that you want this DRM to be easy to use so we'll let you put it in but you have to promise not to do like the worse things with it it's okay if you want to use it to prevent copying we wish you wouldn't do that but we know that it's important to you just like don't attack people legally for doing security research using these anti-circumvention laws or attack people for trying to make videos accessible to people with disabilities and that was a tricky thing because I knew that at the free software foundation I knew we weren't winning but also we didn't really want to compromise that's like I said before like I mentioned Richard Stallman like the attitude we're very I'm not there anymore but they are very committed to their ideals and they really want to see a free world for software and they don't want to compromise so we didn't really like support that compromise idea but personally I was very supportive of it because I thought maybe it could actually win and I didn't think we were gonna win go forward a while and then compromise was not successful they voted inside the w3c so the w3c has like there's Tim berners-lee he runs it there he sort of he's like the he's like the president kind of and then there's like all these different companies and some nonprofits in there and they voted and it was kind of close like there were a bunch of organizations that wanted this idea that of this compromise but it was not enough organizations and people and so it was like well that's not going to work so we went on to the next phase and basically starting to get increasingly desperate so we tried we sort of we sort of tried making fun of Tim berners-lee I know this didn't work either but I was uncomfortable with this but it it was good that we tried it so this is like a a joke this wasn't my idea but I did make this stupid looking graphic the at MIT there's the MIT Media Lab right that's like a famous lab at MIT and they were giving out this thing called the disobedience award that was supposed to be like for people and this is in late 2016 early 2017 I don't remember exactly it's called the disobedience award that they were giving out that was supposed to be like you're an edgy person who's like breaking the rules in technology and you're making the world better and so we gave Tim berners-lee a obedience award to be like you're just listening to these companies and being obedient to them even though all the other people who share your values think this is a terrible idea yeah but honestly so it says obedience I don't know if you can read it it says okay obedience award obedience award granted to Tim berners-lee for his compliance with wealthy corporations efforts to add DRM to web standards people on the internet thought this was really funny if people on reddit liked it a lot but I think honestly at this point Tim berners-lee had just been like he already decided to ignore everything that was about this because he was like I made up my mind like I support the companies making this a web standard these free software people are gonna complain no matter what I do so this didn't work but it was funny and then in mmm there were more protests there was a protest in Portugal at a w3c meeting there was another one I can't read where it was doesn't matter there are protests in other places too there was another one in Cambridge at the w3c so basically like we kept trying even though we knew we were probably going to lose because we thought that it was important to get people to that's the picture of me that's awkward because we thought that peep we thought that at least this way people would know what was going on with it and then this is a good photo this is from the approach going chronologically backwards but just a good photo um but this guy was having such a good time um and then in in August like we lost of this year so it had been three or four years we've been going at this and they added it it's now an official part of the web okay so we people wrote a lot of blog posts saying like this is really bad we lost it's sad because like Tim berners-lee sold out the w3c sold out but the task now is like remind everybody what we said was going to happen if we lost and try to prevent it try your friend the bad things and also see if like the best case is we are wrong and it's not that big of a deal you know so now I've been talking to a quarry doctor about it and other people on the internet and it's like we're trying to figure out how to watch for the bad effects because the negative effects of a standard like this are a little bit hard to measure because it's kind of like a diffuse interest it's a diffuse infrastructural thing so it's like in various different ways this is sort of hard to think about and talk about so now what I'm doing is sort of watching to try to see the the first thing is we should probably see more DRM on the web over the next few years because it's now cheaper and simpler because there's a standardized way of doing it and then the other thing is will we see like I mentioned the political precedent that's set by this will we see companies making arguments in other debates about DRM saying well the w3c said DRM was okay and I have not seen that yet but it's also only been like three months so we'll be looking out for that and we'll just have to try to fight them when it happens there are other promising avenues for fighting DRM and hopefully I'll be you know two years from now I'll be able to look back and write an article about it and say we were wrong it was fine nothing bad happens but I do think there's gonna be more DRM I think that it's gonna lead to more security problems for people and it's gonna keep making security research harder it's gonna keep making it harder for people with disabilities to access media and this will be used as a precedent to argue for companies getting more control over the Internet in general so that's the end of the story and let's see it's uh noon right now I think I'm supposed to go to like 12:15 so I think maybe I'll just like talk for like a couple minutes about the the reflections on the strategy that we use to try to win this that we failed and then and then pause for questions and people to share any other digital rights specifically web related concerns that they have moving forward so reflecting on this like why did we lose I think honestly like it's just a standard political problem where you have like some activists who care about something on this side who aren't very powerful and then like a bunch of big companies on the other side and like to win that fight what do the activists need the activists need to get many people on their side and we weren't able to do that we got like a protest like 80 people and we got like a couple hundred people this is like call Tim berners-lee and like send him pictures of themselves in front of things with signs but that's 80 people and a couple hundred more let's make say it makes like a thousand total that's like nothing compared to the number of people who are paying Netflix to watch movies so I think that fundamentally my best guess is that like we focused too much on technical arguments because at the w3c in this technical space those companies are gonna win because they have basically I didn't say all right it's not we focus too much on technical arguments is that focused too much on the w3c this this technical standards body we thought that we could win there by making good arguments and calling Tim berners-lee and being like Tim why did you give up your ideals but in that context the interests of these companies and the arguments they are able to make about like will weave the web if you don't add DRM even though that's like not true those arguments were stronger so what we should have done I think is we should have immediately after we first started to raise the alarm about this and we weren't making progress should have immediately pivoted outward and tried to build a broad coalition of various groups who could be concerned about this for their own reasons like we could have done a better job involving groups of people who have disabilities who will be affected by this right we found like some security researchers who would talk about it but we didn't get like a large organization or a large like social movement we could have done a better job involving security researchers and their community and people who had been affected by security vulnerabilities in the past like people who had had identity theft happened to them because they had insecure software on their computer and so the lesson for me is like that when when you're fighting these companies when they try to do bad things like you you can't just fight the fight like on their turf you need to like bring it to the broader political world if we had done that when we have won I don't know you know but next time we'll shoot for that so I'll stop there I think we have like yeah like 10 more minutes does anybody have a question or an issue that they're concerned about about the future of the web that they want to raise that we can discuss together yeah yeah yep I should have talked about that actually yeah yeah well but but Mozilla gave up on it that's the Mozilla if Mozilla had stayed on our side it would have been a lot better is it because it was it was Mozilla said Mozilla said um so when when the coalition of bad guys here like Netflix Apple Google Microsoft when they they started saying they would do this they're like Mozilla like you are you make a browser like you guys implement the web standards well you support our DRM project and Mozilla was like no like we we make open-source software like we hate DRM why would we do that and then the companies kind of made like the same argument to Mozilla that they made to the w3c which was something like you guys only exist because people use the web if if if you don't allow this to happen to web standards at DRM to web standards then people will then we'll take our netflix off the web will take eventually some of youtube off the web and people will just have to download apps and then they won't use firefox anymore which is Mozilla's browser right and just like they told Tim berners-lee people won't use the web anymore and like it worked unfortunately so Mozilla was like okay fine you know we'll work with you on this we'll we'll work on this DRM standard we'll add it to our stuff and we'll also stop complaining about it well like where it will stop politically making noise to try to to try to fight it and that was like a big loss for me because they could have been a really powerful ally and so they didn't they didn't endorse the standard but they like implemented it they made their own system for playing DRM video using this standard and Firefox and I mean we don't know if Mozilla had had stuck to its principles and not done it would people have stopped you in Firefox because Netflix didn't work quite as well in it like maybe but I don't think so I don't think that's why people use Firefox so yeah cool okay okay so right now okay I guess we're done then sorry there's only one question if you want to talk to me later feel free thank you so much everybody [Applause]	Adjy Leak	UCxfh-2aOR5hZUjxJLQ2CIHw	2017-11-15	Creative Commons Attribution license

HAJGe0Qeslo	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAJGe0Qeslo	Символика коровы в латышском фольклоре	my the research of animal symbols has become a new tendency since the dawn of last century when amount of research and doctoral thesis devoted to this team has grown the number of mentioned brewed domestic willed animals in latvian folklore is vast but their symbolic coverage is dense and should be viewed as an artifact from deeper levels of levels of folklore one of the most important animals in maintaining family is the coal which has multiple ways of producing food and in various transformations for example growth from milk to curd to cheese in mythological concepts becomes was nomenclature of complicated symbol exceedings as the theme of my doctoral thesis is connected to the technical world and its representatives in latvian folklore and my supervisor professor janina kursita deals with scientific research of latvian mythology mythology of all we agreed that i will cover this specific team and janina corseta will sum up the general interpretation part um i choose team teams from latvian folk songs fairy tales and beliefs which represent the core in three categories first category the core as a symbol of fertility productiveness and projection of great mother second the core as a part of cosmological process connected to the land and cotonical beginnings and third the cow was an ambivalent representative of ready-made tonical cosmos i found various similarities in folklore of latvian scandinavian indian slavic and adult other cultures for instance latvian fairy tales about golden apple tree and silver spring over the team of stepmother or witch slaying the call from the p or golden apple found in her insides as golden apple tree grows which in latvian folklore tradition is a part of cosmic tree or so-called the tree of sun the cow is sacrificed or allowed to be sacrificed so the world in the image of the cosmic tree can be made there are so there are also parallels with indian mythology where creator brachma is represented as a sacrified coal which during the ritual created cosmos firstly and possibly mainly the core is a symbol of tonical goddess in various zomorphic forms maria can be manifested herself as a todd a fish a bug and also as a coal in the ancient nine-day week fourth day eve of week was blessed as the day when dear mara appear in other words were born in these 50 day eves mara mostly appeared in the shape of cole it was believed that in two state homes where mara was very welcomed domestic animals would be healthy give lots of milk and the milk itself was healthy mara was the guardian of both animals and humans the great mother it meant seem that this motel can only be applied to ancient classic long gone times but i believe that image of mario as a cow and a guardian has stepped also in the 20th century and appear in critical moments for instance in memories of latvian sent to deep north a symbolic symbol of core appear particular similar to the maras alias the call this event takes place uh deep in tundra where no domestic animals could have lived a bridge of imprisoned latvian women were maintaining a roof of the barracks when one of them see a black car beneath her he shooted and pointed out it to other women and all of them went down the roof to see what this miracle call is all about as they descend the barracks crumbled and crushed this woman did not connect this miracle escape with mara as she did not uh the know the concept of marathon but she said when we come down the call was gone but we all had seen it as mentioned before uh goddess mara is the guardian of course the enhance of milk in folklore texts she is called a cow mother milk mother or martial he is asked to bless the course as in this example in latvian languages in english there maria milk mother bless my cousin milk gucci land uh evan ii uh mario is mostly addressed as dear mara she is the goddess of cotonical ambivalence therefore is bought the is about the giver of life and the taker of life um black call nine miles fourth and nine miles black back who wants to live shall die who wants to die shall live stay healthy these words use it to cheat sickness so it's go away it other incantations mara is colored upon to feed coal wreckers riches wizards who want to steal cow's milk or very often in fairy tales the cow appears in initiation rites of poverty example a boy escaping from various supernational beasts hides in the stomach of a cow the cow accidentally eats the boy as in period of illustration the boy has become little in other words tom thumb in russian folklore melchizedek is perchick it's important to note in this story the boy to be initiated in eaton with various slopes and therefore is dehumanized and can be interpreted as the boys returned to the body and warm of great mother just to be reborn in a new image the call is this story in these stories is the anthropogenic creator the call in fairy tales often is a magical helper of sorts in the fairy tale orphan girl and mother's daughter in the whale sauron and forest cow is the one that gives smart advice and physically protects the orphan girl from various dangers mara also is a guardian of orphans and in the image of calm cow helps them to go to the initiation of poverty those who go to this process become orphans for a time they are to be sent away from their from home by their parents to become dependent and after tests starting their grown up independent lives and mara in the image of call helps with either advice or physical shelter the coal is a symbol of earthquake or power in believes the cop is sacrificed to stop poor harvest for example in the time of feminine they gathered money to buy a call and sacrifice it or if one see a call in dreams it was a sign for good harvest the core sacrifice is notion the great mother and so called sadoritoal and is connected with early perceptions of fertility gods which are preyed upon so the land is fair tale if this gone if this does not happen the body of god anti is sacrificed so it is reborn and land fertility is restored and it is also connected with ko asmara god containing elements of god of great mother and is connected to the chronicle 30 land notion in the in date provided by modern field research the core is a sacral animal usually narrators share the emotion stories when one or has to sell or otherwise lose a call the emotional attachment to call is a deep as to a family member and mother feeder and if cor is represent rep if call is present homestead one can't die or famine and so forth nowadays for a woman to be a coloured as a cow is an insult as she will compare herself with the huge clumsy body but in fairy tales and incantations a cow and a woman often are the same same same entities two hippostasis especially in initiation fairy tales where a woman goes to a chain of metamorphosis events at first becoming a being who eats dead bodies later a call and only in the end a human again person worthy of her husband uh the new husband must get ride of women's crying to eat dead bodies which with no weapon hitting her in with a robin tristic she turns back to begin in a call and only then back to in back in a human body in similar incantations such as the woman in the house are as well as the cause are they are connected connection between women and the core it is impossible that in this example the core embodies the architect of a mother in both positive and negative light it is similar to a mother who acts both in god and bad ways to prepare her child to life in society latvian believe that the black and white colored car is the most productive milk giver amara are located as a multi-colored car as a signal of goodwill but she mostly appears as a black hole which is a signal of her tonical nature folklore of latvians western part which could be influenced by finno-ugrian nation the livonians talks are also about a blue coal which has become from the sea but mostly latvian cows are brown and therefore are called the brown ones and famous lately in bonbons little course caulis are brown colored but nowadays you won't find a lot of brow cones in cause in latvian rural landscape because most latvian coals are multicolored more productive and have been bought from the holland on other countries if traditional latvian brown coals could be locked upon as a personality smart cause and each had elsewhere name usually cows are named after river syllabium i must must add that multicolored ones are purely for recreational food purpose they do not have farm space and are killed in the end what kind of milk way we get from cows who are separated from nature it is it shand be one mentioned on folk song sweet magical drink which gives powers for each person who drinks it in winter and summer solstice the cycle of the world in latvia and metapod meteopoid mitopartic scenery the core takes an important place still these animals are not so important as they were before world war ii when to kill a cow even if a cow is sick was almost unimaginable it was like to kill a human in modern hipper market food chain the core is what it gives milk butter cheese meat it is a far from perception of holy sacrifice perception of holiness itself which can take upon zomorphic bodies to test piofel's life and behavior mostly people nowaday are indifferent to what happens to the sorts of food food be it fish sheep or cow or something else and yet something from the worst symbolic notions of coal has been keeped in thinking when visiting countryside urban people want to decorate coast horns with flowers as their ancestors did and to pet its wet nose scratch its head and to look into its big big deep eyes because something symbolic left there who knows thank you you	Живое ТВ	UCegZR7iIGPhXTyF_JSJSDeA	2014-06-09	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

plane spotting live it's a lovely day here in San Francisco got the afternoon winds off the coast there's the iconic San Francisco Tower keep going the and turn looking for that Southwest and then Swiss Air moment can zoom in in downtown there you can see in the background of that shot not only the triple sevs but Salesforce tower that tall building that kind of looks like a bullet that is the tallest building in San francisco3 Back Taxi line hey Infidel if you uh hear this for DFW uh we could probably use a mear report since we are just past the top of the hour San Francisco the city itself has some really iconic air architecture the Salesforce Tower is really impressive an200 uh will not get a chance to visit Alcatraz here Erb this is purely plain spotting related trip I always get a lot of uh weird looks from my family they're like so what did you do uh in San Francisco oh I just plain spotted or Nashville or whatnot thank you Infidel fireman appreciate the mear latest mear has North West Winds or West Northwest winds at 13 knots 10 statue miles of visibility few clouds at 300 and few at 2,000 temperature of 24° C 14° D Point Al temp 304 Bender what's up man best place to spot in Midway o that's a good question over well there's a couple of different places what's up Randy thanks for coming back so a couple places I might recommend Bender is depending on which runways are they they using that's the first question because if I remember correctly if they use Runway 422 uh the best place is probably on top of the rental parking garage the Southwest hanger interferes a little bit but not too much and so if you saw that Midway video I did of plane spawning uh that's where I shot it from was from the Midway Rental car garage and that's for Runway uh 422 now if they are on Runway 1331 probably the best place would also be the rental parking garage but if you want them to go right over your head uh the G orono's parking lot and there's a park across the street as well that's pretty good too but yeah the rental car parking garage gives you good visibility of all the field so I'd recommend that or uh if it's Runway 1331 I would definitely uh check out Giordano's parking lot or the little park across the street yep the Herz garage you got it thanks sir oh Dario's coming awesome there is Swiss 38 trip 7 andb you are the official Emoji man Erb the Emoji man excellent work that's a great view right there yeah absolutely Bender no problem thanks for asking the question appreciate that happy to answer any questions uh that I can if I can I'll recommend how you can find them you know and one of the nice things as we get a Sun Country uh arrival here and looks like an Alaska Horizon arrival on an e175 one of the unique things about Midway that's nice Bender is um you can take the orange line to Midway if you live in the city of Chicago right so or if you take the train Metra you just take the train into the City and uh then just catch the orange line and then I'll take you right to Midway Sun Country making an SFO appear appearance pretty cool cuz I know we don't see these every day at SFO oh excuse me it's a Delta connection 175 left off off one left 14 oh it's Mother Day in Argentina awesome excellent vendor sounds like you're set looks like we get another race ahead of us Southwest and Delta on 737s let's see who's up first Southwest wins the day ladies and gentlemen Southwest everyone give it up for Southwest Airlines woo both into the air safe travels to both of them so Bender I have right now as we uh turn the camera over to one right the camera uh the lens I'm using right now is a 55250 so a 75300 is uh absolutely I think good now that video I Shot mener was with a 100400 lens so just keep that in mind I still think you should be able to get some pretty good shots with a 75300 that's got some nice range United Max taking off there 730 7 [Music] max so vender the north let's see what would it be the northeast corner of that parking garage is where I shot that video so uh you know again if they use Runway 422 that be perfect especially for the takeoffs not so much for the landings uh but yeah but definitely I think either way you'll be in good shape right awesome man that's great and let me know how it goes and welcome in to everybody who's just tuning in we're here in San Francisco just started tips plane spotting live the north winds are off the or the uh winds off the bay are kind of brisk out of the West Northwest thank you very much Erb yes welcome to everybody it's great to have you on board and if you're new to the channel encourage you to like And subscribe we're trying to get to 2,000 subscribers by uh Tuesday evening so I'm going to do my darnest and we're here in San Francisco for another day [Music] too looks like we get another United departure a lovely Airbus a 39 one right clear off one right line 222 uh no what I would do honestly Bender I don't know how old you are uh but what I might suggest is just taking the rent a car shuttle and then if you can drive I would encourage you to you can park there I think it's $4 for the first two hours and then after that $5 check out this sweet gem that is a sharp 757 right there look at that oh I know Erb is in love I yeah so mener I didn't have any issues I actually did drive a car uh because I was staying in naville at the time so I rented a car and uh just drove into Midway and uh just parked there at the parking garage so yeah yeah definitely Sharp of a for sure yeah I no ERB you're in love man of course yeah uh there's a there's part of yeah so I should have clarified so that parking garage is partly for the rental car but there's also the adjoining public garage Bender at Midway so I should have clarified that aren pick op Jet Blue on an a321 headed back to the east coast safe travels they go and if we turn to to the South here or the East we get another 757 uh the parking garage is yeah so uh the parking garage uh next to the rent cars is the best just go to the top floor I think there's like seven floors it'll be perfect that's where I did it was on the seventh floor and then also the park by the GE oranos uh is just across the street from the GE donal's and uh you can just park there for free it's just it's just a small green Plaza it's got flowers and tree or flowers and bushes but they go right over your head so just FYI looking down the coast here seeing what's in bound welcome in everybody to Pips plan spotting live encourage you to like And subscribe if you're new and if you're vetan we sure would appreciate a thumbs up let people know where we are and what we're doing next arrival will be Air India trip 7200 uh I should say after Sky West 3174 from Los Angeles on an e175 the Monster again what is the monster Erb is it the the is it the A380 or is it something that comes out of the water tower good evening H good afternoon this Jaz 558 ready at alpha 1 line up and wait Runway one right Jazz 558 uh yeah I have so what I would encourage you to do Bender for that is join a group called o uh airport watch just Google o airport watch um it's $20 to join or $25 to join they do a quick B background check to you but uh by doing that you won't uh if you have your ID when you spot on the hill you won't get harassed or anything because um it's a program between O'Hare and the Bensonville Police Department so yeah just Google o airport watch they're great group they hold meetings every month board meetings and things like that and I would encourage you to check that out it'll be like 20 $25 you have to bring in your application right stop being a party pooper is your name DFW boom roasted uh but yeah you can and you basically can go all over the airport so yeah I would totally I do I totally do it I was like oh easy [Music] peasy the old crj900 Vancouver um I don't know I just like playing it on the safe side that's just me plus the group of people is pretty cool I would encourage you to do that I I am a member as well so all right there is it oh I'm going to turn the other way is Air India perfect timing on that one for that crj is Air India from Mumbai is now arriving beautiful I wonder when the first opportunity we are are going to get to see the new Air India delivery over here in San Francisco H Dario happy Mother's Day You Went midnight spotting yesterday flare was there anything out there was it cool like midnight spotting would be awesome at like a big cargo base that's right just in time for the trip 7 from Air India Next arrival will be WestJet 1522 from Calgary and United 1187 on a 737 Max 9 to wish 1522 on the approach for uh it doesn't randomly come what my favorite app is called Flight Radar 24 Flight Radar 24 is my favorite it's a free app you can get the free version or you can get the paid version I like that so wow two West Jets of flare Porter E2 and a Delta 757 pretty good flare see Erb we're just too far apart cuz I I do not like the Air India the new livery at all 332 awful especially on the Dreamliner thank you Infidel fireman yeah yes it does vender sure [Music] does one left C takeoff now scy 3332 nope don't like the new Air Lingus Erb we're just too far apart that's right the new aviation weather website drops tomorrow Infidel fireman thanks for that reminder uh Bender so DFW is a Dallas Fort Worth airport is what we're talking about so there is actually an A380 that comes into uh Chicago oare Bender so yeah download on your phone uh the flight radar app for free or you can do the paid version which is like $3.99 a month which is just ridiculous so I pay the paid version uh yeah I agree with the the new LOF tons delivery is much better for sure yeah Infidel I've been checking out the uh beta it's way better totally worth it it's been taking forever I just wish they would create an aviation weather Center app from the government you know there's the old WestJet Livery flare there's the max 9 coming in from Boston yeah I know I know we were both kind of heartbroken yeah anel I'm really frustrated with the government that looks good but I seriously wish they would just

little expensive but I'm learning that's right the flying pencil land of flying pencils one right American 2020 Next arrival is that that go around Turkish Airlines Turkish 79 one Triple 7 and also

[Music] [Applause] [Music] Infidel yep okay aviation there are I'm really grateful for that it's awesome building the channel there's our Turkish Airlines Triple 7 and while we're watching it land current conditions oops sorry about that current conditions in San Francisco 0056 Zulu wind out of the North West Northwest at 12 nuts 10 statue miles of visibility F clouds I don't know why it continues to say 200 and uh temperature of 21° C D point of 12 and altimeter 303 all right we're trying to get up to 100 today Erb and I welcome Marina star or Nea star thank you so much 2046 outside the bridge for the right [Music] excellent idea dast highly recommend it so have you never been to San Francisco before and want to do plane spotting here are a couple tips number one stay very close to the park don't uh you want to stay in the Berling game uh SFO area cuz those are the hot that are just to the south of the airport so the hotels that are immediately within a mile walk are uh the Marriott the Aloft the Hampton Inn the Hyatt regeny the Weston the Bay Landing uh and these hotels are what I'm saying are easy to stay at and walk to the park here within a mile another thing San Francisco is very expensive the restaurants nearby there's a seafood place I'm probably going to eat at tomorrow night there's also uh an In-N-Out an ll's barbq Panera that are about a mile from the hotel oh do I remember what the uh approach to oh no because you know what it is jet dispatcher the only thing that is in my head is the PRM approach like that's the only thing I think I think of when I think of the 28s is like the ILS PRM approach because we watched a video on it in Envoy training I'm like why are we even watching this we don't fly to San Francisco but okay aviation you're in San Francisco right now what yeah it's an easy walk so it's usually uh cheaper to stay in the uh nearby hotels on the weekends when there's not the business Travelers of the business being done so I'm staying at the Marriott which is usually like 200 bucks a night and I think I paid 140 so and I so that's really and it's really nice del3 sancisco 32 the hint is the distance 2 11000 hint is the distance 28s 100t will have dang it jet dispatcher jet dispatcher has dispatched way more flights s Francisco than I have I know that much okay aviation don't take this the wrong way but I don't think you've ever been out out of the state of Oklahoma you're born and bred sooner over the ground4 you all have a great [Music] [Applause] night9 we are up and ready United 2569 one right 2y right line up

GA2obMTvFXY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GA2obMTvFXY	Guest Wyatt Staggs \| Top Preps	hello this is top preps Sports interviews by sadeel sundaraj tonight I'm happy to be speaking with Wyatt Staggs a senior and a combo guard on the Bulls High School varsity battle team located in Quinlan Texas uh once again Wyatt thank you so much for taking time out this week me uh tonight uh congrats on your success uh you know in terms of playing basketball uh at Bulls High School can you talk about it sum up uh you know said your your senior season yes sir first I was going to say thanks for having me but we had our best School record we've ever had this year over 25 wins and finished third overall District didn't go how we wanted to in the playoffs lost in the first round but really overall really good season for us head coach picked up his 200th career win this year and just a great overall season the best record the school's ever had so it was a great year for us yeah that's fantastic news uh to hear hey uh White I wanted to ask you you know putting that Hornets Jersey on the number 11. uh every time you took the court uh you know what did that represent to you personally and just you know being able to you know go out there with the rest of your teammates it means a lot you know our team really had a tight Bond just over the years you know we've kind of all played it's kind of been the same group of guys the last three years when I was a sophomore and all the Juniors we had were freshmen we were all in the varsity then so we've all been super young and all varsity and now they actually were all older and finally took that big step where I think we all developed a pretty high level game so it was a lot it was real fun you know some of those some of those guys are just my best friends so it was fun to play with them yeah it's wonderful to hear I it must be like a full circle moment uh wife you know it said being a senior and being able to help out those oppression sophomores knowing that you were there at one point and uh looking out to those seniors and um you know here be able to pass down that knowledge and experience to them yes there's it was definitely a different experience I've had than every other year I've had on varsities but it was definitely my favorite season that's great that's great hey uh you definitely flourished on the the hardwood Court uh and the numbers speak for themselves the fact that you were able to do it both on the offensive and defensive end I mean averaging 16 points per game seven rebounds seven assists three steals two blocks just you know again amazing numbers you're able to put up uh talk about your game and just the fact that how much you know putting that work in I'm sure on and off the court really paid off for you uh Wyatt yes sir definitely definitely in the off season you know basketball season did last year and ever since it ended last year I've been in the gym as much as I can putting up shots you know just going through different drills and then just this season every day you know staying after practice getting there early in the mornings coming in on the weekends just trying to get in the gym and just living the gym as much as possible studying film and just hours on film trying to get as much knowledge as I can on our team and the other team to help us prepare on game days yeah it's tremendous I mean a real you know student of the game you know gym rat I mean that's really I think what it takes you know that 24 7 365 motto like you know if you don't uh adhere to that excuse me um you're really toast I mean if you want to be the best at you know again at your craft and you know separate yourself from the rest of the pack white you really have to put that time in yes sir absolutely yeah no it's great hey you know what's so impressive is that you just don't play basketball the fact that you've played football running you know track I mean multiple Sports you know obviously that's got to really you know pan out you know it said extremely well for you the fact that staying in shape year-round here Wyatt yes sir and uh football I played receiver and corner so you know that really helps with your hand-eye coordination just tracking the ball and then playing football it's a real physical game so just your overall strength General and then track I ran the four by four and the 400 and 4x2 last year so they're staying in shape and then helping a lot with just Sprints and endurance and then actually qualified for regionals and high jump last year so you know of course that helps you know just being able to jump higher helps a lot on the court too yeah that's great that's great yeah definitely hey uh when it comes to uh the game of basketball uh just wondering some of the intentions that stand out for you Wyatt just I mean whether it's you know during the course of a game practice off the court just you know what makes it really enjoyable to play the game uh just since I started playing in seventh grade and ever since then foot basketball has been my favorite sport I've just loved playing it as much as I can just staying in the gym all the time really just growing a really big love for the game and a love for my teammates just you know it's a real it's like a real family out there so it's real fun to play with them out my whole career okay I have to ask you uh in terms of uh you know pregame rituals and before you take that Court uh just to get yourself really locked in and focused you know as said at the task at hand uh what you've done like you know just you know on the individual basis here uh Wyatt just I think a lot of like the same things most high schoolers you know probably I know I have like my own playlist I listen to before games you know and during warm-ups and stuff just nothing really too crazy just listening to a playlist and then just going out there and hooping yeah no definitely I and I just wanted to build on top of that during the course of the game I'm always intrigued by uh uh athletes you know especially with basketball what you see out there in the court you know you're facing of course the opposing team the players um you know the fact that you're a combo guard so from your perspective what is it during the game like you know you're just trying to I mean of course you're you know trying to outmaneuver and outdo you know of course the the opposing team but from your Vantage Point what what are those moments like for you Wyatt my big thing is I watch a ton of film I'm real big on film you know if you can learn their Tendencies from film you get into the game and it's just secondhand nature you just pick up what they're gonna do or you know what they're gonna do before they do it so I think just watching film and then you get to the game and you know what they're about to do or you know their tendencies in certain spots you can just react on those and I'll play just make plays just by being prepared and just outsmart the other team really yeah no the the good points you made there hey the the fact that you're you're so flexible in terms of the positions you play you know playing that combo guard uh you know said uh roll what is it about that I mean just the fact that you know teams really have to you know zero in on you you know the fact that you are has said play those multiple roles so just our positions talk about that Wyatt yes sir so I go to a smaller school so we don't have the seven foot Senators the big six eight six nine guys so yeah really just seeing what we need defensively to match up with whoever their big is so they were games I was matching up with their five so I'm playing the five so I played the one through five this year so okay it's really being able to be flexible and just wherever I need to help my team succeed it's just big yeah that's a historical to hear you know we talked about earlier the strength and conditioning I mean nutrition wrestling recoveries uh so important mental health as well talk about that I mean that that really I mean it said you know in terms of having uh the mental and physical you know said uh capacity and components in place talk about how essential that was to you especially here in your senior season uh Wyatt is there like I said overall if it's just my teammates you know have been every day to practice games you know every day was fun there wasn't one time I think anyone really dreaded coming to practice at all which with all the previous teams I've had I've never had that experience before where everyone just wanted to be there all the time so that really helped mentally too just getting to you know enjoy it every day and everyone around you is enjoying it too then yeah a big thing is the uh is staying physically prepared you know lifting weights conditioning all the time make sure you're not putting stuff in your body that's going to affect you you know eating right drinking right and then keeping your legs fresh you know getting massage guns ice baths whatever you really need just to make sure you're 100 for game day yeah no that I mean the pound you take you know every game and just the uh recovery after that it's so pivotal you know because in terms of staying healthy you know not only for the next game you know but for the entire season uh here Wyatt uh I had to ask you just in terms of uh also what uh college and NBA players I wanted to you know switch that up uh you know that you pay particular attention to and you know sort of maybe take away what you know they do on the on the court some of their Tendencies and you know apply it to your game uh College this year I really started watching the new guard Duke got uh Tyrese Proctor I like his overall game and he plays the combo guard spot as well and he's real smart can play make and I like how he kind of creates off the dribble yeah I really like how watching him play and then watching a Grady dick out of Kansas just being able to get to his spots and pull up and shoot over defenders just being a longer Wing guard you know just able to shoot over those guys too yeah and then NBA level I like uh Shay Gill just Alexander and kind of like a Devin Booker and then lamelo ball just how you know metal is kind of flashy Playmate you know kind of a passport sky but can still go score uh Devin Booker just gets to his spots will just like how he gets to his spots and then yeah he'll come down and clamp you on defense then get back down on offense and take you out of the way of the rim so I try to put implements from all those guys into my game yeah no that again all solid players and I like how you the way you describe it the fact that you know in terms of the spacing you know the floor creating off you know the dribble I mean really and then being that facilitator as well I I think on the court um yeah that's great to hear hey I had to ask you uh the first time you you took the court as a freshman and now you know moving here you know all the way up to your senior season what were those I mean just describe those you know moments I mean I'm sure like you know it's much different you know knowing senior year this is the last go-around but uh what were those experience like for you Wyatt it is definitely a big difference you know freshman year just knowing my role you know I'm not going to get to go in much you know coming off the bench to senior year being the being the go-to guy on the offense you know kind of the team team captain this year so definitely big differences so if I had to look back you know my freshman year I never thought I could be the player that I am today I don't think back then I mean hitting a big growth spur going from five eight freshman year to six for senior year definitely helped just I think all the hours in the gym you know just helps you over time definitely big you know yeah is staying in the gym 24 7 like you said being a gym rat just trying to get in there as much as you can whenever you can yeah and then just learning from some of the guys ahead of me above me kind of took their leadership skills or just things I gathered over the years and trying to put all those implements into my game and my leadership as a senior yeah that was one of the one of my questions asking you what word that growth spur it took place you know six four 170 so you definitely answered that one Wyatt but uh I think yeah yeah go ahead I think freshman year I came in I was I think five eight five nine about okay 1 15 soaking wet so wow yeah no definitely uh I said uh a sizable difference now compared to the freshman year um hey as we know it's just not about it being an athlete's being a student athlete you've definitely been able to excel in the classroom 3.4 GPA now everybody's cut out for this why you got to have that time management organization down pat and you obviously have them between the practices you know the games the lifts watching film it really takes a lot a huge chunk out of your time but talk about how you know you've been able to really strike that fine balance is there so my parents have always told me you know you can't go anywhere to college or anywhere without you know having good grades and then just about discipline you got to discipline yourself to make sure grades always come first so you got to discipline yourself to make sure you're getting those done before you're getting all your other stuff done but yeah definitely trying to find a medium between practices getting your homework done and still trying to get in the gym and get all those extra reps but yeah things just you know my parents always kept it installed you know make sure you're on top of your grade it's always keeping me on top of them so definitely a big shout out to them they're just helping me through out all that yeah it's a magnificent to hear um as you know we we live in a day and age of uh social media highlight videos and uh you know you definitely been able to utilize that you know effectively and I you know of course uh before we came on there I talked about Kevin Moses a big shout out to Kevin coach Moses for arranging this uh interview and uh he he's just done again a a fabulous job across the country be able to break down uh basketball well players uh you know skill levels and I love what he had to say about you the the fact that you're a gem you're going to be a steal for any program but true leader and Game Changer solid scoring with games that were a scoring Clinic beautiful shot from deep and exclusive all the bounce and crafty an awesome passer and Defender and a horse on the boards I mean when you hear those uh hear that feedback and those compliments I'm just wondering what comes to your mind here Wyatt I've always tried to have like an all-around game like I don't ever want someone to say well there's a hole in his game here there's a hole in his game here I want to make sure no one can really find a hole in my game because I don't want there to be a hole in my game so trying to work on everything you know not just trying to be an offensive minded player or a defensive minded player or can just shoot or can just protect the rim I want to be able to do it all out there so I can like I said you can do everything you're going to give your team the best chance to win at the end of the day yeah no it's outstanding and I I think it's great because you know being able to Showcase and you know for coaches recruiters having to put those highlight videos out there and really display your talent level what you could do on the court I'm sure that that's something you really try to harp on here uh Wyatt yes sir so I know we live in a day and age like we're your big thing for recruiting is going to be you know getting your film out there to coaches getting your stats off there to coaches you know just really and like you can't wait for the coaches to reach out to you you got to reach out to them too and you know really show them you want it just as bad yeah like you got to reach out there and let them know and Coach Moses has helped me a lot with that you know helping me get coach's contacts you know help me just get this interview just really get me out there it's really helped me out a lot for sure yeah no he he's he's absolutely the best in the business um as you know you need a family structure solid support uh you live with your dad your stepmom and three siblings I just want to ask you what that meant to you here along this uh academic and athletic Journey here Wyatt you know it means a lot you know my parents have always really helped me go get my goals and do whatever they can to help me accomplish whatever I want to get done last this past High School just College whatever I want to do they've always been my biggest supporters then my siblings it's always been you know we've gotten real close over the past few years and I know they look up to me and you know I'm gonna miss some going off to college for sure going all real close but it's just I want to be a good role model for my siblings too for sure so they get older they kind of turn into better just overall people yeah no that I think that's again it's a super important uh so I got to ask you uh why with all all the pressures of uh academics Athletics you need some down time so I gotta ask you you know in your spare time you know when you do have it you know some of your favorite hobbies and just you know what you like to you know that where you can clear your mind and sort of relax here um I help with my little brother he plays he's in sixth grade he's 11 so okay I've always been real big Just Sports has always been my thing just whatever sport is baseball football basketball whatever it is so I always try to help him you know because he wants to be he wants to be great he wants to put in all the extra time and stuff so I'm trying to help him so I hope I coach I help coach his uh football basketball and his baseball teams with little league so that takes up some of the time and then just hanging out with friends hanging out with my girlfriend just hanging out with the family playing 2K just whatever I can that's great yeah that's uh I like to hear that you know just the fact that you can you know concentrate on those things uh hey I I think you're in a perfect spot here uh why to offer some much needed uh advice and a message for those younger kids and athletes out there as you know we live in a very competitive nature and Society saw me really trying to separate yourself from the rest of the pack and trying to find the sport that you're most comfortable playing with so I was even playing Athletics for a long time so I wonder kids you know watch this interview what would you say to them definitely all the extra work is going to pay off you gotta you gotta put in the extra work to be great no one got good or got to where they're playing at a professional or college level just by showing up to practices practicing for the practice times you know you gotta you gotta get in the gym on the field in the weight room wherever you can gotta be gotta work extra you got to know ever how bad everyone else wants it you gotta want it just as bad or more than everyone else does you got to go out there and show you're not gonna let anyone out working you got to outwork anyone to get ahead yeah no it's uh all you know I said uh terrific points hey before we get the last uh or the final word and message here uh talk about bulls High School uh in terms of the the student body Administration Athletics uh you know just the support you've received them here you know from them here in the four years and especially uh playing on uh on the varsity basketball team yes sir I got the bowls and I was in fifth grade and it's been it's like a big family down there you know everyone's real close you know everyone's a small school seeing all your classmates you know all your teachers all the administrators like and they really do want you to succeed they'll do whatever they can to make sure you succeed and you go reach the goals you want to accomplish from your classmates to the teachers the administrators they've definitely helped me not just become a better athlete and a better student just a better individual just a better person overall it's really been big you know had a great coaching staff all the years we've had some coaches leave here and out but every coach I've had since I've been in high school has definitely made a big impact yeah definitely Life Lessons Learned in teaching those uh values and beliefs you know one one question I hadn't popped into my mind is uh I'll talk about those home games and then even on the road uh awaiting so I'm sure you know building up that chemistry of course with your coach cohesion is with your your teammates uh what what have what has happened you know for you you know what is that uh so I mean I'm sure they've been magical uh you know here the past four years oh yeah definitely definitely best memories I won't even know if they've been on the court with my teammates just you know bus rides teen dinners after team dinners before the games just being around the guys all four years has been great and then like you said the home games the away games our fans have always traveled well the away games and they've definitely been there on the home games and kept the energy up so it makes it way more fun to play When the fans are energized and benches energized and everyone's into it definitely makes the games 10 times more enjoyable yeah I'm sure this past season with the again with the the records that you guys set and the amount of wins I'm sure it just you know really heightened that and just like the fact that that brought that adrenaline that energy you know ascended into the building oh yeah I don't think the energy drops at all this year the energy was up from the beginning of the Season till the last dribble of the season the energy was up the whole year didn't matter if we were up in a game down in the game the fans were always into it the team was always into it definitely yeah why energy team high energy fans just it was a great great time you know I know it's never easy to take that Jersey off for the last time final game I mean I'm sure it's gut-wrenching a lot of emotions tears I I had to ask you I mean like you know for an athlete I mean I'm sure it goes by in a blitz I mean you know time you enter as a freshman and you finish up as a senior so I'm wondering for you what was transpiring through your mind uh here Wyatt yeah this last senior season like I said it was definitely the most fun I've ever had playing any sport over High School this year we were all real close and everything and this whole season just went by and like a blink of an eye like you said area blurry yeah real fast you know knowing that that could have been my last time I put on a jersey you know it's crazy to think about and last time I could play with some of those some of my best friends like this team is really like a family this year so it's definitely it was definitely hard taking off that jersey for the last time and knowing I won't be able to play with those guys again definitely it was a hard or play for the coach I've had same coach for four years and got a new assistant coach this year who's put in all the time and effort and extra time with me you know getting her there early to open the gym staying after late coming in on the weekends you know really helping me perfect my craft and then just helping me you know be a better person better student off the court as well yeah again that's uh that's awesome to hear okay uh why you get the file awarded message here uh for family friends uh teammates and coaches uh on the Bulls High School uh varsity basketball team and uh you know Administration Athletics the student body and the community of Quinlan uh Texas I wanted to you've earned that right and wanted to give you the I'm sure there are a lot of people you want to thank here sir you know just want to thank really just everyone who supported me and helped me out through these definitely these four years and definitely this last year you know you know no I don't think anyone would have thought as long as I wouldn't have thought me as my freshman year would be looking to go play college or even Beyond College playing basketball football in any of the sports so just really just want to support everyone who supported me and had my back and really looked out for me these last four years for sure and then just want to give definitely a big shout out to my teammates this year you know thanks for making this last year enjoyable you know I couldn't have imagined a better senior year maybe A better ending but not a better overall team just everything this year big shout out to my parents you know just helped me over my last four years of high school just really getting me prepared of what it's like to be an adult and what's going to be like in the real life after this so you know just big shout out to everyone thanks for having me of course you know uh shout out to coach Moses too for sure you know setting this all up just helping me definitely big time but hopefully this this last game this won't be the last time you see me in a in a basketball jersey and definitely won't be the end of my journey that's for sure well said hey uh why just a true honor and privilege being able to speak with you uh you know once again congratulations uh on your success at balls High School in Quinlan Texas on the varsity

hdToluf8WWs	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hdToluf8WWs	PROJECT LAZARUS-MOST MODDED SERVER IN RUST ( A FULL WEEK SOLO )	well hello there everyone sorry it's been a while but welcome back to the skip games too much channel here we're back playing the most modded server on Rust project Lazarus hardcore Daisy rust mod okay guys we're spawning on the beach here we're back with some work this is going to be a full wipe of me solo just trying to get at it you guys don't understand what I'm saying just just grinding every day see if we can get some raids try to get much more PVP than we've ever had right that's my promise to you guys much more action all right so like I said just spawn on the beach let's get it started all right guess time to start my long walk here I've uh picked a spa but it's very very far away so let's see uh what we can do on the way there as this video starts too I gotta remind you guys uh this isn't the normal mode that you see other streamers play like Brit or whatever who says it's the most modded server he always plays on the original mode not the hardcore one so for example he doesn't need Nails the world twig or cement to build stone or sheet metal components to build sheet metal walls uh nothing against him just this is the Hardcore version okay guys Philly game clothes are big because right now you notice my inventory slots are very limited as soon as I put on this shirt right I got way more inventory slots so it's really important you got to sit and pants on at least all the time because that'll give you at least a full inventory running around with no slots is horrible right now just trying to get anything I can from these girls and the wrecks along the road to sell The Outpost try to get you know basic ham or stuff like that so I can get a base started right away and start storing stuff it's kind of your first priority I feel like playing on the server so while I'm selling what meager possessions I have here for pennies I just want to let you guys know that yeah all this audio is voiced over at the end I can't get my recorder to pick up my audio while I'm playing my microphone works just fine as you can see but for some reason Nvidia I just won't capture my personal audio if I play with other friends it'll capture theirs even so if anybody knows what setting that is please let me know in the comments or send me a message on Discord there you go you see how all that grayed out stuff in my inventory is gone now it's all you need a cloth shirt and pants another cool feature of the server is the bank system so I was saying oh cache is really important now you can stash a certain amount of cash away all the time so nobody can steal it from you or rate it from your base right so I'm running through the night through the fours picking up cocaine leaves and the poppy seeds and all kinds of different things like that every time I pick something up if you look in the top left I'm getting a little bit of experience so on This Server yeah you gain levels for doing stuff killing Bots breaking barrels mining rocks uh looting chests all kinds of stuff like that and that gives you bonuses every time you level up you get some kind of bonus so it's huge for leveling up really big especially in the later levels good thing I'm so poor and Ellie won't even bother me right now this map is actually like really big it's taken me a while to run across my main goal is to get to my base about ASAP but I'm trying to collect some stuff along the way as long as it doesn't slow me down too much I'm actually getting some random Base building supplies I need some cement some Nails components so hopefully when I get to the Outpost near where I want to build my base I can get anything I need and put down the starter right away it was super handy having a horse this early uh to be honest so there was quite a few just sitting out on the roads and out in the fields and stuff it seems like they spawned pretty regularly on this server all right you can see I hit some barrels I traveled far on the horse okay you get it I showed enough clips of me hitting barrels all right here we are we're finally at the southern Outpost right next to where I want to build my base all right and it's time to sell my junk to see what we get so what you're going to see here is Abridged version I'm going to skip ahead all the time as much as I can throughout this whole video like when I'm selling stuff all kinds of things I'm going to cut out every little thing I can because otherwise the selling system's a little funny and I can't tell what I have sometimes I go through it multiple times just trying to cut it all out so after selling all that stuff I go buy a door go buy a hammer you know basic stuff after buying that stuff I kind of wish I had a little bit more money and then I remembered I had some in the ATM still so go do a little withdrawal and let's get back to doing some shopping I buy another two sheet metal doors here and then I head off to finally put down my little starter I realize at this point I'm probably gonna need some wood considering I don't have any stone I really don't have any cement uh that's gonna have to be a starter I made out of wood not the greatest idea but I need a base I need somewhere to store my Loop I don't know why I always do this I tend to build my starters into a cliff the side of a cliff just to make it so you know you can't read through one wall but then my plan is to always you know make a different base somewhere else but my starter always turns into my main and ends up being some danky mess so here we go damn it ran out of nails so I can't upgrade any of this to actual wood without them I guess let's Place everything I can and uh let's go buy some or make some money all right so we gotta move quickly here we're leaving everything pretty undefended while I try to seal this thing up okay and there's gunshots that's always good getting a sleeping bag is kind of nice because you can't craft them or beds but the sleeping bag on this server is a one-time use thing it destroys itself if you manage to get a bed and uh you use it it's a 15 minute cool down on your bed much different server all right I broke some stuff really close to the base I'm gonna take it back to the Outpost you can sell it buy some Nails Plus whatever anything else we need damn that's crappy money I'll have to do for now though okay I guess that's all the nails we can get for now foreign let's run back and see if we can uh seal something in KK sweet we made it back let's build this thing up all right I got everything from the TC how much can we get done all right we got one sealed door and a wood one by one uh we're gonna have to go back out right away again here okay we got our bag down too nice little temporary spawn saves us one very long walk if we die I had like 300 bucks left at my base apparently I didn't bring last time I just went got some more nails and just running back with it foreign we're back doing some more upgrading here uh still still just not enough um just kind of in a hurry here I'm relearning the server all right guys this is a very different server I haven't played it in months and I'm also on a little bit of a time crunch okay I only have a few hours to play before I had to go to work uh so I'm trying to get the base secure any basic here somewhere to spawn uh so when I come back and play tonight here in a few hours that uh that I'll be able to you know get a good start and not be you know from scratch on the naked industry so again real quick just speeding this up head barrels went back to the Outpost sold it all bought some more Nails um yeah I looked guys it's actually only an hour this all this footage you've seen so far was just one hour before I had to log off and go to work for a few hours so I was just trying to get a little uh little base operation started for when I log back on later here so along with the nails I needed a touch more wood I'm gonna hack down some quick trees and try to seal this base up make it hard for anybody uh to get in too easily anyway and guess what you know what guys all right just putting everything away closing all the doors versus here and uh yeah like I said I just gotta go to work for a few hours all right we're back um rated that was only gone like two and a half three hours max in the middle of the day day two the server and people are raiding wood Shacks that are brand brand new all right well we're back now I got another hour and a little bit to play before I gotta go do something again let's see if we can patch this thing up quick and just did a few barrels really quick and I'm gonna recycle this get some cloth get some clothes so I can open up my inventory slots again and uh yeah these guys in chat are the ones who rated me and they're always complaining about people trying to offline them even though they're a trio who offline offline everyone okay sorry kind of a big skip here just went around hitting barrels and uh just uh night time now gotta build a little bit in the dark but that's not the end of the world that need more nails again oh this is frustrating I gotta find a better way to make money than this [Music] so I hit a bunch more barrels and I came back home and I want to show you because that's boring uh yeah anyway we're back here we're gonna try and fix this up all right we got the base all fixed up kind of we're gonna add a lot of hats technically another door and then we got to work on upgrading the base to Stone while we use cement cement is kind of like nails then we'll need sheet metal to upgrade our base to metal we also need to upgrade your TC to go from Stone to metal you got to spend 3 500 bucks which is a hefty sum considering how much I'm making all right we're gonna buy as much as we can here and we'll take it home and see if we can make at least one or both of the bottom rooms all Stone one more thing you need besides cement to upgrade your base in the stone can you guess what that is it's Stone it doesn't look very promising but at this stage we'll take any scraps and uh will you find some scraps nothing too exciting okay so I smashed a few more rocks headed back to base now we upgraded all that to stone look how much we did though got the whole bottom floor to uh two squares then we got a one more Square above it so technically we got at least three doors to the loot that's golden baby that's golden but you know what I gotta go back to work for a few hours so hopefully we don't get rated again fingers crossed come on come on come on yes looks like we didn't get raided guys so that that's great news we got a stone base we got some basic tools we got clothes on we are going to get some real grinding done uh today I only had an hour to play then I had to go to work and came back was rated I only had an hour to play Fix It Up had to log off now we're back now I'm gonna get a solid you know what I mean six seven eight hours uh we're gonna get some real stuff done again just cut out me hitting some rocks and some trees picking up some plants not the most exciting thing you will be seeing that don't worry but I cut that stuff out and now that we're back to base you know you can see my inventory uh it doesn't look like much but I just want to let you know that the Gathering is halved right so it's almost nothing you feel like you're farming for half an hour and it's nothing so now after a few untelevised runs you can see I'm starting to build up some mats so there's actually quite a few unique rules and settings on the server it's hard to tell you all about all of them if you type info in the chat though yeah a little book will come up they've done a nice job putting in a little custom plug-in for this here so you can kind of read up on everything you need to all right so what you see in front of you is the coastal town after playing this server before a couple times this is a great monument at the start it's huge the loot is pretty much never ending there's zombies so let's go check it out so here we have our first friends not terribly hard to kill annoying kind of with a crossbow but yo they drop pretty decent loot like if you need ammo and meds this is an easy way to get them on the server pretty much just Farm zombies zombie number two here you guys notice when I kill one I'm putting it up in the top left of the screen on my stats and uh also notice again that here he's dropping pretty damn good loot right and I'm getting experience for killing each one of them too which is really important foreign as I go into the coastal town for the first time I get a little notification saying a hackable crepe is getting dropped in the coastal town that I'm at there's only one on the server so there's several places where hackable crates will drop on this server and I am literally in the middle of like three of them so we got a good location playing on server like this is actually pretty fun you're not limited to what's allowed to spawn on a crate um literally almost anything can be out here on on these boxes or on the ground wherever um you know if coffee can't home in a med kit I found Rockets I've found guns bullets it really doesn't matter the game obviously has a smaller chance for rockets and stuff but it's like the Wild Wild West all right finished running the coastal town my inventory is full we started that hackable crate we're gonna come back just head back to base drop this off all right made it home a nice secure little base I needed some storage and then we're heading back right out so I don't live very far from the coastal town and it didn't take me very long to get back to my base in Depot so I doubt the crates ready Let's uh let's just go run the town again and when the crates ready we'll pop it that should work out good all right that's a really good find on my second time in the coastal town here uh backpack right uh backpacks are so huge it's not in the normal game guys right but now I can have bigger Halls going back and forth my base just saves time right big win so much good stuff guys like Jackhammer more metal armor and then it looked like gingerbread men that's actually just a different uh skin I guess the in-game for the cement it actually looks different in your inventory but yeah just running the town gets you so much good stuff and we're full again we're heading home all right once again you put all that stuff and now I think it's time to go try to hit that lock crate it's probably gonna open now because it's a locked crate and you can see it on the map here I'm just creeping through the city make sure I don't hear anything sound is so crucial in this game and here we are opening the crate oh that's not bad I really need the guns that's really good the supply signal will help a lot too all right back home again drop off the loot right back out again scared me a little bit I thought it was a player for sure making all that noise you know all right really big thing I got on that run is I found it bad uh beds are super useful on This Server sleeping bags like I mentioned earlier are one use only and a bed you can use forever but it's got a 15 minute cooldown so we definitely need at least that in our base all right processing drugs requires a recycler that's not in a safe Zone and you can open up this little Tab and then you gotta wait 80 Seconds all right we got our first batch of drugs processed and we built up a good number of components and different things now so after we get back to the base We Gather it all up and it's time to do our first real sell-off here thank you all right here we go The Outpost good thing it's so close it's literally like less than a square away not a bad haul 6866 dollars so when I started this video here we were talking about getting experience and gaining levels well here's the benefit of gaining levels [Music] we got some skis I got some resources um not too bad and they just keep getting better right like look at that an extra 2500 bucks look at all the resources it's pretty huge all right so we did all that we're about to head back to base but I figure let's be smart and put all the money we can in the ATM that way if we get rated again we still have some stash left over um and as you in your ATM so right now I can totally hold 5 000. by the end you can hold thirty thousand which is pretty huge right foreign so after cutting down all those trees get back into base I figured out I needed some more so I just ran out really quick got some more trees simple all right we're on the coastal town of bunch we sold a bunch we chopped a ton of wood we got the furnaces going and now let's go explore a little bit didn't really need those other tools but I'll take them the rest of this little exploration room whatever just kind of looking for nose [Music] thank you all right I just realized I hit level six a little while ago so let's gather our bonus from that it's a nice little PVP cat point all right you know me I'm not gonna set my base too long we're heading out we're heading back to the coastal town all right another coastal town run done try to say that 10 times fast okay we're heading home we're putting the loot away and then I noticed there has been another locked crate dropped very close to my base at another small monument called the suburbs let's go so I creep up to the monument and I'm actually just sitting there because I didn't see anything and all of a sudden on the corner of my eye I can barely notice it but there's this first kill baby let's go oh he's pretty stacked too [Applause] all right let's get out of here pretty quick we'll stash all this stuff and we'll come back for the lock crate so I'm editing here and I'm kind of asking myself how come I didn't go back for the lock crate I honestly don't know I don't know if I forgot about it I thought he's gonna be sitting there waiting for me but I didn't go back I guess so here I am back at the coastal town again and here we go we find a backpack again but an even better one even bigger one so I'm just minding my own business looting whoa holy crap he got the drop on me pretty good there he must have seen me and been following me or something otherwise I wasn't really making a lot of noise for the last few seconds there oh my God it's the same guy from the suburbs it's just way less loaded this time okay this is going pretty good so far two PVP kills no PVP debts so as I'm editing this I can just really see that you know we're going over and over with the coastal town here and keep trying to cut out as much as I can but it's got a little green card room so I decided to hit that up too then just using this as my main source of loot you know there's not a ton of people there I I catch people there but it's just over and over respawning decent loot it's close to my base this is by far much better than running the road so this is what I do for a lot of the video guys I'm going to cut it out all the extra [ __ ] though don't worry oh [Music] another town run done let's go I had a bunch of stuff piled up again so I decided to take a video post just a quick jaunt away and let's get her sold okay so I sold all that got a decent amount of change and then I was going to recycle some shotgun ammo for gunpowder and I can't make anything with it but I can sell the gunpotter so that's extra money anyway there's a person AFK recycling at the recycler and I tried to slowly push them away and eventually I guess they uh they started clap it for me just remember the name Sable okay we got that done I see a repair bench let's change up my colors here let's uh let's get the swag going oops forgot to sell these two large furnaces they're worth like 650 each that's huge same thing with small refineries they're 550 each so good good grab if you can find them you know your base means a lot on This Server so I'm really trying to get prepared to upgrade my base to metal uh we're gonna sell our gunpowder and we're gonna buy a garage door here and that should make us a lot more secure foreign we're out of there uh made it back home let's swap this door at the garage door all right I'm pretty much Mr prepared so I'm gonna use these chainsaws that I got and I'm gonna go smash some trees real quick and come back [Music] that was sure quick wasn't it maybe for you okay we filled these bastards up now let's get back out there all right as you can see I'm just hitting some nodes exploring and I come across this base hidden in the trees kinda let me just start checking out a little bit looking at the layout see if I could rate it maybe soon oh they don't know I'm out here foreign well as you guys completely see I was not door camping I uh was scouting and they came out right in front of me all I had to do was sit still for a moment you guys can see the type of player I am right I'm a big grinder right I'm like I like the PVP but I don't like go hunting for it non-stop I find getting stuff done is really important and you guys can see how much I'm getting done like just responsible farming you know okay guys it's night time but we got another lock crate landing at the coastal town it's crazy right it's the first day it lands there multiple times and like you know one day of me playing not like one day in the game but anyway we're headed out there cam come around the corner on this crate and it hasn't been started yet so that's a good signage probably means there's no one around at all I just looted the town and then hit in the supermarket next to the crate it's pop let's go check it out oh damn armored door rocket metal chest piece more guns okay you guys don't understand that Rocket's worth seven and a half Grand the door's like three or five grand uh the AKs like five grand to buy like that's some fat loot right there like that's why these lock crates are so important guys it's so much more money than anything else all right let's head back The Outpost I got a couple more things to sell all right okay heading back out different way this time we're gonna go kind of near the desert we're gonna mine some more nodes I'm not gonna grab as much Stone anymore just trying to grab everything I can and it's also a great way to get experience it's like 0.6 of a point at the time it doesn't sound like a lot but it is actually thank you can this never have enough wood even in vanilla you know you seem like you're cutting down trees every every hour you know you just shoot through it so fast the furnaces well this is half Gathering so I think how many trees I gotta cut down [Music] all right we got the wood let's fill the fill these bad boys up let's go out again [Music] we're just heading out to explore again and I remember this base was already here but now it looks like it's rated so let's hop in and find out what's happening I'd say maybe it's just decayed but there's a ladder on it so yeah someone's definitely been in here anyway I'll take this not really crazy juicy but you know definitely gonna take some of this stuff home not too bad actually come back and get the rest of it I think but uh this is probably the best of it [Music] foreign let's get out of here oh I like that who doesn't love free loot you know it's so much better for you watching the video and uh me actually sitting here watching all this recycle in real time there we go we're starting to make a little bit more money all the time now you know we went from making 100 200 300 bucks at the very very start running the road to now making you know four or five six seven eight nine ten thousand a run big difference okay guys this is why I've been grinding so hard um I've said it before in this video that having a base is like your biggest thing right if you don't have a base like you can't really do too much right like yeah how do you get up enough money to raid someone if you have nowhere to store it right so that that's a giant thing your bank machine Can Only Hold so much and uh you know when in This Server apparently you're not supposed to agree for anybody really badly so you know if you get rated apparently you'll stop most of your base all right we just added a whole bunch of new room in the base plus I'm gonna make the big upgrade to metal now I don't know why I don't have the footage before it but I had to spend 3 500 bucks on my TV you had to put the money in the TC and hit a button in the TC to upgrade it to let me upgrade my base to sheet metal and I had to have sheet metal components plus metal frags to do that I wasn't sure on the map of how much sheet metal would do all this uh but we managed to get the bottom two by one my TC's in all metal and then even the top two by one above it all metal too so we're rocking and rolling right now big big upgrades so my inner core is metal but I need to do some honeycombing and stone at least that's the cheaper material and I don't have enough metal otherwise so uh we were under the cement I have lots of stone left but I need to go to The Outpost and get a bunch of cement so we got some money from the TC I took one of my level bonuses which was the Hefty 5gs and uh we just went to jail post quick I skipped it and uh now we're building in I have tons of doors from running coastal town I always try to bring them back and I'm just amazing a whole bunch of different rooms just sectioning off every little square here even using ladder hatches just so there's just one little extra sheet or basically between me and the wild wild world out there all right [Music] this section is why you almost never want to build into a cliff unless you're doing it really specifically and you've found a little bit of practice otherwise you can't support your honeycombing very well I've had to be some super janky fix up to make it work and then it's kind of like half hollow just doesn't end up being strong but you know what never mind the positive attitude let's go oh okay let's get up on the roof that's funny filming up there I thought it'd be smart to make these all metal that way they can't get soft try to keep saying they're all foundations if someone's soft-sided this then they could probably get under that wall so that was really ridiculous base upgrades especially for a solo on this server on the very first day I'm playing still um my front door is still just a tad week we added a couple doors but I need some more locks that'll be done in the future but in the meantime I'm just gonna go check out this lock crate that just landed see if anybody's here all right so we started that crate and I don't want to sit in that uh boring little suburb it's a tiny tiny monument and wait 15 minutes so I'm going to run around West of this little place get some no plants okay we made it back with all that stuff I went to go Depot it all before we picked up our lock crate and we've had enough time to do all that and you can see my my good Goods here so really quickly I Depot all that and head back to my locked crate hopefully it's gonna be mine and there's nobody sitting there waiting for me I was just sitting there great to make sure it was safe from the trees you know like a little weasel zombie snuck up on me wow that's a really crappy crate some of the other ones I got before were worth maybe 10 20 grand this one I don't even think is worth five not good so we make it home with our meager locked crate loot immediately put that garage door to use and we work on building a little bit more of an airlock adding a couple more doors to the loot I got one last little thing to do I think before the end of day one and we are gonna go process all the drugs we got built up from running around so we're gonna exit our base make a quick run to the coastal town over there plop that all in the processor 15 seconds for each bundle and with the magic of editing it's done instantly so we're leaving the coastal town here then trudging up the mountains past my base into the Outpost to sell all these illicit drugs here I don't want you guys think I'm gonna make all of all this you guys see how valuable this uh this drug farming is on this and I don't even have a farm imagine if I had a farm this is just from running around picking the crap up that's my biggest payday yet way more than the components right okay so I run home like a little snake with all that money and after putting it on my TC I realized I'm like oh I got too much cash in my base and I got space in my ATM so I run back The Outpost max out my ATMs so it's money hopefully no one can steal if I get raided and then I run right back again all right with that that's gonna be the end of my day one footage killed a few people only died to an offline raid already rebuilt stronger than ever got a few long crates I'm stacked up ready for tomorrow let's see what the new Day brings if we make it all right I know the suspense was killing you but we made it through the night amazing I know so I didn't start recording right away I went to the coastal town ran it didn't get a ton but making some money that was our first stop so I take that loot home and uh I had to make dinner or something I think I was AFK for a little while so it got dark when I grabbed the keyboard again when I sat down again and I noticed there was a lock cranking coastal town so I had it there right away so freezing so cold prosperity so the whole time player doesn't served for like 10 days I never saw two create stacks on top of each other Plus open at the same time like this I'm not really sure what happened uh it was only AFK for maybe an hour or so or I don't know maybe an hour and a half but uh there's no one here I really don't understand I'm gonna take this and get the hell out of here so just a few seconds later I'm sneaking out of the town and I see this light that was probably the luckiest shots of my life in the dark there's a little bit over the crest of the Hill had an okay range yeah I'll take it all right so that was fun lock crate killed sempora unsuspecting bastard in the dark of the night uh we're gonna get back from across that armor door on my front door again so I've got all kinds of components built up guns from the crates uh just lots of different stuff from running coastal town just lots of odds and ends we're just gonna sell all that take the cash to have it base and then we're gonna try and buy uh anything we can we ended up with about 30 000 and I remembered I have 15 000 of my ATM so let's go get that too all right so let's get a couple C4 first we definitely need a launcher and we can afford two more Rockets all right then we're gonna put all the rest of whatever I have in the bank just in case all right we're gonna run home really quickly store all this stuff up [Music] something open all right so I've already got a few kills I want to try and get my first raid on here so I'm gonna go wander and see if I can find myself a base raid oh this is unfortunate lots of people aren't quite familiar with the building mechanics on This Server uh like I said it's the hardcore version more Nails cement or stone uh upgrades you need like I said the cement Ford upgrade to Stone and so on I already ran home we got some tools now we're on our way back let's get in there yeah it wasn't expecting too much but I didn't spend anything to get in here but you know still worth it okay we just did that that wasn't smart all right take the sensor off don't need that okay where is this guy what the hell is he doing oh there big fella oh I see you oh and look who it is we were just outside their base literally like three four minutes ago you're such a loser you [ __ ] door camping ass bag no dude wasn't horrible I don't think we'll count that on the raid counter though not quite uh not quite worth it I got big plans for the base I want to make it all metal I want to try to get it to armor some of it but I'm gonna need to cook a lot of metal in my furnaces and I think a lot of wood the Harvest rates really low on This Server so I got to cut a lot of wood I'm speeding it up a lot don't worry you hear me gotten some wood foreign like I was just saying I got big plans for the base so I'm gonna need a lot of metal ore um extra Stone I'm gonna need to find as many raw drugs in the forest if I look for the nodes is a good thing to do at the same time I don't know if you guys can tell but I'm a pretty big grinder in this game if you ever have a team I'm definitely someone you want on the team it may not be the best at PVP but I grind everything I'm gonna get you tons and tons of resources tons of everything always on the move and I need to make more money so I just ran back to the coastal town again oh those footsteps I almost thought that was a player he dusted him pays to creep around sound all the time I definitely heard him first at the sound surround I don't even think he knew where he was getting shot from right away I told you guys my aim is getting better look at that I think I only missed two or three shots of that burst so we did it we made it home we got everything uh after putting most of it away decide to go back to the Outpost we need to sell stuff guys okay let's see how much money we can make thank you okay we made two 10 G's after selling all that stuff now let's head to the recycler and recycle all these bullets and stuff I don't need for gunpowder and sell that too chaos to sell gunpowder see how much we get all right we made 1500 bucks in the gunpowder that's not too bad I don't know I don't have the footage but I bought some cement and then we deposited the rest of the money of course and then I'm heading back on to my base okay so once we're back on with that stuff you know I bought it for a reason so let's go use that on my base fill out some honeycomb on the outside make my bags even bigger I don't know what you guys but like building like this and fast motion isn't like setting a lot it just kind of left it in a little bit and obviously set it up just to show you how much of a renovation how much I have to add all the time and how expensive that is on this mod because everything is low gather rate needing Nails I need some cement not just so after you add another giant base upgrade we're heading to a locked crate very close by to my base I told you we're right in the center of it they always spawn at the little spots around me creeping through the bushes oh yeah being a creep can you think through the bushes well let's see what's inside all right we got home let's toss that our door on now why not right and then here's a look at uh just some of my loot getting pretty stacked up I would say just for day two after getting raided right away when I started all right we're going out again decided to go a completely different way going uh Northeast up into the desert to go to the mansion and what the Mansion is is a small Monument uh not as big as coastal town but it's got a blue card room in it so that's why we're going there all right we're here let's find the fuse place first okay Jam that in there let's get upstairs and yeah it's uh looks like someone's been here okay you got a P2 all right everything else regardless this was honestly a waste of time riding over here for this this is like this is the blue card room this sucks all right I came back from the mansion and I had to go AFP for a little while probably made dinner or something anyway when I came back it was pretty dark so I went out with the night vision goggles I had all the boom boom stored up and I figured I wanted to do something with it so I went out scouting as I'm out scouting pretty much uh right away this was really close to my base in the mountains I found this little uh [Music] kind of small it's like a two by two or two by three or something I'm thinking to myself you know what send it let's just do it this will be our first raid small enough to get a new plus he's upgraded his TC to uh so he could upgrade his base to metal this guy's obviously got a couple bucks let's try let's do it it's raiding time it's raining time it's the first race boys let's see if we can get some use out of this thing foreign nothing in that furnace oh that bag's got a couple okay things it's not worth the explosives though all right let's take this home and then come back I'm gonna break that box I'm gonna soft side this stone wall all right we're back nobody's sitting here waiting for us let's sign let's break this thing open that's a little bit better box we got Hazmat mads bullets night vision ladder a couple cards doors not that fancy but leaving something gotta be smart story when you can guys and one box all right let's get into that all right guns boards drugs all right well we're done here uh that definitely wasn't profit at all but we did our first raid we got rid of a really close neighbor um we got bullets and a gun and you know other stuff so let's just uh take that and move on all right just for showing off my TC notice showing off my best kind of Boombox we're logging off guys end of day two can he survive overnight again oh yeah we made it check that out not rated one more day after waking up I realized I need to cut down some more trees and while I was out there uh he uh noticed uh another base popped up really close to Outpost I'm like really close to me and it's pretty big it's a two by two full honeycomb so like oh it's a chopper on top wow okay you guys got to go next I think I'm just walking home from cutting that wood and what do I notice just over my shoulder out of the corner of my eye there's an event where a plane crashes and it drops usually two three or four of these crates so I don't know if it happens someone missed one but that's a really crappy crate you see something good in it a gun or armored door that's crap all right I go home with that wood I Stoke all those fires up and uh I head back out to that Mansion uh I don't remember if I went there would do a blue card and the crate just happened to be there or what was the plan but anyway there's a lock crate and I'm gonna do the boot card too [Music] and I realize there's two stacked on top of each other again it's a super rare thing that means nobody got the first one I think and then it randomly came to the same place again on the rotation yay me okay well those timers are set let's loot this blue card room in this Monument this one okay but everything else again is pretty trash this really does not seem to be worth it here at all for this foreign [Music] and I realize there's still a lot of time on the timer so I decided to leave and head home and as I hop on the horse I start getting shot at now I'm not sure what to do this is what I got from the Mansion like I said just really not that great okay getting home realized I need way more storage and just bringing home so much crap and stuff all the time as well so here we go all right Depot all that crap the crate's still not unlocked yet and now I'm just sprinting back on the horse I'm trying to creep up here the guy's sitting on the ridge to my uh to my East the small problem is I have no zoom and it's like kind of dark I can't really see him very well at all honestly like looks like a spec okay I think I see him all right I hit him once but this is not the weapon for this I'm thinking myself screw this I'm just gonna go for the crates like what am I doing messing around with this guy I'm getting really close and then I look at my map real quick and the crates are gone I'm thinking what the hell yeah I can't see them so I I checked right when I was coming up I think this guy's a teammate that snatched him when we were fighting that's my theory anyway that kind of pisses me off though because there's two stacked on top of each other that would have been a big payday so I wasn't gonna get too down and decided to just hit back up uh coastal town see what we can uh scavenge you know what I mean ended up getting a bunch of goodies nothing too crazy though so we'll get back home with all that eventually and I uh gather up all the the different raw drugs and stuff that I got it's time to go process that we need another I like going to coastal town to do it it seems like the bottom of the map is quieter uh it's further away from the Fresh spawns you've seen that I've run into people a couple times there but it hasn't really mattered too much right all right so we went there processed all that brought it all home we grabbed a bunch more random stuff ready to sell now we're going The Outpost thank you this was definitely a good trip to the Outpost meet a good seven something before I even sold all that uh process drugs and then like another 10 11k from that nice I recycle all that uh ammo and stuff or gunpowder and then I stupidly I don't go sell it for some reason but I do buy a rocket and a C4 to have my collection before heading home so I ran home with some boom boom there from The Outpost and I decided it's time to take some Level Up Rewards so let's open our phone and do that I guess that's kind of nice you can see that I'm gonna get cash on the next level that backpack's huge uh then level up so that's gonna be Base building supplies I'm running on a big node run it this is what I got this is what I brought home another lot pretty dropped at the suburbs underneath so we're heading out there to check that out all right so I sneak up there through the trees like I like to and uh I can see the Creek's not been turned on yet you could sign Nobody's around early so I kind of just rush it and turn it on I ended up hanging out waiting for the crate wow look how loaded that zombie is I had a bunch of stuffers from killing zombies and leaving that place where I lived so just ran home and deflated it real quick all right we're back now it's time to check that Credo it's okay nothing too fantastic but not the worst one we've had yet no boom boom though all right let's go sell everything we don't need again no sense in piling it up at the base all right we made a quick 6200 we're gonna fill up the bank to the max that I can right now and uh we're gonna head back home all right so we went home with all that put everything away go back up go back to coastal town again I'm just grinding how many times do you think I've ran coastal town so far right just that alone and then right back yeah they can do the Outpost you guys I'm a money making solo machine here I want to raid people bad foreign another 7K plus some beds and some ladders and some night vision and some dropboxes that's good all right back to coastal town but but there's a twist I'm just minding my own business in the town collecting stuff and then I hear some steps [Music] damn that's so lame somehow he shot me through the glass and I tried to shoot back through the glass but I hit nothing but a solid piece I guess that's uh just unfortunate luck for me but oh well not the end of the world [Music] all right I'm kidded back up and I didn't feel like rushing back there I didn't feel like the guy was just gonna sit there with all the loot and I decided to go out looking around again and I ended up finding another base on the other side of outpost like right on the edge of it again this space popped up in day two uh and it's metal on Stone honeycomb there's a helicopter sitting outside this seems like it would be juicy definitely this looks like the spot I would rate into for sure it looks like you can't place honeycomb because of the land Escape that's honestly what it looks like to me hmm let's check her on the other side just in case let's be sure what this thing looks like as best we can the way this is built now I'm not that sure I almost want to blow in right here but uh it kind of looks like there's a door on the far end actually so this would not be the best place it seems like now so as I'm leaving now I can't really decide whether I want to raid this base or the other base that's just on the other side of outpost here either way whoever I end up choosing to raid I'm gonna need more boom boom so I need money let's sit back up guess where I'm not really sure why I went with such a crappy kit maybe I was just hoping to get my stuff back from my dead body or I knew I'd find clothes in the town well yeah the guy that killed me must have been stacked because he left most of my body here just pretty much everything okay got pretty lucky there so just finished running it down nothing too special all right again another successful run make it home with all that and uh I get the the idea in my head that I could use another little base a backup base with uh you know what I mean a kid or two in it not too far away from mine but just you know in case I get read I don't have to start from zero kind of thing [Music] so it's nothing fancy it's just a two by one and it's in between my base and the coastal town so it's another little drop off uh it's kind of secure and uh yeah pretty easy all right we're all done with that I run home get rid of that crap and then I decide to go back to coastal town again it's paying me I'm getting good stuff every time I go plus I'm getting PVP sometimes I'm killing people kills me well I'll check on the loot on that zombie you can get almost anything I feel like from them the loot's always a little random but there's you know comps and construction items armor lots of armor roadside stuff to sell yet again back at home all right so now instead of getting our level up bonus we're gonna get skills we're gonna use our skill points from completing quests and I'm going to use it to get more money from selling dope it's a cool system they keep changing a little bit every time but there's uh different skill trees um on the Bandit skill tree if you haven't noticed all right yes I know I know back to coastal town but these are like 15 20 minute runs guys at least if not longer and it's taking seconds so and just showing you I'm grinding grinding crazy Loot and like I said sometimes this stuff happens all right I get out of there with one more big Gaggle allude bring that stuff home and I I go through my boxes I put the stuff away I want to keep I grab all the stuff I want to sell and then we're off The Outpost we got to make some money we gotta finance my boom booms here yeah it takes forever to sell all this stuff like I can never remember everything I have in my inventory to sell so I have to like sell something open my inventory look open my inventory look anyway um yeah and then eventually uh I buy a C4 at the very end so I take that boom boom home and I realize I'm like oh I got a level bonus waiting for me so I take my level bonus and then I think oh yeah I've got money in the ATM dude so I use that stuff and uh together now I can really get some more uh more explosives to play with wow all that money doesn't seem to go very far only and I've got an extra Rock and an extra C4 out of all that that's okay though um we're gonna use another level bonus because somehow we just gained a level we're gonna get some Building Supplies too who doesn't love that all right I think I have enough to pull off a raid now so I'm just gonna go check that other guy's base the first one I looked at um it doesn't look like a terribly complicated design just trying to think of where the loot would be based on the front door you know kind of question if it's on the second floor you know in the honeycombing etc etc I think I'm gonna pick Base number two I think it has a flaw in it you couldn't build his honeycomb right where uh the mountain that little rock out crop is I think that's what I'm banking on just use this to check where exactly the wall starts and let's send this foreign guys think do we hit loot right away unboxing straight away that's a good sign pesky box deal with that way do we go though maybe this way empty boxes all right let's do here it's just the way upstairs okay I don't know if the loot's upstairs I would doubt it take a little look outside here just before we continue at least they've just been sheet doors that's funny as soon as I say that all of a sudden armor and garage door okay I don't have enough on me to break both those but I have a little bit more at home so I'm going to grab it real quick okay I got everything let's go back and finish oh that's terrible I don't know if you use door cams with me follows me home what happened there but uh that was the last of my boom boom guys I don't think I can finish the raid now I don't know what I would do to finish I don't have any money nothing I'm not rage quitting or anything that was just the last thing I did before I logged off and it didn't go too well I'm out of Boom so that's it tonight anyway guys I'm just showing off my loot a little bit before I do that uh who knows what's gonna happen if I'll make it or not right all right we're logging in day four did we make it yes we did let's start the day with a nice coastal town run why not so I'm just looting minding my own business and it's kind of dark but I see this guy by the recycle over there thank you [Music] all right he's clearly panicked low Health he's also terrible this might go well I got an idea let's use this grenade to scare him out real quick oh and look who it is killed me a little while ago [Music] revenge is always so sweet okay I made it home obviously showing you all the weed here putting it all away and we open up his backpack he's stacked in the backpack too it's funny saying are you stacked in the backpack oh there's a big drop box at the front door of my base there when it gets full I try to go sell everything so it's pretty close to full let's go sell everything foreign all right I want to upgrade my base so I need 7 500 bucks but I'm going to deposit everything else I can into the bank here uh it's just gonna cost him 7 500 to upgrade my TC so we can get another layer of protection upgrade the base to armored walls that guy had some poker chips in this backpack that I just killed so I've decided to use them real quick oh yeah baby triple up let's run it again come on baby man that was so close we're set up that's uh that's a that's a con job right there all right we're home time to put that money in the TC press the upgrade button this is how you do it so like I was saying now I can upgrade any part of the base to armored but it's expensive it takes Nails sheet metal and metal frags and high quality metal to do that really expensive trying to stay at the main floor of the based on all that armored at least make sure you get all the foundations all the walls okay we did that we got some left over still that's good we're gonna make upkeep pace is now stronger than ever so nothing much else has happened no crates no raids no nothing really was popping right now just started to run coastal town fast always seem to find some decent stuff there people that run and then uh I realize that there's a lot crate up suburb next to my base so we're heading over there now looks pretty quiet here nothing happened foreign should be open let's go back with our night vision [Music] the night vision's so huge especially on This Server you can kind of get them semi easily so as long as you're out there exploring you should have some sets or something that's really not that great so I did all that an hour or two I didn't have long and then I had to go to work I think I was gone maybe five or six hours and uh yeah and come back to uh get invaded by the same guys as the first time spawn back in just to see if there's anything left greeted by my own track foreign check out the damage here and they blew the stone wall and then they blew armored wall so I don't know decently expensive raid for them all right I gotta seal this thing up real quick let's see if we got anything I can use that we can call a jacket and carry a little bit more let's get to work we need a bit of everything right now I'm getting wood Stone metal uh hitting boxes uh we get pretty lucky here and I find uh all right next step is to head to the Outpost and take some money out of our bank account and that's why we always leave some money on our bank account that way if we get hurt we get raided that we got something to bounce back we can at least repair the base straight away right trying to use that money now to buy some Base building supplies and I gotta remember to save 3 500 bucks because otherwise I can't upgrade my TC and my brand new TC will not be able to build any metal in my base it will limit me and only be able to make Stones so anyway I need that money okay so right there I'm upgrading my PC and then we're restoring the walls all right let's make our way upstairs and secure the rest of the base and when I do that I'm all about the walls at least minimum super easy target if someone wanted to pick on me again all right we're solid for now and then I realized I actually had a machine gun kit in my locker still so let's grab that and let's head out I saw on the map that there is a lock created coastal town so that's where we're heading sir is kind of funny because lots of times there's tons of people on this Earth and then other times it gets pretty quiet and I'm always wondering why no one's around a challenge before crates so before I started the create and after I looted to town a bit now I'm just running at home while the timer goes down and I will Depot all that stuff and then we'll head back I realized there was another lock created The Mansion to the Northeast so I figured I'd go start that one and then head back and pick up the other one okay somehow this is here and not open that's huge all right let's get that home and uh let's Depot that quick and now let's head back to the mansion to see if that other crate is unlocked right now that needs a minute so let's just hang out all right that crate is still playing what do we get all right not too bad not too bad the C4 makes up for it that's really good though we just got 3c4 in like a half an hour not even just lighting lock crates that nobody even challenged us on that just saved me over 33 000 buying it all right so yet again back in coastal town but we're here for a different reason there's an event here called uh control Zone I haven't really done that before so we're gonna figure that out I think I gotta stay in here for a certain amount of time and I guess I'm gonna get rewards at different points or maybe the end etc etc yours all right so I'm in the control Zone and uh the server will be starting just so bear that in mind but I'm also gonna go through here and I'm gonna show you the different rewards for your RP points so you can open cases with that different cases can randomly be different things so uh that's what you do with them if you're curious all right so I got those rewards and the server was restarting just as the Zone was ending I wasn't sure what would happen there um it turns out uh I don't know if you get a reward for finishing the control Zone sorry because the server restarted it ended up giving me nothing so uh that's that all right enough of that let's get out of there build a zombie with the Tommy that's always nice at least a thousand bucks okay make our way home all right this guy's base is right across from Outpost right next to mine I don't like that it's been here for a little while it looks kind of Juicy let's give a little inspection here nothing too crazy he's got some armor he's got metal looks like the juice is going to be in there I think he's gonna definitely be the next Target it's kind of boring but I went up for some notes don't worry I'll sped it up real good okay that was a miner now I'm back to close to town zombies even if it's not for the most checking them for Loop but they have a really good experience too and I'm always trying to level up to get those level bonuses so it's huge thank you nice another pretty armor door from a zombie never ending zombies here [Music] oh nice that's a good zombie too AKA Expo that's like 3 500 bucks at least and another armor door wow okay that's pretty lucky to get in one run because they're not that common all right there's a lock crate just got dropped at the Mansion we're headed over the desert now let's go all right all the zombies are dead we can start the crate here we do a really quick run on the inside and then we head home all this stuff and come back to check on the crate all right no time to waste Depot that head back out [Music] all right we're back for the crate always creeping up nobody was there so we grab it nothing done nothing too fancy but turret could be helpful all right we're in the Tommy's nice um yeah yeah nothing really that special otherwise foreign [Music] crates on This Server don't seem very good all right we're done with that pile of hot garbage let's go home all right still trying to figure out the best way to make money is so I just kind of keep buying coastal town as it's making me money it's getting me gear sets it's getting me random stuff and I'm seeing people once in a while so let's keep that up all right I got a bunch more and headed home uh when I got back to the base I noticed uh there had been a plane crash if that's one of the events on the server so I headed there to see what I could recover okay the crates look like they're not on fire anymore I must be a little late to get here and nobody's touched them and get the hell out of here okay double explosive ammo that's that's not too bad usually there's a third crate though you can't see it anymore I knew money making way on This Server now seems to be is uh going for walks in the forest for free dope because uh yeah if you notice this I just uh kind of walked at certain areas of the map obviously not in the desert obviously not in the snow but you find Patches of these little tree kind of little foresty areas right and uh look at the look at the amount of stuff I'm finding level and we got some explosive grenade rounds from too okay I make it back with my uh my Harvest basically and I decided yeah I've got a lot of stuff I just brought home and then stuff a face so let's go process this and uh you know either get ready to sell it or store it until we do sell the rest of our stuff find a shotgun a few other quick cool things while I'm waiting to process all that stuff Gotta Wait 80 seconds in between each batch so instead of taking that all the way home I just Depot that at our new little base that's a little closer to the coastal town and uh you know when I want to come back I was going ahead straight back into the coastal town but then I saw the helicopter gonna drop off a lock crate at the suburbs there right next to me I figured I'd be the first one there you know nice that pistol's a thousand bucks in the bullet sort of worth at least another thousand almost okay let's start this thing up and we'll run to coastal town and run that we'll uh we wait for the timer I didn't realize when I came here but it's another control Zone starting so we're gonna try and run that for as long as possible and see if there's uh you know a really good end reward remember last time we tried this uh the server reset right at the end that we missed out to find out it's bored hanging out while I wait for the control Zone don't hear anything so we get some level Rewards foreign here's what we've been waiting for do I get a big big bonus for the end of the control Zone no it looks like a big fat nothing well that's that's really stupid okay not worth doing damn zombies man they come out of nowhere I think you're done and then just like right up on you all right what do we get um okay all right I need money like always so let's go get all those drugs that we processed and left another base foreign we're going to take that back to the main base we're gonna go grab everything else that I want to sell right now along with those drugs or ticket to Outpost and get that money how much money will we make this time I keep thinking about how we were making like 100 200 300 if we run up to start hitting barrels and how slow that was all right we ended up making a little over 27 000 that is not bad and what do we do with it we need to toss it into the bank machine and we just used our level bonus to get a higher limit so I can put in 20K now which is actually pretty sweet let's do that and head back to the base saved up enough money you can upgrade again now we can uh place these metal walls with armored walls again and we're just a little bit tougher foreign and make that a little bit better there we go all patched up for now I'm just gonna get some more stuff making metal in a little bit here I don't want to leave it Stone I'm just gonna go thank you all right so we sold all that eight nine grand whatever came back scroll that away and then pop right back out too much uh as I was finishing I found a plane crash and it was one from earlier I picked up the other two but remember I was wondering if there was a third one well there was and it's been here for hours okay I got locked I had to stop those fires get those furnaces rolling and uh it was time for me to lock this is the end of day four we bounced back today guys but what's gonna happen tonight when I log off we're loading in we're loading in we're loading in okay we made it all right we spawned we look at the map right away and I can see there's a locked crate down at the coastal town looks like where we're heading first so I'm just killing zombies for experience this one drops a GL I know that doesn't seem that crazy on its own but every other zombie drops which is super useful on This Server right all right we're gonna start that crate now killed this guy on the way up for some more cool loot I can always use some scopes as I was going to run home I noticed there was another crate at the mansion and I saw this horse so you know just worked out real good so I was leaving gonna go back to the base and the horses out of food directly we found a car well that ended up being a pretty good trip plus I still got to go get those two lock crates [Music] that's another low money value crate no explosives just a couple guns and a door baby all right we're here for the Moment of Truth let's just get this [ __ ] the hell back home quick here all right we got back home I had to probably eat for a little while or so there's now it's night time and I am running the coastal town nothing too crazy no action just some uh some decent items all right just run that all home just like usual I get home I decide you know I'm pretty sure I'm gonna need some more kits ready so I do that quick too [Music] yeah I was just uh really stuck on trying to make progress here and I really didn't know any other Monument besides you know trying to run again to get drugs uh there was no reliable other way of money so I just keep going to coastal town it's actually working there's just it's such a big town there's so many zombies that there's just always lots of loot thank you all right I run the town I bring it all back I get some decent stuff and I head back to coastal town again I know but you know sometimes I find someone sometimes something happens in this time something happens wow there is some big ass raid going down it is very close I did a little bit of scouting and I didn't uh record that part of it or show on the editing but uh there is a really giant three-man base just east of here on the coast and uh we should go check that out all right under the cover of Darkness on creeping over don't worry I've got my silencer and night vision too that's it right there I think I was only sitting there for like a minute ago I was like barely peeking my head I don't know if I was silhouetting myself against the sun here but that's pretty uh pretty good that he saw me that's their Scrappy they're all just right in there oh is that just a knee did they just try to blow up their own Chopper what the this is probably a dumb idea look at them from here but I can't see nothing damn it what the hell was that maybe I shouldn't sit here I'm gonna get it moving damn it I feel like they're watching me two people at least no nobody's killing me oh my God I got up but I got no weapons no this guy with a silence gun killed this guy is J-Rock he's been in the chat talking like a little leech just a little uh nut sucker these uh this big group just begging them for scraps and now he's outside defending their raid telling oh I helped you I helped you I saved you from the counter Raider felt like it would be hard to go back there and do anything and saying there's like at least two different groups there if not more um anyway decided to just go to a different crate on the mansion and then he was already there he already started the crate and I'm dead admittedly slightly frustrated I went to coastal town almost naked because whatever I needed there real easy so I just spawned close and that's what I did so I was telling you that little J-Rock guy was not hugging those uh the dudes that raided That Base just now he was uh conversing with them in chat asking them to leave them scraps and they were saying oh the base will be free in five minutes you can come get all the scraps so I headed over there with some guns to Ambush them I go move and reposition I haven't seen him yet I'm not sure if he's come or gone if he's inside or what so I'm just looking around scanning The Horizon and oh there he appears he just popped out of the base now if I can just hit my shots [Music] come on baby yeah can you believe that all my millions and millions of followers and subscribers and Watchers I got him I always got some juice on him too he's got a lot of bullets he's got some metal frags he's got armor and teas he's got Nails he's got a little backpack Hazmat not too shabby well we gotta get back there quick to make sure there isn't more just sitting there okay so I'm trying to kind of not really creep up but I want to make sure I see him if he's going in or out again okay well whatever let's just get in there then I guess hmm I don't hear him so far I haven't heard a Pete this whole time this is a weird ass looking base it kind of looks like a big ship or something like that I don't know if that's what they're doing I put a couple shots into the wall right next to his head I should have had that okay well I'm not that great but he doesn't seem that great either so I think I can take him let's head back there right away and hopefully he's still there or coming back at least again I brought the rifle back again and sat on that Cliff for a while but he never showed I figured I'd just head on in you know what I mean see if there's anything left damn he must have been really full when he just killed me because he didn't take my gun or anything really wow this is definitely a huge base and it's all armored I'll keep on this thing must be huge lots of stuff I don't need they got a lot of scraps be some clones I don't know I don't like having a farm I'm never gonna have a farm hmm a scrumptious Feast Don't Mind If I Do feels like there's gonna be a lot left I'm gonna make some room in my inventory here plus like what is this water over here holy that's a lot of bullets uh yeah I'll take that lots of myth I don't really need Stone stuff like that kits are cool the metal kits I can sell I just get changed and picking everything up and I hear some footsteps oh damn that was close I almost bled out and everything oh that was nice of them to come back to bring us some PVP my kit back and the backpack all right we're getting as full as we can and all the like metal gear and Jack Hammers and anything like that that I can sell at The Outpost and then we are gone whew made it home with another full inventory of loot thanks to their raid not bad I went back again just to get some more stuff just to make sure I figured out pretty much anything I could sell free stuffs free stuff you know okay so we did that we went back to the base we got it all bundled up in my inventory and now we're off to the Outpost to sell what we can see what kind of money we made oh okay we made a full 10 ground there we go ferry that home real quick and I think I got some more stuff to sell so we're gonna head right back again after it's all said and done I think we're just shy of 18 G's that's awesome okay so uh all together you know I don't know if it was all just from The Raid but most of it was it's like at least let's say 25k not bad for just hanging out against the PVP doing something different at least it wasn't running coastal town again you know foreign you guys know what the goal of all this money is it's all got uh it's all got a specific purpose it's going on a piggy bank just to raid that other next base that's right next to us here's the Outpost it's right next to my base and The Outpost that can't exists it's got metal it's got armor I guarantee you there's some juice in there we need to get it gone but before we do that we gotta make sure we're not too easy with Target I was talking earlier about replacing those back stone walls with metal so we're gonna spend like just even a little bit of the money we made right now on some sheet metal and stuff okay now we can make some sizable upgrades definitely and we got all those free nails from The Raid too right here we go big upgrade time you actually need sheet metal Nails metal fragments and high quality to do metal walls in the armored walls so it's like crazy expensive hey um what's up foreign want to but I had to spend a little bit more money on materials to kind of finish the upgrade you can see how extensive and upgrade of it is uh also like I said that it requires sheet metal for each piece um and frags so this isn't that uh that vanilla you know original mode of Daisy uh project Lazarus that you see Brit play this is the Hardcore one you know thank you your base is so much more important on This Server than on normal Rust servers normal server it's not ads hard to get going on this one if you don't have a base it's so hard to build a new base so uh you just need it foreign all right after all that there shouldn't be more than one like little odd Stone piece on the whole thing uh very expensive like I said all armored doors uh it's at least a metal wall and an armored wall to loot and that's if you picked a perfect way and uh maybe actually one more than that uh just because you got to go down a floor but uh some ways it's much more than that anyway that's what we're working with right now I feel like it's a pretty random design there was no plan solo on our top Harvest thank you so I'm just out here getting Rocky stuff and uh I'm completing quests just by accident kind of like that incentive tossing all the stone that I farmed I just did it for experience I've got a pretty full load head back see this car let's grab that okay get home it's like Beyond handy that cars spawn with parts and gas on the server uh it just makes getting around so much easier kind of crappy I went at night time but felt like I wanted to go and explore more than Maps so I went and took the car went for a long drive just looking for places and stuff like that I drove around aftermath and then I realized it was one of those plane crash events right next to Lazarus town so I looked back over there I've been watching it they're right in front of the car and I'm like where are they that's not a bad crate where's the next one no here we are oh that was not bad I like it indoors and uh Rockets and eventually after a lot of searching I find the last one and it's bullets and nowhere that's not too bad we're really close to the base so I just drove home all right I drove around and explored got a plane crash I'm gonna go back to where I dropped off my car and what do I find here that uh that person that was all upset at me Sable their base is decaying looks like I wonder what kind of goodies they'll have for us let's just pretend that box is completely empty because it basically was no trap under here okay and nothing in there all right all right that's like three grand worth of drugs nothing too exciting in those two boxes but I'm full of other stuff so I'm just gonna run that home and grab some more tools to break into the rest [Music] all right oh there she is the angry ladies himself nothing and then okay finally something that's good A little bit of building stuff nice Nightfall all right plus some rifle animal pistol ammo Expo bullets a couple has these night vision military backpack Jackie okay that was definitely worth uh the zero I spent to get in here okay just gotta go break the TC and a couple more small things thank you well I guess that's why it's decaying it's not just over there'd be some cash in there you know a little bit of stuff in the locker too take that and uh that's it that's all she wrote from uh Staples base thanks again while we were finishing up there at tables base I noticed a notification come across for uh the Chinook's gonna drop one of those hackable crates at coastal town so that's where we're headed now get number 15. all right so I was running around looting the town after starting the crate and the server's gonna restart so I just parked upstairs in a different spot as you can see I don't think I'm in a weird spot I'm not on a chair I'm not in the air in a weird way I'm just literally on the second floor of a building hiding behind something and when I load in guess what I'm dead to nobody too which sucks so that was just a glitch so I guess we're just gonna run back see if we can get our stuff and the crate Etc and when I get here there's nothing now I live really close it only takes a couple seconds to get here it just disagrees my body that was a glitch dying's one thing but then making me lose my whole run here at coastal town that sucks that lock crate wasn't open yet so uh I just deported all the loot I'd gathered so far in my little close base and then ran back in there to get all that stuff all right it's time to find out far now great I don't know if I expected nothing uh when the screen's like this all around the edges it basically means I'm infected uh it's gonna last for a minute or two and it's just draining my health like crazy so if you don't have uh anti-bacterial medicine which is anti-rads uh you're healing a lot all right I went on that run like I said here's what I got and then here's my inventory now after as we're getting ready to go take everything I had for drugs at the base and go processing just gonna run it over to my trusty spot at coastal town I can hop on the roof when I'm there just right next to it and kind of see all around me a lot better okay we toss it in and then I fast forward a bunch because you do not want to wait 80 seconds times each batch all right we did that usually when I go process the drugs to I have a bunch of other stuff to base I want to sell so go back to base we get all the other stuff added up with the drugs now we're heading uh to The Outpost cash in foreign just for the drugs that time that is a big payday [Music] after selling all that I kind of realized I went up a few levels and last time I did something so I opened up my little menu and I uh bring it up and now I can find out I can up my ATM capacity a bit here which is super helpful but this money is not destined for the bank this money is destined for boom boom all right we're gonna take that home store that we're gonna take some more stuff from the base we're gonna go sell it okay it wasn't that much I only made five grand so that's okay five grand though and then I have some more level bonuses to get uh actually have some cash in there like 10 minutes so that's handy and then we're gonna grab a bunch of money out of my ATM here to grab 14k I believe it would be available 20. we're gonna start buying some more rating materials because I really want to get this thing pop in all right we got about 30 grand so we're gonna do the same thing I think I'm gonna get 2c4 and one rocket I like the C4 it kind of has a solo it makes rating sometimes a little quicker than trying to have to reload the rocket launcher so many times all right you can see the explosives are starting to build up but uh I don't know if it's quite enough yet take some money from the TC that I got stored up and let's go buy some more all right we buy that we take it home yeah no big surprise okay then I decide to use my 3750 RP reputation points it's up in the top left of the screen underneath my level uh that was been building up for when you get a kill or when you do those control zones stuff like that and then there's different crates you can have and then it's basically a random thing to see if you get the good Prize or not so we're gonna do that a bunch so out of all that the only really decent thing I felt like I got was a launcher and maybe the instant um he I don't know if it gives me just one though or two or three or what so that doesn't seem that great there was another lock crate that just dropped at the suburb which is super close to my base so I headed there [Music] oh I'll get back here you're not going nowhere uh oh where'd he go that sucks no damn bro that wasn't a slug well I'm definitely not going in there foreign doesn't seem like he has another gun okay we got him but he hit me with that crossbow it's not a bad shot that's for sure but damn he had the poop Loot on him and uh I make the mistake here guys of not finishing him often time and he dies or he f1s himself either way but I don't get the reward points the art Redemption points the RP points whatever the hell you call it because I didn't finish him [Music] but uh yeah the crate didn't open for like another seven eight minutes so uh he never tried to come back I don't think he had much all right we're home with that stuff uh if you can see my inventory there we've got a bunch of good stuff to sell I've got a sacrifice uh that extra launcher I just got a good eight gig of both all that good stuff just to make some more money for this raid foreign K there uh and decided that I was gonna empty the whole piggy bank that we were gonna go send it this time all right we can afford two more C4 I think that's it and then we are gonna get this raid pop and all right home you can see what we got 11c4 we've got three rockets a bunch of explode a bunch of he grenades got incense we got a supply signal and even a couple satchels so just within the last day I think yeah I've got a turret and to win the luckily just be picking up crates and drops Etc we're gonna use that build a little raid base here next to it because this is going to be a lot of boom boom just getting used and I don't want anybody coming to counter all right okay let's go set up the power first we got to get that windmill up there boom okay let's go drop place the turret whatever pretty lack now connect it boom shakalaka we got a turret all right I didn't bring the boom yet I just set up the free base now we're gonna go back get that get started bringing pretty much everything besides all the incense let me come back if I need them but I don't see any turrets so okay let's deep almost to that and uh let's throw the supply signal that I got earlier too here night time's a good time to throw it and I also got a turret here so I don't know why not and we are not having to wait for the daytime I brought night vision just so we can get this started right now foreign to be honest okay let's go through that that's obviously the juice I think the satchels will break that okay we're in and I see TC okay let me just switch my gear around real quick okay this is looking good let's uh let's break one more door before we get in there and seal it I want to make sure I build it so that the door I put down is like directly facing my turret I think what's going on right now is I'm desperately searching for a door and I go through a lot of the loot here and I can't find one right away so after I pick this guy clean and everything just so I couldn't have a gun or whatever I uh I get out of there and I think I have to run home to get one all right so what else drop off a little bit of Loop and grab that or head back my airdrop that I called with that Supply signals here that's nice C4 and a rocket that's awesome great timing that's clutch all right let's get in there and slap this new ugly door on there let's continue the boom boom all right beds and another sleeper so far it was at least Duo boys all right back up and let's use those uh grenade all right another door and we broke half of this one all right where did that get us all right we got kits and we got oh we got boom boom nice oh God kind of seems like we just found all the best loot but I really want to see what's behind all these other doors all right what do we get what do we got what do we got 100 hike ball a kit some Nails no not too bad okay well let's keep going foreign [Music] thank you [Music] more doors great at least that one got splashed all right looks like you found some loot again wow that's a lot of shells there's the doors I was looking for yeah yeah not worth all the boom boom to come up here if I had just quit while I was ahead oh my God foreign Rockets wasted just to find the the entrance to the base to the top at least I can pick up this window over here with my hammer no I guess I'm just a completionist at this point here we got a break all right that leads us right back around to where we blew in the first time all right now we have literally searched everything in this space I was just getting looped together to leave and I hear a car running around thinking where is this guy sounded like he was gone but now he's back again who does this guy think he is man down man down oh it's this guy from earlier killed him before all right let's get back to our pillaging here we are literally as close to Outpost as you can build uh so I'm just gonna run it right there and sell it foreign G's there we're gonna toss it right in the ATM so we can't lose it or have it stolen replenish my Supply all right grab another full load of stuff there we'll take it back to sell that too we got about 18 and a half thousand that time not bad so I think that's what 38 000 from The Raid so far grab another bunch of stuff take it back sell it I think we make another about seven Grand so we're up to what 45 and now I dropped that little bit of cash off there and we go inside and we're starting to grab all the kids stuff that I wanted to take home with all the leftover explosives any building supplies anything just you know good quality clearly I'm gonna have to come back at least once more all right drop that off let's go back get more I want all these Rockets the high qual that kind of stuff [Music] all right I really didn't want to leave any scraps behind I figured if I could recycle the shotgun shells and make money that way why not all right just gotta come back here to get the turret and take the door off the base and we're done foreign nobody else came around during all the explosions then we call it in the supply drop [Music] s damn there's so much stuff there looks like I do have to come back yet again to get the turret and the last of it it's a very uh profitable raid despite wasting a little bit of extra stuff at the end I knew those guys would have a lot of loot in there just look at a simple kind of Base that a helicopter and a horse outside all the time it was armored in front of their base was upgraded like Mr TC anyway you know all right officially one more raid done so it's a new day and there's yet another locked parade at the suburbs Southwest of my base let's go I didn't know what those sounds were but I think this guy was trying to fight the zombies with a melee weapon at that same time just over at the Mansion which is northeast of my base uh there was another lock crate so it just ripped across there while we're waiting for one to open to start the next one so I'm back at the suburbs waiting for the crate to unlock and I just want to run into a house while I wait so I'm not standing in the open and yeah this guy's sitting here waiting for me I had absolutely no idea he was there he must have heard me kill the Zombies and uh just sat and waited unless they create sc4 Rockets or gold or something like that it's a shitty crate to me that's the value of it is just so much less okay we default that one let's head back to the mansion and check on that crate damn man I'm getting no luck this is like this is like zombie all right we take uh that lock crate home and uh I decide I need to uh do some scouting that J-Rock guy must live in the desert near that last base he's able to come back and forth pretty quick and uh yeah I'd like to find out where he lives if not uh you know in the next raid Target so it's always good to have those things ahead of time [Music] look at this Oddity of a base all Stone windmill off by itself on a separate building for some reason foundations are pretty high probably a bunker you know what just based on where this is I think that was j-rock's base I search around I find some more rated stuff now I just start making my way home I'm pretty sure I found what I was looking for all right that was it for day five what'd you guys think of that had a little bit of action out of the raid uh just kind of show it off a little bit of loot just in case we get rooted overnight uh yeah I'll check you guys out tomorrow to survive good all right start at day six it's beautiful we're not rated we made it again we're rich Let's do stuff all right [Music] then I had to go sell some more odds and ends I don't know I keep getting these things from but I guess I brought it home yesterday you make about 12K and we take that home out to the bank stash we got in my PC here brings us up to another like 35 Plus another I think 20 in the bank account so we're up to like 55 again not too shabby all right another lock crate in coastal town let's go all right and lock crate number 19 what are we gonna get one like it's better to punch in the mouth but not by much free card is waiting for me don't mind if I do I'm not dropping this load off at the base we're going right now for us to sell it [Music] another 10 G's not too bad I don't know if it's getting to a point of ridiculousness for you yet but it seems like there's almost always crates spawning if there wasn't I would do something else but if there was what's the point like it's potential thousands and thousands of dollars right anyway we're heading back to the mansion there's another Creek there foreign [Music] oh it seems like someone else was looking for that crate too when I got out just in time I don't know who that was to this day but he's a dick so I'm getting all loaded up here I'm gonna go do large oil rig that's my plan right now so I can go down this one skill tree and use some of my skill points to get a supply signal that will calm me down a rowboat basically uh that's all I need right now I just need some way to get there without going to a fishing Village I think I'm set let's make our journey it's funny I'm just running along the water and I had no idea there was one of those plane crash events right here on the beach foreign backpack before I went but uh yeah let's call down this boat and head out there now that I can see it right in front of me so just after I threw my row boat the server reset uh I ended up not losing a row boat but uh what happened was large rig was up and then uh now it's down as I drive out there I finally Drive the boat out there after the reset and oil rigs down uh no one no one's taken it uh but that was a big piss off coming out here getting the boat and everything so now I'm thinking to myself okay I'll go break into the Lazarus bank and do that just as I get all this stuff and leave someone else does it so I Depot my stuff and now I'm gonna go counter them breaking into Lazarus Bank tried to kind of sneak through the city a little bit only to have like 50 zombies chased when I finally get to the bank so my whole element is surprise is kind of ruined there okay I wonder if he's sitting here waiting okay I guess he dipped out I don't know if he went home or what he's doing got you boy got you look who it is look who it is couldn't have happened to a nicer person oh I get a little payback so it was nice right he still had like eight and a half minutes left he never came back so I couldn't resist spraying a clip with these guys straight to the Outpost next to my base to sell all this stuff 19-5 from stealing that guy's bank heist that's not too bad didn't cost me nothing but a couple bullets foreign I'll get another rocket the C4 on you buddy Jay Rock baby Jay Rock baby oh damn I'm just just running home from Outpost to drop that stuff off and gets his dog he now he's resorted so this guy was a little upset with me now he didn't like the tables getting turned but you know you got to be careful when you pick on someone like me spends a lot of time on the server because uh I already scouted and I already am pretty sure I found his base so uh we're gonna have to pay this guy back I've already got some stuff built up from the last raid already again and uh that's gonna be my goal for today is to make him happy and not so good okay 20K from the banks and now we're gonna run large oil that's gonna get us tons of loot tons of money that wasn't a bad start but now they're all piling down on the staircase underneath where I can't shoot them and they only come up when I really expose myself so I figure I'll throw this grenade and kill them all well the grenade hits the right spot and hits them but they kill me and it leads to frustration now I don't like to give up and I was annoyed so I had to get back out there I had to run all the way across the map to the East and buy a boat and then sail All the Way South to get to the rig again except I couldn't buy a boat because they didn't bring enough money it's a separate cost in the server so or luckily there was one sitting out in the water I had to swim to it for a bit though all right so now I'm back but they're rushing me and I didn't plan for this and I got a feeling I'm gonna get [ __ ] up out here oh I don't like wasting time like this having to like go all the way back you know any like extra pop that I would have made by doing a good Monument has lost any efficiency due to me having to go back three times no more messing around foreign still there okay sweet okay I had to swipe the red card again even though I was in here didn't get that much from that crate and we're gonna count that as a lock Crate by the way on my Tally thing um well I guess there's at least a C4 in here doesn't seem that profitable these other green crates are [ __ ] I think I'm gonna declare that a waste of time for me at least especially since I died so much I guess I forgot to edit it in but uh I had a spy signal from all that I threw it when I got back to base and now it's down taking all my money from the PC at base and everything else I had to sell and I'm gonna buy some more explosives okay we sell all that come over here the bank machine it's filled up and we'll take it all out I'm going all out again on a raid look at that beautiful Cash 85 G's in my hands six more C4 and two more rockets that is a big chunk of boom boom right there all right I have 60 he grenades I have eight C4 I have five rockets and I have a hundred and ninety explore rounds let's break into J Rock's base at least what I think is j-rock's face anyway where to break in where to break I think I'm just gonna smash that wall I'm just looking out there but let's go up top and have a look see um looks like your fan or two by two design wow nothing very special I do think it's a bunker though because the foundations are quite High I brought a raid base and everything with all the turrets everything I needed except I didn't bring nails and cement so I just said [ __ ] it I stashed my re-based supplies [Music] all right all right I was expecting metal that's okay make sure nobody's right next to us here nobody seems to be coming oh I'm glad this is an armored let's go see what we broke into oh a couple sleepers but not too Rock actually so maybe he doesn't live here [Applause] I got too much crap on me I gotta go stash some more of this stuff out of the way I don't know I'm getting a good vibe from this I think there's gonna be some loot in there thank you ah see it was a bunker okay it's probably PC back there all right all right okay let's get out of here and shoot some Rockets I'm gonna break that door foreign sounds like we broke a flame trap through the wall and there is the TC with that broken let's seal ourselves in here [Music] all right a little safer now oh there's a foot through the wall there who is it oh it is our friend J-Rock we are in the right base after all praise praise be all right now he'll wake up to a nice message and be very happy as well let's check out some of this loot now let's see what we got these boxes not much in those first two ah they don't need those beds we can use that to finish locking them out of their own base and we got some meds and you know if we move on we got a whole box of ammo at least this guy's organized you know move up under there we got the in the middle we got a couple Rockets not much not even real rockets we got his guns an M2 in there that's okay I guess rocket launcher just some random extra components and cards let's put our own bed in there and we can pop back and forth easier up and in there awesome Building Supplies all right that's technically another raid done and uh now I'm just gonna transfer loot for a while that guy was just about to throw down a compound too so expensive I don't understand why you'd want to do that like how hard is it to get through a wooden wall there's so much free fire ammo and you're gonna spend 50 60 G's on that like just for your base it's pointless I think we ended up getting 41 G's out of that that's crazy so I went and filled up my bank machine to the Max and then uh yeah let's take it back to our base and now suicide and just spawn over there again foreign [Music] back over there got a full load of gear ran it back and now I'm just showing you me selling it that way you didn't have to see me get it run it back here all that stuff trying to save it for you trying to save your time you know another 11 12 G's turret windmill M249 you know what has these that kind of stuff it's been been pretty good it's gonna F1 kill again go back over there get more stuff all right load it up coming home again I always try to take all this extra ammo and [ __ ] man I'll just recycle it if nothing else all right that was definitely all he was loot thanks Jay Rock and your friends for that and uh I wouldn't left you alone if you're ever watching this it's not Door County uh now we're back on the coastal Tower there's another lock crate everyone they're all running in some like hypnotic pattern to not fight me very very minimal crate again can't even sell the lr300s because they're the military guns so uh yeah so I hit that lock Creek and then I remember there was a little base on the coast by g-rox it had a couple wood walls and uh well I have a lot of incend area rockets that I haven't used at all so I figured why not barbecued that poor bastard that was in there right in his base all right he had a drug AK uh and then on his body over here a little bit of a kit and stuff so I don't know it's worth a rocket or two I'll probably never use I can't expect much for the PC on a base like that all right I'm always trying to keep my drop boxes empty everything in the main base is kind of full so let's go sell this stuff again okay I'm out of there with another 12 and a half K not too shabby there's no lock great this time I just went to suburbs to process some drugs all right somewhere different I like it [ __ ] okay a bunch of random zombies around got lots of little trinkets from them too close just all that stuff and we are back out of here Outpost is almost on the way home from the suburbs there so I just figured I'd drop it all off sell it before I take it home all right so we did all that it's almost time for me to log off for day six again but before we did that I needed to take care of something that J-Rock guy had a little alarm base next to his base and unless I go there and take care of that within a day or two he'll be up and running and able to raid me the farms on the server so I had to go over there and take care of it pretty cheap though one sheet metal door see this Farm's not even that big but it's big enough where he'll make you know 50 100 Grand two or three times a day right just off running this thing oh nice he's got turrets in here and some drugs for me too all right I was thinking I was just gonna you know grief them these TC's just through there so I sent an incident in all right let's get our own TC down let's get a door on this thing a red not a time for the really fun part that's probably good enough for now and now I can leave with a big smile on my face feeling like yeah he'll he'll wake up tomorrow and regret what he did damn I guess I drove over there one more time we got a whole bunch more gear at least hey literally took everything guys yeah they can wake up and start from scratch all right just getting back home about to log off into day six another big raid a lot of Lube in the base just trying to show it off okay just at least show you what I have in case you know we get offline or something and then you know how rich I am you know what I'm saying but anyway we got rid of arrival tonight good night's sleep you guys hopefully in the AM ount all right another day another dollar look at us waking up all stacked on our base after raiding a bunch of money in the TC a bunch of explosives left over not too shabby at all I don't remember why I went to suburb I don't see it on the footage here but I'm guessing there was a lock crate foreign the corner I missed my first couple shots yeah I guess there was no lock crate because I don't have it on the footage of me going back let's go back to my base here and I take a couple of level rewards again I dig a bunch of them and then I decide not to take the one for 15 grand cash and uh the rating supplies because that can get stolen from me so if I ever get raided uh that's no good this way is basically like keeping money and Rockets in the bank think of it that way then another one of these plane crash things happened uh pretty soon after like in between my base and coastal towns so that's like one square not even away I had to go scoop that up man I have so many inches right now it's kind of crazy all right we got all that and uh I thought to myself wow I've pissed a bunch of people off and it'd be I don't know pretty easy for someone to just like set up a turd outside my front door or something I'd be hooped so I just put the basically some PCS up there crazy just hopefully stop me from building right in front of me and griefing me okay we did that now we're off to the mansion Northeast to the base again in the desert another lock crate there that's crazy that must be a glitch let's try to kill all the zombies around uh went back to the crate so I needed to kill some more time just went to that other suburb that's kind of close to here it's a little southeast of this killed a few zombies in the suburb there and uh nothing special just came back that was a really low value crate like almost nothing I could sell for anything foreign I don't know if it's funny but uh I get home from back getting that lock created The Mansion there and uh I go to leave and there's literally a helicopter bringing another crate to the mansion so I boost there right away get it started and then decide to go run coastal town while I wait just to keep making money and stay moving so I got a decent haul from there uh got the back of the car drove it home and then we gotta go get that locked crate then boom we're off just repping through the desert along the tracks in the middle of the night not dangerous at all this better be a good one this time okay yeah before 8K I'll take that finally that's at least like 13 14 Grand right there all right we're back now I got a whole inventory of stuff out of my base that I'm gonna go sell all right was this gonna add up to making a good 22 G's here I like that at least you know what we're gonna do with that right away we're gonna buy two C4 all right we brought that C4 home and uh I don't know why I decided to go do this controls uh I don't really like them I don't think they're that worth it now that I'm watching this again but here we go I went and did another one thank you a lot of random stuff in that Hall uh except for these last two zombies they killed he's got some good pistols worth a thousand bucks and then two Tommy's that are worth a thousand bucks each so yeah kill those zombies I was just leaving my base and uh I noticed the airdrop coming down just uh north of me here uh so let's go for that damn that's crazy all right so now I ended up heading back to coastal town I forget if there was a crate there or what but there was a controller I don't think I went for it I'm just kind of looting the town mind my own business I didn't hear anything oh [ __ ] he was waiting at this off the stairs I missed every shot oh man oh man oh man [Music] no the poor bastard lost me behind the thing here damn he's pretty close to you guys he just did a flat run oh damn thanks for the juice son we out like trout [Music] so after teasing that guy who's no longer got a base and uh selling all that stuff from the guy just killed I'm in a pretty good mood you know so because I've got so much space brewing and I'm just so full and building supplies already um I think I'm gonna do a big upgrade pretty soon here foreign so now I begin this big building project basically the whole thing is to add just one more layer of metal honey cut into the base so right now it's about one to two metal walls and one armor wall um in the smallest spot I think it's only one metal wall so we're just trying to add one more the whole way around I'm even gonna add just a couple more doors why not I got plenty so I just did a big upgrade but uh I ran out of sheet metal uh let's get more just a little bit you know nothing too major just you know 300 pieces okay let's get that stuff back home and let's get back to being Bob the Builder here [Music] this upgrade will of course include a whole new half wall uh layer on top thank you okay so we just put like 600 plus pieces of sheet metal on the stage no joke let's see what it looks like during the daytime she's a thick one eh especially for a solo on a hardcore server like this with half gather it's all metal with an armored Core come on I've been grinding my ass off here so I just just finished that huge upgrade and I was about to go outside and my screen locks up I have been banned temporarily for griefing so you guys have seen the footage especially if we look back I put a TC in his base with no lock I left one door one sheet door locked on his base and on his farm base is that griefing in what world of rust is that griefing [Music] so after two hours of back and forth messages with the admin uh they agreed with me that it was not griefing and that they were misinformed and lied to basically of the severity of this and by the time I get back in I am rated by the same people for the third time now excessive griefing that is excessive briefing I rated this guy once I've been rated by the same three-man group as a solo for three times now that is what kills server pop guys so yeah pretty much nothing left some meds uh no guns Just some [ __ ] armor just really nothing's left in the whole base at all the only thing that's even worth salvaging is the base um I have no time left I gotta go to work so my big thing is here I'm just gonna try to seal it real fast while I listen to this guy whine and chat about having one lock on his base so I go to The Outpost eventually here and I I grab some money out of the ATM that's what it's for uh and I get some building supplies and stuff I'll just come split up real quick and then uh yeah then I gotta head to work for a bit guys and uh hopefully yeah laughs the best I can do right now too I don't have enough time to even bother with getting some metal metal frags all that kind of stuff even if I got money I just gotta go I gotta get to work right now so don't stay strong let's close this up all right I'm back from work and I got some time to play now uh so my goal is just beat the base back up to you know what it was at least right and uh hopefully hopefully I don't know there'll be some semblance of control from the admins here that these guys will not try to raid me again the same people I feel like there's not many other groups that probably could raid me so just the fact is the same people every time is pretty annoying and he went back here at coastal town just trying to get my loot back sort sorted out just get guns get ammo get everything ready again I'm not giving up don't you worry storing every little bit of cash I can in the ATM I don't know if I'm gonna get rated again the base isn't exactly safe uh I gotta get back there after I gotta reorganize everything uh this box is all broken so anyway just putting everything back together here and then we're out but we only still have a crossbow driving around here in coastal town and like I said don't really have a gun so we're gonna use the car to kill these zombies foreign [Music] I really honestly didn't want to farm a lot more nodes my base was kind of almost as big as it's gonna get and uh now I have a lot of metal at all so that's what we're doing all right I dropped it off and I should have done this a lot earlier but it worked better I decided to build a Loot drop off base just on the edge of coastal town like on the edge of where I can build and that way every time I'd make a run I can go default run back in back in before it run back yeah that was the idea thank you all right I finished putting that together and I got right to work and honestly if I wanted a chance that having fun the rest of this wipe I would need to really grind because I had a lot of stuff guys and it all just got taken from me again so after they rated me last time I was kind of gonna forget about it because they were so big but now now that's who I want to read I want to raid the biggest trio on the server can you hear me I said I'm gonna get revenge all right so I did that a few times now there's a lot created suburb again let's go get that okay we started at night time boom it's open in daytime okay another lock crate down take that home and I saw another plane crash on the map so hop in the cars over there really fast yeah that's not terrible I can work with all that uh I've never found a third one again only two so again I don't know if I'm just missing them every time or if it's two or three because I have seen three before I actually don't remember if I got all this while I was recently or somehow they didn't get this during the raid I think they got everything to be honest so let's just say I got this recently they'll process this before we can sell it gotta take it somewhere that's not a safe Zone all right let's go okay just like always I'm gonna make you watch that we'll post that and we'll all be done all at once all right let's go okay we're done we use our car we boot over that little base we have just next to this thing here next to coastal town stored in there run it and drop that off run out run into the town quickly run it well not quickly because now it's night time yeah I'm just trying not to waste you guys time too much just showing you that I'm doing these big runs you know I didn't save a good clip of it but I was talking to a guy in chat who happens to be someone I've killed a couple times at coastal town but uh anyway he's another solo and he wants to help me raid uh the biggest group on the server if possible he's uh send me new race he's never done a raid like that but he says he's got some money and some explosives saved up so uh now I'm just in uh really hardcore Grind Mode I thought it was gonna have to do it by myself but now now it seems like I got someone helping me for door camped so I apologize for that man got on today and I was like I have to spawn on the beach God damn it so yeah I made a killing uh selling all that stuff and I always make sure to collect the vending machines and recycle them because that's a really easy way to get high qual all right we did all that let's get that home on it I think I got even more stuff to sell again lots of trinkets with Linda Nicole Smithtown I wonder how much money I've made from selling stuff in this game in general so far it's too bad it doesn't keep track of that total okay so I went and sold that so all right we bring that back home every dollar right now is even more important do you guys understand right I was very rich now I'm like kind of trying to build back up with anything you know so let's go get even more stuff from that other uh coastal town base and let's bring it back to sell it I can thank you all right so the last of that crap for not that much but I need some sheet metal for the main base I need to start making these walls metal again instead of stone just that way I feel a little bit more comfortable going overnight you know what I mean I had to replace my bed and uh lots of stuff to do as you can see I'm not exactly poor anymore I got 50 Grand in my TC again already now we can get this fire started up again we can pay for this up here somehow here we are doing the TC upgrade yet again just so I can upgrade the walls of the metal quickly here so yeah this is where they blew in obviously let's just make this as sturdy as possible okay there we go that's quite a big thing for now okay let's go do those couple outside pieces too okay this really isn't so bad after you do this pretty much exactly where we were before we got raided um face wise I get to do the little upgrade to upgrade what one or two walls to armor again that's about it that's not even that expensive and yeah we already got 50 Grand in the base again a full bank account uh and we got a friend that's important guys that is it for day seven guys what an interesting day um hopefully we make it through the night what a wonderful morning how are you all doing this fine day so just another time heading over to the suburbs to hit another lock crate seeing if anything happens so I creep up and I'm in the bushes you know doing my usual thing and I hang around I don't see anybody for you know a long time there's Dead zombies around I'm just gonna wait till it opens I guess through that class all right uh my gun just broke and I just got shot by somebody else that's here I don't know how but I got that get the hell out of here oh yeah man if you get home and get a new gun I hop in the car I come back I don't know where this guy's driving off to but trying to catch him and he seems long gone I don't think that was him I think that's the other guy remember how there was a guy in the car and a guy shot me and I walked around and picked up some random drugs and stuff before I started to head back home here I had to log off for a bit but I came back as soon as I did there's another law crate at that suburb it's crazy they don't spawn like that on the other half of the map I'm telling you they come down here every time foreign looking for more plants and stuff like that it gets very dark very quickly if you haven't noticed I noticed this base while I'm uh grabbing stuff and it wasn't there before it's uh just on the other side of the Outpost for me on the other Mountain uh this wouldn't be too hard of a raid either but uh I'm really committed to saving up everything for that Trio I'm gonna need every penny for now yeah not doing it [Music] okay we come back for that lot finally and it's one of the best crates you can get qvc4 is huge that's at least 23 Grand so we went and ran and Depot that instantly and then I'm off to the coastal town I am on the hunt for Manu all right we did that we deployed that I decided I'm gonna go rub Lazarus Bank what do you guys think about that go horsey go all right we're in are you guys ready let's blow this sucker open okay let's start this crate quick makes a lot of noise of what have you but uh I just wanted to show all the zombies and guns whatever I could here nobody's coming in are they are they all right we got the loop we got a piece so I took my bank vault Heist Loot and I went home grabbed anything else I could from the base and then we went to Outpost to sell that foreign we ended up getting about 40K uh it's awesome I'm gonna put as much as I can my bank account my Max 30k now which is awesome all right let's get that back home and uh now you can see uh I got 80gs and uh I'm starting to build up a little bit of Boom again I've got some work to do though all right well then we did all that we went out now it sounds from coastal town again do that for a little while until uh until another lock crate drops over at the Mansion to the Northeast in the desert so we go to that good thing I'm keeping track all the lock crates in the top left of the screen eh along with kills deaths raids done zombies kill times now you can see how much work I've been putting into these wall crates it's one of the reasons why I got so rich too right all right so we got 80 grand in the TC we got 30 Grand in the ATM got another 15 grand in level bonuses plus we got rockets and C4 on a level bonus plus we got a couple Rockets cc4 right now we are getting up there again all right I really really don't seem to have a problem getting like a full inventory or rocks and plants here there's a really good area next to my base it's just like always refreshes itself it seems like [Music] all right you know what I gotta do I gotta take these to the coastal town to process them let's do that oh the magic of editing not having to stand there foreign driving home put that away and we have some parachutes from raid earlier so uh one of my quests says jump off the building with a parachute let's do it sounded cool kind of weird I don't know if I pressed the button or it did itself all right now that we've processed all that I took an outpost to sell with anything else I had thank you okay we made 10K and then we got all the drugs in the backpack open that up sell that all right another nine something from all that stuff here comes the big money man that's another 40 altogether [Music] foreign 's full plus the love Rewards all right off to hit another lock crate and get up there near the mansion and I remember that the admin said something to me about uh feeling bad about banning me and then getting raided because of basically an over exaggeration I weighed out the crate and come back and get it it's meh again okay we take that home we people it and then I Mark the Spot on my map that there was a plane crash a little while ago um and I kind of think it's been a little while but I remember that they actually lay on the map for a very long time and lo and behold here they are it's not too bad a little bit of free gear all right nice I always seem to get a rocket in these things lately uh and a third crate see this is what I've been talking about foreign [Music] so here I am getting some wood just trying to keep the furnace going trying to stay busy and I get a message from the admin that I had just messaged previously he says to check my inventory and what do I get a cool 50 G's guys that's awesome now I definitely lost more than 50 G's when I got offline because it didn't get him Banning me but this is a nice way to make up for it let's just say that wow so not only did I smash a bunch of wood but look at that we're sitting at 171 000. another lockered in the suburb you know it I knew I could hear a vehicle now I just gotta wait for the right moment so I don't waste my bullets on the glass well that worked really good you pulled up great in front of me and went so slow married he already started it I guess we'll come back foreign [Music] I wanted to explore it a little bit different uh spot see if there's any new bases popping up I don't know why I'm pretty committed to raiding one thing but I I found this decade base or Raid base or whatever pick some uh Bones from that um you know found a bunch of little random stuff a bunch of cool little trinkets actually not too bad at least my journey kind of worth it right and then uh yeah we just found some other dude's face out here not too bad but you know not really big enough to uh have anything to do with those guys I want to pay back that's for sure okay we bring home the leftovers from the cave base and I decide to F1 kill and spawn on the coast uh this Trio's base is right there in the noob spawn area right next to an outpost so it'll be easy for me to basically just show up there and uh let's do some scouting you know awesome the first time I literally spawned like a score and a half away from their base great wow that's definitely their base for sure okay it's uh got a big China Wall that's pretty tough this is very impressive considering uh the server we're on right yeah there's a lot of turrets in there especially I've Been Told yeah okay that's gonna be crazy armored walls in there it's uh I don't know if you can notice it's pretty damn juice all right well we need every penny we can get so it's a process of this stuff all right we're done let's go home get some more stuff from the base let's sell it sometimes that video seems to get really sluggish towards the end of the recording I'm not sure why it has a hard time converting the file length or something like that sorry guys I'll try to take more shorter videos next time thank you foreign after all that we got 35 800 which is crazy man my stock is getting unreal okay I got a log crease and it's getting late guys but uh I really want to smash as much as I can I'm gonna stay up a little bit I'm gonna go grind uh coastal town at least one more time here did that went back to the Outpost right away sold it all all right all right obviously went Home Depot that now we're back out on the grind we're looking for plants again all right I was a herbologist for a little bit longer I was out in the forest played with nature eating mushrooms now we're getting back to the base foreign yeah I just put all that stuff away I read that if I put a flame turret down that'll help me with our quest line so I do that and then it's time to just pack up shop for the night and let's really hope we don't get rated because I've got more cash than ever sitting in RTC right now day nine alive not rated mucho richo fuschiro So the plan is to grind for just a little bit more and uh then we're gonna check these guys out see if they're online it's gonna be pretty hard to raid that online so I think the timeline of when they go offline is just gonna be perfect for me tonight let's hope that they stay offline long enough for us to finish and when I say us I mean I have that buddy that we were talking about I killed him a couple times in uh in the coastal town there running around randomly over the last few days but uh he doesn't care he's a good guy he's a good sport and he wants to uh come with me and uh throw his boom boom in the pile so let's uh let's try and get this done today all right we already ran coastal town we started the crate and he put everything back all right down another big run let's go get it all together sell all that stuff add it to the pile of cash I think I'm really close to the cash I need now so just send them a message and we're gonna figure this out so while I'm waiting on response I'm not sitting on my thumbs I am processing plants who are at the same usual stuff we're doing every day and it wasn't long until I got a response I was just explaining him my idea uh he seems like he's okay with it so uh that's what we're gonna try I think when we get started I think their little design that they think they're going to be able to hold their compound with or in a big way it is actually going to help me get into their base without having to deal with any of their turrets I'm just gonna try to blow in there and I'll just use that little shooting floor plus sign thing as like a direct tunnel into the base all right let's get that stuff home and once I do let's get everything I can on my body as we can okay yeah that was another good run man 35 and these all together we're making some big leaps and bounce here oh look who it is oh and what an excellent pilot I probably need about I probably need about 30 minutes and then I can help all right sounds good yeah yeah once you invite me all right sounds good so we met up we had a plan we had a time I had 30 minutes to an hour to grind my ass off so you best believe I was out there hitting lock crates baby not feeling real greedy and that wasn't even close to enough so I figured I'd go rob the bank too okay no time like the present let's get her done all right so we get in there we start that great and not only am I starting to bank heist I am going to drive all the way back to Tinseltown to get that locked straight and then come back to get this one I am on the ball okay so my base is between here in the bank we deepered everything on the way and right back to the bank I was really careful and just took my time prepped in just to be sure and after all that nobody even here he's waiting for someone to pop their head around the corner but it doesn't happen I was waiting so you'd just take this to Outpost really quick since it's so close to my face I'm 19k for you know 15 minutes work that's not bad okay I still got all kinds of leak to sell at the base I know it seems like it's never ending but also around Coastal time probably a million times and after all said and done made a good 30 G's again just raking it in uh out of just you know spending right away by a couple C4 in the rocket so if you're still watching at this point you might not believe it but the time has come now I uh I head over there I get all my stuff packed up and I'm gonna go take out the players with the wall around their little base uh before I infiltrate their China Wall so just use a bunch of cindery ammo now we are moving along nicely towards my revenge I didn't know they had all these metal barricades in here uh separating the wood wall from the China wall so that's a slight difference electricity and our turret in there too laughs for you all right that's set now uh I decided to bring the car down here and uh push it next to the wall just so I can hop onto the ladder a little easier and uh yeah I think uh I think this works pretty good all right hopefully not get stuck on that next time uh worked our way up here if I place this it'll be easier to get a ladder down sorry I'm gonna have to mute the audio the guys I'm raiding are playing a copyrighted music on a loudspeaker over the bass like really loud so uh just so they don't uh cut this whole part of the video out of my uh you know little story here I'm gonna have to mute the music my plan was to go right over the top if that worked uh instead of trying to break in just to save explosives I think I would just break these uh barricades and go right over the plus sign as it were I was kind of worried about the turrets though okay yeah right here let's blow this and try to go straight over [Music] all right moment of truth will I be able to walk to the wall [Music] damn that was close uh that's okay that was the first try the second is that we're gonna actually blow into the shooting part of the diner wall at the very top and we'll see how that goes it's just slightly more expensive actually I think we're doing the same cost of pulling that barricade this has got to be one of the most fun things to do I don't know why it's just buying stuff with paper money but saving that all for so long 268 thousand dollars you guys think that I'll have enough to get in and find all their loot or not so after all that I ended up with 24 rockets and 14 C4 not too bad we definitely got enough to put a dent in their base now plus I got the money in my ATM store which is another 30 grand all right we're back we got all the boom boom we'll need for a bit um still our friend hasn't showed up but he's getting ready he's just taking his sweet time let's see what we can get done before he shows up my biggest question is when we hop in here am I going to get lit from turrets looks okay we're just gonna blow this one more door to find out and what's gonna happen okay not getting shot I'm getting shot I think this is gonna be the way all this door goes to the core let's follow it I have now that's good another door going towards the core just keep hitting that sorry again about the no game audio uh they're just pumping radio music in here right now through the speakers in game so I had to mute it all pretty soon I realized I can go into the menu in the audio and I could just turn off the game sounds and stuff like that that way so I'll have game audio again here soon just a little slow okay guys so this is exactly what I want to see is uh garage doors just heading straight to the core that's the cheapest thing I could possibly see right now [Music] foreign behind that armored wall I see a garage door let's break that real quick wow a farm okay interesting I just wanted to put down some uh some tiles here so I didn't fall in and get stuck that's a pretty good first sign that these guys are very loaded that in their base you know ouch that turret's annoying um so I kind of opened this little thing up and I'm starting to get kitted up and uh turret Finds Me Again super annoying so yeah it's Gotta Go oh my gosh that is so much better you have no idea how annoying that was I added most of it out for you but it was so loud I can't believe that's all I had to do all right now finally with that turret dealt with I'm in and that's my friend they showed up emoc is here I'm just a little hesitant to run in there I'm assuming there's more than one turret but turns out there isn't and uh we're just surprised that he's got such a big farm in here so uh we're just looking around and uh we start looking for easy ways to uh go and start trying to uh figure where the loot is all right so that's gone now we're just like kind of sussing out all our options here up and down left and right decide that ladder hatch going down it's pretty easy to break let's try that okay [Music] so we break that ladder hatch there's an armor door wide open that seems like a good sign or at least a little bit of luck after looking at this for a minute beside it's not worth going all the way around the base figure these garage doors run like a big ring just might as well blow straight in foreign interesting we got garage door armored door and there's a bird on each side that sounds real good so I'm going to Splash the door hopefully hit a bit of this turret at the same time here some something bro something bro nice now we can see if the TC's in this room or not all right it's definitely some big bedroom I don't want the TC's behind the store or not though I can't really tell yeah there's another chart around that corner around that corner to the left yeah I see that foreign are dipping into the Redemption points of the RP points here and I'm gonna get as many crates as I can oh yeah that's the other thing I was going to say is I've got 9 000 R RP I can use to open crates too holy [ __ ] 9k is a lot I don't think I've had that the whole way I think I had maybe eight uh that was a giant waste of explosives there was nothing down here but kits and beds uh which I guess is good to get rid of but not what we're looking for [Music] the RP crate systems kind of hit or miss you know I got a C4 there that was okay but other than that just really a big waste my my inventory is full so I'm worried about if we could break these uh I don't want stuff to despawn if there's anything good so just FYI so after a little discussion there I make an executive decision and decide that we need to go up from where we came in on that like like right here on this pillar on the farm floor and uh is that what you're thinking like right there spot and then we just basically just drill upwards from there foreign all right how close are we about halfway you know what all right just send some C4 at this speed this up a bit a couple satchelors should finish this off foreign so at first it almost looks like the ceiling didn't blow but what they've done is they've double sealed the guy who built this it's actually two separate bases or who knows even more all put together so that they overlap each other some kind of building trick that prick all right I got the catcher both of us are running a little low on zoom boom already we're gonna take all the kits we got from them we're gonna sell it and get the money from my ATM and I'm gonna buy as much as I can yeah I've got my ATM and all my XP which is about like another 40 000 I think but we have enough on us right now just to get the C4 all right we've got 21k plus my 30 000 in the bank not too bad all right so he bought eight C4 and I'll buy seven rockets and let's get back in there and see what we can find foreign and uh he does six or seven C4 that armored ceiling uh we're gonna go finish that off with the launcher all right it's broken and I see colors dude I think we found something really good here this this looks like it's going to be very promising I'm just like marveling and awe before I put my ladder up there yeah you see what all that stuff is it's moving their loot around see that [Music] surprised there's no turret in this room this seems like this main room for them obviously but what door to break first garage door double armor or single armor I'm trying to come up with an intelligent yes if you look at this look at this small door right here I kind of think there's going to be luke behind every door so I can't wait to get started okay [Music] oops that's why communication is important kids all right so those doors are open and it looks like both loot rooms you just gotta unlock everything you know yeah I think this is yeah I think this is it but yeah yeah all right well he opens boxes I'm gonna blow the other doors couldn't resist checking while I reload not bad [Music] hey look at this look at this look at this one I just wrote prompts that's a spicy component box foreign that's broke we got loot coffins oh we got teeth oh here here here he is sleep sleeper baby [Music] dude don't don't kill him yet don't kill him yet just leave them there until we get done moving some more loot in case in case his rust plus pings him when he dies don't do it oh man that's so much money doesn't even matter what happens now if they woke up right now big hole in their base all their explosives gone oh bro loving it I'm feeling it I'm filling a donor backpack with the Rockets oh my gosh these backpacks are full of AKs too this is hilarious I'm gonna have a full inventory a case to sell plus a backpack nice m2s lrs can't sell those but I can sell gunpowder and explosives though [Applause] okay I'll have to sell our second batch of goods our first real good Bash [Music] oh just around 85 000 no big deal Let's uh let's toss 30 that my ATM Max it out and uh yeah we decide it's better he takes most of the rockets and hides them at one of his bases uh obviously we're gonna keep exploding stuff but uh let's get the majority of that boom away for their base that way they can't just take it back if they came online [Applause] I go back in I fill up on some more AKs and I find a whole bunch of he names too so damn I gotta get those out of here too oh so B mock still uh moving his stuff around uh let's take a little bit of time there just to send Rockets home but uh anyway I'm just gonna go sell stuff solo by myself right now keep figuring the cash back to the raid base foreign [Applause] that's getting this is getting crazy guys [Music] here we go back in for more because I ain't done yet Pam there's so many lock boxes we haven't even opened yet another backpack of good AKs with like attachments onto uh [Music] yeah okay go toss out in the raid base okay then get back inside look at look at this one I just broke truly wow that is crazy especially For This Server run unreal foreign [Music] would have probably been better served to like you know crazy beef up my base or something but at this point I don't really care about my base I just want to [ __ ] them over as much as I can so I don't want to give them any chance of getting it back from me in any way so let's just sell it all it actually didn't sell for quite as much as I thought it's like four or five times more expensive to buy than to sell so uh you know just a quick 32 G's all right what else can we siphon from this place I guess we're Roman M2 the rest of the world what's that [Music] a whole bunch of what yeah that's cool you have to figure something like that [Applause] um kit uh uh face masks and chest plate all right guns and components all together went for just under 54k let's add it to the tally so we either looted everything in that main room where we don't really care about it enough it's time to blow open the side doors it's kind of nice by accident we shut off some of the power so there's not so many turrets bothering us okay so we're breaking this little bedroom and uh I look out the window and I see coffins I'm thinking it's too bad we can't place a new TC down we're uh building block by the other TC's but we can just splash this door that we want to break and the window anyway [Music] you have the ladder yes sir oh cool cool thanks man let's find out what we got here holy [ __ ] look at this one wow that's pretty nice for sure thank you this backpack is full of incense LOL so is this one nice this one's full of HV though so much loot all right not all the turrets are off all right so that one's gone but we got one another side still all right let me start shooting down there I'll be able to see it better when these lockers are out of the way uh looks exactly mirrored on the other side I'll just keep going nice yeah it was mirrored another loot room yeah holy crap dude there's so much here no doubt look at the lights off it's still another turret down there though too all right give me one more all right he wants to go deal with it fine I'll check out the loot thank you oh wow holy crap look at the nails man here you go buddy good work turret Destroyer all right there's one more down there if you go up to your left there's one more turns to be careful thank you sir okay making another inventory they'll post to sell foreign all together we did another 53 adding that up on my notepad here [Music] oh I was doing that this is breaking boxes look at all the cool stuff we're finding still and another box of guns man all right well let's uh these things around the corner here so that we can be done with the Boom easy there easy there let me break them foreign [Music] dude it's sinking through the floor that's funny because of the double floor but it gets slowly sinking look at that oh it's gone yeah it's down here it's down here on the planter box so far after all that we only found the one sleeper Now's the Time I'm gonna kill him and break the TC yeah that's true but I think we pretty much got to put anything there's a lot of bedrooms that's probably what it is all right so you can see my inventory just grab another full load of guns and taking it out your mic's breaking up I can't hear you hey I grabbed I grabbed a donator out of this uh casket right here to try to fill it up it's full of lrs we did it man I got my revenge I took everything from them when they wake up in the morning they're gonna be so so mad anything we didn't take is gonna be despawned the base is gonna be falling apart this is crazy for a better outcome of this did you like my plan to use uh their design against them to bypass all those turrets yeah dude that was that was really really smart I'm just glad it worked [Music] chat all right that was a lot of back and forth but we made another 55 there awesome [Music] get back and put all that cash with the rest of it looks like we got about 330k stock there in the base I don't even think there's any wood in it [Music] you guys thought we were done I'm gonna sell everything that's sellable man some of this stuff's worth 500 600 000 bucks a pop right lots of money to make so it was it was smart to go up through those floors man imagine if we kept going around in circles down below yeah you got to be careful okay sold all that made another 41k at back I said 470 now in the PC was like probably three or four in the morning my time uh I was getting pretty tired at this point uh we made our Point too I didn't really need the loot either so I just wanted to get one more load out of there and I was gonna probably take off foreign yeah I'm full too all right we made another what 38 and a half from that that's not too bad that's the last one though for me let's take it back put in the TC all right with that we are just shy of 550 000 bucks so we mock is incredibly generous he was gonna stay and pull out even more Luke so he gave me a bunch of cash you can see what I uh take here uh he kept all the Rockets so um yeah this is what I took home talked about an easy raid hey did you say easy raid yeah that was epic it's definitely yeah definitely the biggest one I've ever done my friend here uh offers me his chauffeur services and uh starts uh flying me home before he continues uh pilfering and stealing from these guys hopefully he won't leave a crumb for them uh it's been fun guys this is uh this is the end of the wipe for me though um there's not much more point in playing we're either the biggest group on the server um if they do get back online I guarantee you they're gonna offline my base so I'm not gonna leave anything in my base I you know kind of stash this in one of my little tiny bases out in the middle of nowhere so I actually did log in the next day to find my base offline so I am glad that I moved everything they never got any of it um and I was trash talking them pretty good they honestly tried to say that they weren't bothered by any of it at all and it wasn't even a little bit of their loot uh just made it seem like it was nothing to them what we did and we laughed just so hard that you know they thought they were invincible and talked all this [ __ ] and then obviously [ __ ] them up pretty big I want to thank Dimock to my buddy if it wasn't for you we never would have been able to do that my man thank you for being such a good grinder and a good sport it's really a great way to end the wipe getting flown home like this at the end of the night uh very cinematic you know a great end of the video I gotta thank everybody if you made it this far for watching really really appreciate it if you guys did make it this far and you haven't hit that like button or subscribe to me yet on the channel like what's going on uh this took me like over a hundred hours to edit easily easily so show that love it's just it's just a crazy amount of time to do that so I hope you guys enjoy it take care everyone thanks again really appreciate it [Music]	Skip Games To

is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by eric longman off on a comet by jules verne translated by anonymous book 1 chapter 10 a search for algeria the debrina a strong craft of 200 tons burden had been built in the famous shipbuilding yards in the isle of wight her sea going qualities were excellent and would have amply sufficed for a circumnavigation of the globe count timochev was himself no sailor but had the greatest confidence in leaving the command of his yacht in the hands of lieutenant procope a man of about 30 years of age and an excellent seaman born on the count's estates the son of a serf who had been emancipated long before the famous edict of the emperor alexander prokop was sincerely attached by a tie of gratitude as well as of duty and affection to his patron service after an apprenticeship on a merchant ship he had entered the imperial navy and had already reached the rank of lieutenant when the count appointed him to the charge of his own private yacht in which he was accustomed to spend by far the greater part of his time throughout the winter generally cruising in the mediterranean whilst in the summer he visited more northern waters the ship could not have been in better hands the lieutenant was well informed in many matters outside the pale of his profession and his attainments were alike creditable to himself and the liberal friend who had given him his education he had an excellent crew consisting of tigaloo the engineer four sailors named nigok tolstoy ed and michelle the cook these men without exception were all sons of the cow's tenants and so tenaciously even out at sea did they cling to their old traditions that it mattered little to them what physical disorganization ensued so long as they felt they were sharing the experiences of their lord and master the late astounding events however had rendered procope manifestly uneasy and not the less so from his consciousness that the count secretly partook of his own anxiety steam up and canvas spread the schooner started eastwards with a favorable wind she would certainly have made 11 knots an hour had not the high waves somewhat impeded her progress although only a moderate breeze was blowing the sea was rough a circumstance to be accounted for only by the diminution in the force of the earth's attraction rendering the liquid particles so buoyant that by the mere effect of oscillation they were carried to a height that was quite unprecedented monsieur arago has fixed 25 or 26 feet as the maximum elevation ever attained by the highest waves and his astonishment would have been very great to see them rising 50 or even 60 feet nor did these waves in the usual way partially unfurl themselves and rebound against the sides of the vessel they might rather be described as long undulations carrying the schooner its weight diminished from the same cause as that of the water alternately to such heights and depths that if captain servidak had been subject to seasickness he must have found himself in sorry plight as the pitching however was the result of a long uniform swell the yacht did not labor much harder than she would against the ordinary strong short waves of the mediterranean the main inconvenience that was experienced was the diminution in her proper rate of speed for a few miles she followed the line hitherto presumably occupied by the coast of algeria but no land appeared to the south the changed positions of the planets rendered them of no avail for purposes of nautical observation nor could lieutenant prokop calculate his latitude and longitude by the altitude of the sun as his reckonings would be useless when applied to charts that had been constructed for the old order of things but nevertheless by means of the log which gave him the rate of progress and by the compass which indicated the direction in which they were sailing he was able to form an estimate of his position that was sufficiently free from error for his immediate need happily the recent phenomena had no effect upon the compass the magnetic needle which in these regions had pointed about 22 degrees from the north pole had never deviated in the least a proof that although east and west had apparently changed places north and south continued to retain their normal position as cardinal points the log and the compass therefore were able to be called upon to do the work of the sextant which had become utterly useless on the first morning of the cruise lieutenant procope who like most russians spoke french fluently was explaining these peculiarities to captain servidak the count was present and the conversation perpetually recurred as naturally it would to the phenomena which remained so inexplicable to them all it is very evident said the lieutenant that ever since the first of january the earth has been moving in a new orbit and from some unknown cause has drawn nearer to the sun no doubt about that said cervidak and i suppose that having crossed the orbit of venus we have a good chance of running into the orbit of mercury and finish up by a collision with the sun added the count there's no fear of that sir the earth has undoubtedly entered upon a new orbit but she is not incurring any probable risk of being precipitated onto the sun can you satisfy us of that ask the count i can sir i can give you a proof which i think you will own is conclusive if as you suppose the earth is being drawn on so as to be precipitated against the sun the great center of attraction of our system it could only be because of the centrifugal and centripetal forces that caused the planets to rotate in their several orbits had been entirely suspended in that case indeed the earth would rush onwards toward the sun and in 64 days and a half the catastrophe you dread would inevitably happen and what demonstration do you offer asked cervadak eagerly that it will not happen simply this captain that since the earth entered her new orbit half the 64 days has already elapsed and yet it is only just recently that she has crossed the orbit of venus hardly one third of the distance to be traversed to reach the sun the lieutenant paused to allow time for reflection and added moreover i have every reason to believe that we are not so near the sun as we have been the temperature has been gradually diminishing and the heat upon gorby island is not greater now than we might ordinarily expect to find in algeria at the same time we have the problem still unsolved that the mediterranean has evidently been transported to the equatorial zone both the count and the captain expressed themselves reassured by his representations and observed that they must now do all in their power to discover what had become of the vast continent of africa of which they were hitherto failing so completely to find a vestige 24 hours after leaving the island the debrina had passed over the sites where tennis churchill collee and siddhi farook once had been but of these towns not one appeared within range of the telescope ocean reigned supreme lieutenant procope was absolutely certain that he had not mistaken his direction the compass showed the wind had never shifted from the west and this with the rate of speed as estimated by the log combined to assure him that at this date the 2nd of february the schooner was in latitude 36 degrees 49 minutes north and longitude 3 degrees 25 minutes east the very spot which ought to have been occupied by the algerian capital but algiers like all the other coast towns had apparently been absorbed into the bowels of the earth captain cervadak with clenched teeth and knitted brow stood sternly almost fiercely regarding the boundless waste of water his pulse beat fast as he recalled the friends and comrades with whom he had spent the last few years in that vanished city all the images of his past life floated upon his memory his thoughts sped away to his native france only to return again to wonder whether the depths of ocean would reveal any traces of the algerian metropolis is it not impossible he murmured aloud that any city should disappear so completely would not the loftiest eminences of the city at least be visible surely some portion of the casbah must still rise above the waves the imperial fort too was built upon an elevation of 750 feet it is incredible that it should be so totally submerged unless some vestiges of these are found i shall begin to suspect that the whole of africa has been swallowed in some vast abyss another circumstance was most remarkable not a material object of any kind was to be noticed floating on the surface of the water not one branch of a tree had been seen drifting by nor one spar belonging to one of the numerous vessels that a month previously had been moored in the magnificent bay which stretched 12 miles across from cape mata foos to point pexade perhaps the depths might disclose what the surface failed to reveal and count timochev anxious that servadak should have every facility afforded him for solving his doubts called for the sounding line forthwith the lead was greased and lowered to the surprise of all and especially of lieutenant pro cope the line indicated a bottom at a nearly uniform depth of from four to five fathoms and although the sounding was persevered with continuously for more than two hours over a considerable area the differences of level were insignificant not corresponding in any degree to what would be expected over the site of a city that had been terrorist like the seats of an amphitheater astounding as it seemed what alternative was left but to suppose that the algerian capital had been completely leveled by the flood the sea bottom was composed of neither rock mud sand nor shells sounding lead brought up nothing but a kind of metallic dust which glittered with a strange iridescence and the nature of which was impossible to determine as it was totally unlike what had ever been known to be raised from the bed of the mediterranean you must see lieutenant i should think that we are not so near the coast of algeria as you imagined the lieutenant shook his head after pondering a while he said if we were farther away i should expect to find a depth of two or three hundred fathoms instead of five fathoms five fathoms i confess i am puzzled for the next 36 hours until the 4th of february the sea was examined and explored with the most unflagging perseverance its depth remained invariable still four or at most five fathoms and although its bottom was assiduously dredged it was only to prove it barren of marine production of any type the yacht made its way to latitude 36 degrees and by reference to the charts it was tolerably certain that she was cruising over the site of the sahel a ridge that had separated the rich plain of the metija from the sea and of which the highest peak mount bourgeois had reached an altitude of twelve hundred feet but even this peak which might have been expected to emerge like an eyelet above the surface of the sea was nowhere to be traced nothing was to be done but to put about and return and disappointment toward the north thus the debris regained the waters of the mediterranean without discovering a trace of the missing province of algeria end of book 1 chapter 10 recording by eric longman marietta georgia book 1 chapter 11 of off on a comment this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org [Music] recording by kev s off on a comment by jules verne translated by anonymous book 1 chapter 11 an island tomb no longer then could there be any doubt as to the annihilation of a considerable portion of the colony not merely had there been a submersion of the land but the impression was more and more confirmed not only merely had there been a submersion of the land but the impression was more and more confirmed that the very bounds of the earth must have yawned and closed again upon a large territory of the rocky substratum of the province it became more evident than ever that not a trace remained and a new soil of unknown formation had certainly taken the place of the old sandy sea bottom as it altogether transcended the powers of those on board to elucidate the origin of this catastrophe it was felt to be incumbent on them at least to ascertain its extent after a long and somewhat wavering discussion it was that lymph decided the schooner would take advantage of the favorable wind and weather and proceed at first towards the east thus following the outline of what had formally represented the coast of africa until that coast had been lost in boundless sea not a vestige of it all remained from cape mata first to tunis it had all gone as though it had never been the maritime town of dallas built like algiers amphitheater-wise had totally disappeared the highest points were quite invisible not a trace on the horizon was left of the trajura train the topmost point of which was known to have an altitude of more than seven thousand feet and sparing of her fuel the jabrenia made her way up full steam towards blanc neither cape negro nor cape syrah was to be seen the town of berserta once charming in its oriental beauty had vanished utterly its marabouts or temple tomb shaded by magnificent palms that fringed the gulf which by reason of its narrow mouth had the semblance of a lake all had disappeared giving place to a vast waste of sea the transparent waves of which are still demonstrated by the sounding line had ever the same uniform and arid bottom in the course of the day the schooner rounded the point where five weeks previously kate blanc had been so conspicuous and object and she was now steaming the waters of what would once been the way of tunis but bae there was none and the town from which it had derived its name with the arsenal the galleta and the two peaks of bokon in had all vanished from the view cape bond ii the most northern promontory of africa and the point of the continent nearest to the islands of sicily had been included in the general devastation before the occurrence of the recent prodigy the bottom of the mediterranean just at this point had formed a sudden ridge across the straits of libya the sides of the ridge had shelved to so great an extent that while the depth of water on the summit had been little more than eleven thousands that on either hand of the elevation was little short of a hundred fathoms a formation such as this plainly indicated that at some remote epoch cape bond had been connected with cape fearing the extremity of sicily in the same manner as kuwaita has doubtless been connected with gibraltar lieutenant prokop was too well acquainted with the mediterranean to be unaware of this peculiarity and would not lose the opportunity of ascertaining whether the submarine ridge still existed or whether the sea bottom between sicily and africa had undergone any modification both timmer chef and served were much interested in watching the operations at a sign from the lieutenant a sailor who was stationed at the foot of the four shrouds dropped the sounding lid into the water and in reply to cope's inquiries reported five fathoms and a flat bottom the next aim was to determine the amount of depression on either side of the ridge and for this purpose the depression was shifted for a distance of half a mile both to the right and left and the soundings taken at each station five fathoms and a flat bottom was the unvaried announcement after each operation not only therefore was it evident the submerged chain between cape bond and cape ferena no longer existed but it was equally clear that the convulsion had caused a general leveling of the sea bottom and that the soil degenerated as it has been said into a metallic dust of unrecognized composition bore no trace of the sponges sea and enemies starfish sea nettles hydrophytes and shells with which the submarine rocks the mediterranean had hit the tubing prodigiously clothed the de bruyne now put about and resumed her explorations in a southerly direction it remained however as remarkable as ever how completely throughout the voyage the sea continued to be deserted all expectations of hailing a vessel bearing news from europe were entirely falsified so that more and more each member of the crew began to be conscious of his isolation and to believe that the schooner like a second noah's ark carried the sole survivors of a calamity that had overwhelmed the earth on the 9th of february the de bruyne passed over the site of the city of dido the ancient beerusa of kothagi however which was now more completely destroyed than ever punic cafe had been destroyed by sipio africanus or roman carthagi by hassan the saracen in the evening as the sun was sinking below the eastern horizon captain cervadak was lounging moodly against the tariff rail from the heaven above where stars kept peeping fitfully from behind the moving clouds his eye wandered mechanically to the waters below where the long waves were rising and falling with the evening breeze all at once his attention was arrested by a luminous speck straight ahead on the southern horizon at first imagining that he was the victim of some spectral illusion he observed it with silent attention but when after some minutes he became convinced that what he saw was actually a distant light he appealed to one of the sailors by whom his impression was fully corroborated the intelligence was immediately imparted to count timothy and the lieutenant is it land do you suppose invite server deck eagerly i should be more inclined to think it is a light upon board some ship replied they can whatever it is in another hour we shall know all about it said serve that no captain interposed lieutenant pro cope we shall know nothing until tomorrow what not bear down upon it at once ask the count enterprise no sir i should much rather lay to and wait till daylight if we are really near land i should be afraid to approach it in the dark the count expressed his approval of the lieutenant's caution and there upon all sale was shortened so as to keep the de bruyne from making any considerable progress all through the hours of the night few as those hours were they seemed to those on board as if their end would never come fearful lest the faint glimmer should at any moment cease to be visible hector cervadak did not quit his post upon the deck but the light continued unchanged it shone with about the same degree of luster as a star of the second magnitude and from the fact of its remaining stationary prakote became more and more convinced that it was on land and did not belong to a passing vessel at sunrise every telescope was pointed with keenest interest towards the center of the attraction the light of course had ceased to be visible but in the direction where it had been seen and at a distance of about 10 miles there was the distinct outline of a solitary island a very small extent rather as the count observed it had the appearance of being the projecting summit of a mountain all but submerged whatever it was it was agreed that its true character must be ascertained not only to gratify their own curiosity but for the benefit of all future navigators the schooner accordingly was steered directly towards it and in less than an hour had cast anchor within a few cables length of the shore the little island proved to be nothing more than an arid rock rising abruptly about 40 feet above the water it had no outlying reefs a circumstance that seemed to suggest the probability that in the recent convulsion it had sunk gradually until it reached its present position of equilibrium without removing his eye from his telescope sirdakix claimed there is a habitation on the place i can see an erection of some kind quite distinctly who can tell whether we shall not come across a human being lieutenant procope looked doubtful the island had all the appearance of being deserted nor did a cannon shot fired from the schooner had the effect of bringing any resident to the shore nevertheless it was undeniable that there was a stone building situated on the top of the rock and that this building had much the character of an arabian mosque the boat was lowered and manned by the four sailors cervadak timochev and prakop were quickly rowed ashore and lost no time in commencing their ascent of the steeper cliverty upon reaching the summit they found their progress arrested by a kind of wall or rampart of singular construction its materials consisting mainly of vases fragments of columns carved bass reliefs statues and portions of broken stellai all piled promiscuously together without any pretence to artistic arrangement they made their way into the enclosure and finding an open door they passed through and soon came to a second door also open which admitted them to the interior of the mosque consisting of a single chamber the walls of which were ornamented in the arabian style by sculpture of indifferent execution in the center was a tomb of the very simplest kind and above the tomb was suspended a large silver lamp with a capacious reservoir of oil in which floated a long lighted wick the flame of which was evidently the light that had attracted cervidax attention on the previous night must there not have been a custodian of the shrine than mutually asked but if such there had ever been he must they concluded either have fled or have perished on that eventful night not a soul was there in charge and the sole living occupants were a flock of wild cormorants which startled at the entrance of the introduce rose on wing and took a rapid flight towards the south an old french prayer book was lying on the corner of the tomb the volume was open and the page exposed a view was that which contained the office for the celebration of the 25th of august a sudden revelation dashed across cervidex mine the solemn isolation of the island tomb the open brevary the ritual of the ancient anniversary all combined to appraise him of the sanctity of the spot upon which he stood the tomb of saint louis he exclaimed and his companions involuntary followed his example and made a reverential obe essence to the venerated monument it was in truth the very spot on which tradition asserts that the canonized monarch came to die a spot to which for six centuries or more his countrymen had paid the homage of papayas regard the lamp that had been kindled at the memorial shrine of the saint was now all in probability the only beacon that threw a light across the waters of the mediterranean and even this year long must itself expire there was nothing more to explore the three together quitted the mosque and descended the rock to the shore whence their boat reconvened them to the schooner which was soon again on a southward voyage and it was not long before the tomb of saint louis the only spot that had survived the mysterious shot was lost to view end of book 1 chapter 1 recording by kev s book

verne translated by anonymous book 1 chapter 12 at the mercy of the winds as the affrighted comrades had winged their flight towards the south they're sprang up a sanguine hope on board the schooner that land might be discovered in that direction thither accordingly it was determined to proceed and in a few hours after quitting the island of the tomb the diberna was traveling the shallow waters that now covered the peninsula of de cool which separated the bay of tunis from the gulf of hamamet for two days she continued on an undeviating course and after a futile search for the coast of tunis reached the latitude of 34 degrees here on the 11th of february there suddenly arose the cry of land and in the extreme horizon right ahead where land had never been before it was true enough that ashore was distinctly to be seen what could it be it could not be the coast of tripoli for not only would that low-lying shore be quite invisible at such a distance but it was certain moreover that it lay two degrees at least still further south it was soon observed that this newly discovered land was a very irregular elevation that it extended due east and west across the horizon thus dividing the gulf into two separate sections and completely concealing the island of yerba which must lie behind its position was duly traced on the diberna's chart how strange exclaimed hector cervadak that after sailing all this time over the sea where we expected to find land we have at last come upon land where we thought to find c strange indeed replied lieutenant procul and what appears to me almost as remarkable is that we have never once caught sight either of one of the maltese tartans or one of the 11 zbecks that traffic so regularly on the mediterranean eastwards or westwards ask the count which shall be our course all for farther progress to the south is checked westwards by all means replied cervadak quickly i am longing to know whether anything of algeria is left beyond the shelf besides as we pass gorby island we might take ben zuff on board and then make a way for gibraltar where we should be sure to learn something at least of european news with his usual error of stately courtesy count tim chef begged the captain to consider the yacht at his own disposal and desired him to give the lieutenant instructions accordingly lieutenant prokop however hesitated and after revolving matters for a few moments in his mind pointed out that the wind was blowing directly from the west and seemed likely to increase if they went to the west in the teeth of the weather the schooner would be reduced to the use of our engine only and would have much difficulty in making any headway on the other hand by taking an eastward course not only would they have the advantage of the wind but under steam and canvas might hope in a few days to be off the coast of egypt and from alexandria or some other port they would have the same opportunity of getting tidings from europe as they would at gibraltar intensely anxious as he was to revisit the province of iran and eager to to satisfy himself of the welfare of his faithful ben zuf servadak could not but own the reasonableness of the lieutenant's objections and yielded to the proposal that the eastward course should be adopted the wind gave signs only two threatening of the breeze rising to a gale but fortunately the waves did not culminate in breakers but rather in a long swell which ran in the same direction as the vessel during the last fortnight the high temperature had been gradually diminishing until it now reached an average of 20 degrees cent or 68 degrees far and sometimes descended as low as 15 degrees that this diminution was to be attributed to the change in the earth's orbit was a question that admitted of little doubt after approaching so near to the sun as to cross the orbit of venus the earth must now have receded so far from the sun that its normal distance of 91 millions of miles was greatly increased and the probability was great that it was approximating to the orbit of mars that planet which in its physical constitution most nearly resembled our own nor was the supposition suggested merely by the lowering of the temperature it was strongly corroborated by the reduction of the apparent diameter of the sun's disk to the precise dimensions which it would assume to an observer actually stationed on the surface of mars the necessary inference that seemed to follow from these phenomena was that the earth had been projected into a new orbit which had the form of a very elongated ellipse very slight however in comparison was the regard with which these astronomical wonders attracted on board the diberna all interest there was too much absorbed in terrestrial matters and in ascertaining what changes had taken place in the configuration of the earth itself to permit much attention to be paid to its erratic movements through space the schooner kept bravely on her way but well out to sea at a distance of two miles from land there was good need of this precaution for so precipitous was the sure that a vessel driven upon it must inevitably have gone to pieces it did not offer a single harbor of refuge but smooth and perpendicular as the walls of a fortress it rose to a height of 200 and occasionally of 300 feet the waves dashed violently against its base upon the general substratum rested a massive conglomerate the crystallizations of which rose like a forest of gigantic pyramids and obelisks but what struck the explorers more than anything was the appearance of singular newness that pervaded the whole region it all seemed so recent in its formation that the atmosphere had had no opportunity of producing its wanted effect in softening the hardness of its lines in rounding the sharpness of its angles or in modifying the color of its surface its outline was clearly marked against the sky and its substance smooth and polished as though fresh from a founder's mold glittered with the metallic brilliancy that is characteristic of pyrites it seemed impossible to come to any other conclusion but that the land before them continent or island had been upheaved by subterranean forces above the surface of the sea and that it was mainly composed of the same metallic element as had characterized the dust so frequently uplifted from the bottom the extreme nakedness of the entire tract was likewise very extraordinary elsewhere in various quarters of the globe there may be sterile rocks but there are none so adamant as to be altogether unfurrowed by the filaments engendered in the moist residual of the condensed vapor elsewhere there may be barren steeps but none so rigid as not to afford some hold to vegetation however low in elementary may be its type but here all was bare and blank and desolate not a symptom of vitality was visible such being the condition of the adjacent land it could hardly be a matter of surprise that all the sea birds the albatross the gull the cemu suck continual refuge on the schooner day and night they perched fearlessly upon the yards the report of a gun failing to dislodge them and when food of any sort was thrown upon the deck they would dart down and fight with eager veracity for the prize their extreme avidity was recognized as a proof that any land where they could obtain a sustenance must be far remote onwards thus for several days the diberna followed the contour of the inhospitable coast of which the features would occasionally change sometimes for two or three miles assuming the form of a simple aris sharply defined as though cut by a chisel when suddenly the prismatic laminate soaring in rugged confusion would again recur but all along there was the same absence of beach or tractive sand to mark its base neither was there any of those shoals of rock that are ordinarily found in shallow water at rare intervals there were some narrow fissures but not a creek available for a ship to enter to replenish its supply of water and the wide roadsteads were unprotected and exposed to well ny every point of the compass but after sailing 240 miles the progress of the diberna was suddenly arrested lieutenant prokop who had said you loosely inserted the outline of the newly revealed coast upon the maps announced that it ceased to run east and west and had taken a turn due north thus forming a barrier to their continuing their previous direction it was of course impossible to conjecture how far this barrier extended it coincided pretty nearly with the 14th meridian of east longitude and if it reached as probably it did beyond sicily to italy it was certain that the vast basin of the mediterranean which had washed the shores alike of europe asia and africa must have been reduced to about half its original area it was resolved to proceed upon the same plan as heretofore following the boundary of the land at a safe distance accordingly the head of the diberna was pointed north making straight as it was presumed for the south of europe a hundred miles were somewhat over in that direction and it was to be anticipated that she would come in sight of malta if only that ancient island the heritage and succession of phoenicians carthaginians sicilians romans vandals greeks arabians and the knights of rhodes should still be undestroyed but malta too was gone and when upon the 14th the sounding line was dropped upon its sight it was only with the same results so often times obtained before the devastation is not limited to africa observe the count assuredly not ascended the lieutenant adding and i confess i am almost in despair whether we shall ever ascertain its limits to what quarter of europe if europe still exists do you propose that i should now direct your course to sicily italy france ejaculated server deck eagerly anywhere where we can learn the truth of what has befallen us how if we are the sole survivors said the count gravely hector cervadak was silent his own secret presentment was so thoroughly coincided with the doubts expressed by the count that he refrained from saying another word the coast without deviation still tended towards the north no alternative therefore remained then to take a westerly course and to attempt to reach the northern shores of the mediterranean on the 16th the diberna is saved to start upon her altered way but it seemed as if the elements had conspired to obstruct her progress a furious tempest arose the wind beat dead in the direction of the coast and the danger incurred by a vessel of a tonnage so light was necessarily very great lieutenant prokop was extremely uneasy he took in all sail struck his top masts and resolved to rely entirely on his engine but the peril seemed only to increase enormous waves caught the schooner and carried her up to their crests once again she was plunged deep into the abysses that they left the screw failed to keep its hold upon the water but continually revolved with useless speed in the vacant air and thus although steam was forced on to the extremist limit consistent with safety the vessel held her way with the utmost difficulty and recoiled before the hurricane still not a single resort for refuge did the inaccessible shore present again and again the lieutenant asked himself what would become of him and his comrades even if they should survive the peril of shipwreck and gain a footing upon the cliff what resources could they expect to find upon that scene of desolation what hope could they entertain that any portion of the old continent still existed beyond that dreary barrier it was a trying time but throughout it all the crew behaved with the greatest courage and composure confident in the skill of their commander and in the stability of their ship they performed their duties with steadiness and unquestioning obedience but neither skill nor courage nor obedience could avail all was in vain despite the strain put upon her engine the schooner bear of canvas for not even the smallest stay sail could have withstood the violence of the storm was drifting with terrific speed towards the menacing precipices which were only a few short miles to leeward fully alive to the hopelessness of their situation the crew were all on deck all over with us sir said procope to the count i have done everything that a man could do but our case is desperate nothing short of a miracle can save us now within an hour we must go to pieces upon yonder rocks let us then commend ourselves to the providence of him to whom nothing is impossible replied the count in a calm clear voice that could be distinctly heard by all and as he spoke he reverently uncovered an example in which he was followed by all the rest the destruction of the vessels seeming thus inevitable lieutenant took the best measures he could to ensure a few days supply of food for any who might escape ashore he ordered several cases of provisions and kegs of water to be brought on deck and saw that they were securely lashed to some empty barrels to make them float after the ship had gone down less and less grew the distance from the shore but no creek no inlet could be discerned in the towering wall of cliff which seemed about to topple over and involve them in annihilation except a change of wind or as percope observed a supernatural rifting of the rock nothing could bring deliverance now but the wind did not veer and in a few minutes more the schooner was hardly three cables distance from the fatal land all were aware that their last moment had arrived cervidak and the count grasped each other's hands for a long farewell and tossed by the tremendous waves the schooner was on the very point of being hurled upon the cliff when a ringing shout was heard quick boys quick hoist the jib and right the tiller sudden and startling as the unexpected orders were they were executed as if by magic the lieutenant who had shouted from the bow rushed to stern and took the helm and before anyone had time to speculate upon the object of his maneuvers he shouted again look out sharp watch the sheets an involuntary cry broke forth from all on board but it was no cry of terror right ahead was a narrow opening in the solid rock it was hardly 40 feet wide whether it was a passage or no it mattered little it was at least a refuge and driven by wind and wave the diberna under the dexterous guidance of the lieutenant dashed in between its perpendicular walls had she not immersed herself in a perpetual prison end of book one chapter

i was afraid you would replied major oliphant looking intently at the chessboard such was the way in which a long silence was broken on the morning of the 17th of february by the old calendar another day elapsed before another move was made it was a protracted game it had in fact already lasted some months the players being so deliberate and so fearful of taking a step without the most mature consideration that even now they were only making the 20th move both of them moreover were rigid disciples of the renowned philidor who pronounces that play the pawns well is the soul of chess and accordingly not one pawn had been sacrificed without a most rigorous defense the men who were thus beguiling their leisure were two officers in the british army colonel hennyage finch murphy and major sir john temple oliphant remarkably similar in personal appearance they were hardly less so in personal character both of them were about 40 years of age both of them were tall and fair with bushy whiskers and mustaches both of them were phlegmatic in temperament and both much addicted to the wearing of their uniforms they were proud of their nationality and exhibited a manifest dislike verging upon contempt of everything foreign probably they would have felt no surprise if they had been told that anglo-saxons were fashioned out of some specific clay the properties of which surpass the investigation of chemical analysis without any intentional disparagement they might in a certain way be compared to two scarecrows which though perfectly harmless in themselves inspire some measure of respect and are excellently adapted to protecting the territory entrusted to their guardianship english-like the two officers had made themselves thoroughly at home in the station abroad in which it had been their lot to be quartered the faculty of colonization seems to be indigenous to the native character once let an englishman plant his national standard on the surface of the moon and it would not be long before a colony was established around it the officers had a servant named kirk and a company of 10 soldiers of the line this party of 13 men was were apparently the sole survivors of an overwhelming catastrophe which on the 1st of january had transformed an enormous rock garrisoned with well nigh 2 000 troops into an insignificant island far out to sea but although the transformation had been so marvelous it cannot be said that either colonel murphy or major oliphant had made such demonstrations of astonishment this is all very peculiar sir john observed the colonel yes colonel vera peculiar replied the major england will be sure to send for us said one officer no doubt she will answered the other accordingly they came to the mutual resolution that they would stick to their post to say the truth it would have been difficult matter for the gallant officers to do otherwise they had but one small boat therefore it was well that they made a virtue of necessity and resigned themselves to patient expectation of the british ship which in due time would bring relief they had no fear of starvation their island was mined with subterranean stores more than ample for thirteen men nay for 13 english men for the next five years at least preserved meat ale brandy all were in abundance consequently as the men expressed it they were in this respect alright of course the physical changes that had taken place had attracted the notice both of officers and men but the reverse position of east and west the diminution of the force of gravity and the altered rotation of the earth and her projection upon a new orbit were all things that gave them little concern and no unqueasiness and when the colonel and the major had replaced the pieces on the board which had been disturbed by the convulsion any surprise they might have felt at the chess men losing some portion of their weight was quite forgotten in the satisfaction of seeing them retain their equilibrium one phenomenon however did not fail to make its due impression upon the men this was a diminution of the length of day and night three days after the catastrophe corporal pym on behalf of himself and his comrades solicited a formal interview with the officers the request having been granted pym with the nine soldiers all punctiously wearing the regimental tunic of scarlet and trousers of invisible green presented themselves at the door of the colonel's room where he and his brother officer were continuing their game raising his hand respectfully to his cap which he wore poised gently over his right ear and scarcely held on by the strap below his under lip the corp awaited permission to speak after a lingering survey of the chessboard the colonel slowly lifted his eyes and said with official dignity well men what is it first of all sir replied corporal prim we want to speak to you about our pay and then we wish to have a word with the major about our rations say on then said colonel murphy what is it about your pay just this sir as the days are only half as long as they were we should like to know whether our pay is to be diminished in proportion the colonel was taken somewhat back and did not reply immediately though by some significant nods towards the major he indicated that he thought the question very reasonable after a few moments reflection he replied it must i think be allowed that your pay was calculated from sunrise to sunrise there was no specification of what the interval should be your pay will continue as before england can afford it a buzz of approval burst involuntarily from all the men but military discipline and the respect due to their officers kept them in check from any boisterous demonstration of their satisfaction and now corporal what is your business with me as major oliphant we want to know whether as the days are only six hours long we are to have but two meals instead of four the officers looked at each other and by their glances agreed that the corporal was a man of sound common sense eccentricities of nature said the major cannot interfere with military regulations it is true that there will be but an interval of an hour and a half between them but the rule stands good four meals a day england is too rich to grudge her soldiers any of her soldiers do yes four meals a day hurrah shouted the soldiers unable this time to keep their delight within the bounds of military decorum and turning to the right about they marched away leaving the officers to renew the all-absorbing game however confident everyone upon the island might profess to be that sakura would be sent them from their native land for britain never abandons any of her sons it could not be disguised that sakura was somewhat tardy in making its appearance many in various were the conjectures to account for the delay perhaps in england was engrossed with domestic matters or perhaps she was absorbed in diplomatic difficulties or perchance more likely than all northern europe had received no tidings of the convolution that had shattered the south the whole party throw remarkably well upon the liberal provisions of the commissariat department and if the officers failed to show the same tendency to embank which was fast becoming characteristic of the men it was only because they deemed it due to their rank to curtail any indulgences which might compromise the fit of their uniform on the whole time passed indifferently well an englishman rarely suffers from anui and then only in his own country when required to conform to what he calls the humbug of society and the two officers with their similar tastes ideas and dispositions got on together admirably it is not to be questioned that they were deeply affected by the sense of re regret for their lost comrades and astounded beyond measure at finding themselves sole survivors of a garrison of 1895 men but with true british pluck and self-control they had done nothing more than draw up a report that 1882 names were missing from the muster roll the island itself the sole surviving fragment of an enormous pile of rock that had reared itself some 1600 feet above the sea was not strictly speaking the only land that was visible for about 12 miles to the south there was another island apparently the very counterpart of what was now occupied by the englishman it was only natural that this should awaken some interest even in the most important mind and there was no doubt that the two officers during one of their rare intervals when they were not absorbed in their game had decided that it would be desirable at least to ascertain whether the island was deserted or whether it might not be occupied by some others like themselves survivors from the general catastrophe certain it is that one morning when the weather was bright and calm they had embarked alone in the little boat and been absent for seven or eight hours not even to corporal pim did they communicate the object of their excursion nor say one syllable as to its result and it could only be inferred from their manner that they were quite satisfied with what they had seen and very shortly afterwards major oliphant was observed to draw up a lengthy document which was no sooner finished than it was formerly signed and sealed with the seal of the 33rd regiment it was directed to the first lord of the admiralty london and kept in readiness for transmission by the first ship that should hail in sight but time elapsed and here was the 18th of february without an opportunity having been afforded for any communication with the british government at breakfast that morning the colonel observed to the major that he was under the most decided impression that the 18th of february was a royal anniversary and he went on to say that although he had received no definite instructions on the subject he did not think that the peculiar circumstances under which they found themselves should prevent them from giving the day its due military honors the major quite concurred and it was mutually agreed that the occasion must be honored by a bumper of port and by a royal salute corporal pym must be sent for the corporal soon made his appearance smacking his lips having by a ready intuition found a pretext for a double morning ration of spirits the 18th of february you know pym said the colonel we must have a salute of 21 guns very good replied pam a man a few words and take care that your fellows don't get their arms and legs blown off added the officer very good sir said the corporal and he made his salute and withdrew of all the bombs howitzers and various species of artillery with which the fortress had been crowded one solitary piece remained this was a cumbrous muzzle loader of nine inch caliber and in default of the smaller ordinance generally employed for the purpose had to be brought into requisition for the royal salute a sufficient number of charges having been provided the corporal brought his men to the reduct once the gun's mouth projected over a sloping embouchure the two officers in cocked hats and full staff uniform attended to take charge of the proceedings the gun was maneuvered in strict accordance with the rules of the artillery men's manual and the firing commenced not unmindful in the warnings he had received the corporal was most careful between each discharge to see that every vestige of fire was extinguished so as to prevent an untimely explosion while the men were reloading and accidents such as so frequently mar public rejoicings were all happily avoided much to the chagrin of both colonel murphy and major oliphant the effect of the salute fell altogether short of their anticipations the weight of the atmosphere was so reduced that there was comparatively less resistance to the explosive force of the gases liberated at the cannon's mouth and there was consequently none of the reverberation like rolling thunder that ordinary follows the discharge of heavy artillery 20 times the gun had been fired and it was on the point of being loaded for the last time when the colonel laid his hand upon the arm of the man who had the ramrod stop he said we will have a ball this time let us put the range of the piece to the test good idea replied the major corporal you hear the orders in quicktime an artillery wagon was on the spot and the men lifted out a full-size shot weighing 200 pounds which under ordinary circumstances the cannon would carry about four miles it was proposed by means of telescopes to note the place where the ball first touched the water and thus to obtain an approximation sufficiently accurate as to the true range having been duly charged with powder and ball the gun was raised to an angle of something under 45 degrees so as to allow proper development to the curve that the projectile would make and at a signal from the major the light was applied to the primings heavens by all that's good exclaimed both officers in one breath as standing open mouth they hardly knew whether they were to believe the evidence of their own senses is it possible the diminution of the force of attraction at the earth's surface was so considerable that the ball had sped beyond the horizon incredible ejaculated the kernel incredible echoed the major six miles at least observed one i more than that replied the other a while they gazed at the sea and at each other in mute amazement but in the midst of their perplexity what sound was that which startled them was it mere fancy was it the reverberation of the canon still booming in their ears or was it not truly the report of another and a distant gun in answer to their own attentively and eagerly they listened twice thrice did the sound repeat itself it was quite distinct there could be no mistake i told you so cried the colonel triumphantly i knew our country would not forsake us it is an english ship no doubt in half an hour two masks were visible above the horizon see was i not right our country was sure to send to our relief here is the ship yes replied the major she responded to our gun it is to be hoped muttered the corporal that our ball has done her no damage before long the hull was full in sight a long trail of smoke be tokened her to be a steamer and very soon by the aid of the glass it could be ascertained that she was a schooner yacht and making straight for the island a flag at her masthead fluttered in the breeze and towards this two officers with the keenest attention respectively adjusted their focus simultaneously the two telescopes were lowered the colonel and the major stared at each other in blank astonishment russian they gasped and true it was that the flag that floated at the head of the yacht mast was the blue cross of russia end of book chapter 13. book 1 chapter 14 of off on a comment this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more

englishmen were able to make out the name de bruyne painted on the f board a sinuous irregularity of the coast had formed a kind of cove which though hardly spacious enough for a few fishing smacks would afford the yacht a temporary anchorage so long as the wind did not blow violently from either west or south into this cove the de bruyne was duly signaled and as soon as she was safely moored she lowered her four ore and count timochev and captain servidak made their way at once to land colonel henniage finch murphy and major sir john temple oliphant stood grave and prim formally awaiting the arrival of their visitors captain servidak with the uncontrolled vivacity natural to a frenchman was the first to speak a joyful sight gentleman he exclaimed it will give us unbounded pleasure to shake hands again with some of our fellow creatures you no doubt have escaped the same disaster as ourselves but the english officers neither by word nor gesture made the slightest acknowledgement of this familiar greeting what news can you give us of france england or russia continues cervadak perfectly unconscious of the solid rigidity with which his advances were received we are anxious to hear about anything you can tell us have you had communication with europe have you to whom are we the honor of speaking at last interposed colonel murphy in his coldest and most measured tone and drawing himself up to his full height ah how stupid i forgot said cervadak with the slightest possible shrug of his shoulders we have not been introduced then with a wave of his hand toward his companion who meanwhile had exhibited a reserve hardly less than that of the british officers he said allow me to introduce you to count wassili timochev major sir john temple oliphant replied the colonel the russian and english mutually exchanged the stiffest of bows i have the pleasure of introducing captain servidak said the count in his turn and this is colonel hennyage finch murphy was the major's grave rejoinder more bouts were interchanged and the ceremony brought to its due conclusion it need hardly be said that the conversation had been carried on in french a language which is generally known both by russians and englishmen a circumstance that is probably in some measure to be accounted for the refusal of frenchmen to learn either russian or english the formal preliminaries of etiquette being thus complete there was no longer any obstacle to a freer intercourse the colonel sending to his guests to follow led the way to the apartment occupied jointly by himself in the major which although only a kind of casement hollowed in the rock nevertheless wore a general air of comfort major oliphant accompanied them and all four having taken their seats the conversation was commenced irritated and disgusted at all the cold formalities hector cervadak resolved to leave all the talking to the count and he quite aware that the englishman would adhere to the fiction that they could be supposed to know nothing that had transpired previous to the introduction felt himself obliged to recapitulate matters from the very beginning you must be aware gentlemen began the count that a most singular catastrophe occurred on the first of january last its cause its limits we have utterly failed to discover but from the appearance of the island on which we find you here you have evidently experienced its devastating consequences the englishman in silence bowed ascent captain survedak who accompanies me continued the count had been most severely tried by the disaster engaged as he was in an important mission as a staff officer in algeria a french colony i believe interposed major oliphant half-shutting his eyes with an expression of supreme indifference serbadak was on the point of making some cutting retort but count timochev without allowing the in interruption to be noticed calmly continued his his narrative it was near the mouth of the shalif that a portion of africa on that eventful night was transformed into an island which alone survived the rest of the vast continent disappeared as completely as if it had never been the announcement seemed by no means startling to the phlegmatic colonel indeed was all he said and where were you asked major oliphant i was out to see cruising in my yacht hard by and i looked upon it as a miracle and nothing less that i and my crew escape with our lives i congratulate you on your luck replied to major the count resumed it was about a month after the great disruption that i was sailing my engine having sustained some damage in the shock along the algerian coast and had the pleasure of meeting with my previous acquaintance captain servidak who was resident upon the island with his orderly ben zuf ben who inquired major zeuf ben zuff ejaculated cervadak who could scarcely shout lao enough to relieve his pent-up feelings ignoring the evolution of the captain spleen the count went on to say captain servedak was naturally most anxious to get what news he could accordingly he left a servant on the island in charge of his horses and came on board the de bruyne with me we were quite at a loss to know where we should steer but decided to direct our course to what previously had been the east in order that we might if possible discover the colony of algeria but of algeria not a trace remained the colonel curled his lip insinuating only too plainly that to him it was by no means surprising that a french colony should be wanting in the element of stability cervidak observed the supercilious look and half rose to his feet but smothering his resentment took his seat again without speaking the devastation gentleman said the count who persistently refused to recognize the frenchman's irritation everywhere was terrible and complete not only was algeria lost but there was no trace of tunis except one solitary rock which was crowned by an ancient tomb of one of the kings of france louis ix i presume observed the colonel saint louis blurted out cervidax savagely colonel murphy slightly smiled proof against all interruption count timichev as if he had not heard it went on without pausing he related how the schooner had pushed her way onwards to the south and had reached the gulf of caves and how she had ascertained for certain that the sahara sea had no longer an existence the smile of disdain again crossed the colonel's face he could not conceal his opinion that such a destiny for the work of a frenchman could be no matter of surprise our next discovery continued the count was that a new coast had been upheaved right along in front of the coast of tripoli the geological formation of which was altogether strange and which extended to the north as far as the proper place of malta and malta cried cervadak unable to control himself any longer malta town forts soldiers governor and all has vanished just like algeria for a moment a cloud rested upon the colonel's brow only to give place to an expression of decided incredulity the statement seems highly incredible he said incredible repeated cervidak why is it that you doubt my word captain's rising wrath did not prevent the colonel from replying coolly because malta belongs to england i can't help that answered cervidax sharply it has gone just as utterly as if it had belonged to china colonel murphy turned deliberately away from cervadak and appealed to the count do you think that you may have made some error count in reckoning the bearings of your yacht no colonel i am quite certain of my reckonings and not only can i testify that malta has disappeared but i can confirm that a large section of the mediterranean has been closed in by a new continent after the most anxious investigation we could discover only one narrow opening in all the coast and it is by following that little channel that we have made our way hither england i fear has suffered grievously by the late catastrophe not only has malta been entirely lost but of the ionian islands that were under english protection there seems to be but little left i you may depend on it said servadak breaking in upon the conversation petulantly your grand resident lord high commissioner has not much to congratulate himself about in the condition of corfu the englishmen were mystified corfu did you say asked major oliphant yes corfu i said corfu replied servdak with a sort of malicious triumph the officers were speechless with astonishment the silence of bewilderment was broken at length by count timochev making inquiry whether nothing had been heard from england either by telegraph or by any passing ship no said the colonel not a ship has passed and the cable is broken but do not the italian telegraphs assist you continue the count italian i do not comprehend you you must mean the spanish surely how demanded tim a chef khan found it cried the impatient served act what matters whether it be spanish or italian tell us have you had no communication at all from europe no news of any sort from london hitherto none whatsoever replied the colonel adding with a stately emphasis but we shall be sure to have tidings from england before long whether england is still in existence or not i suppose said cervedak in a tone of irony the englishman started simultaneously to their feet england in existence the colonel cried england ten times more probable that france france shouted cervadak in a passion france is not an island that can be submerged france is an integral portion of a solid continent france at least is safe a scene appeared inevitable and count timochev's efforts to conciliate the excited parties were of small avail you are at home here said cervedak with as much calmness as he could command it will be advisable i think for this discussion to be carried on in the open air and hurriedly he left the room followed immediately by the others he led the way to a level piece of ground which he considered he might fairly claim as neutral territory now gentlemen he began hardly permit me to represent that in spite of any loss france may have sustained in the fate of algeria france is ready to answer any provocation that affects her honor here i am the representative of my country and here on neutral ground neutral ground objected colonel murphy i beg your pardon this captain served act is english territory do you not see the english flag and as he spoke he pointed with national pride to the british standard floating over the top of the island shaw cried cervadak with a contemptuous sneer that flag you know has been hoisted but a few short weeks that flag has floated where it is for ages asserted the colonel an imposter shouted cervadak as he stamped with rage recovering his composure in a degree he continued can you suppose that i am not aware that this island on which we find you is what remains of the ionian representative republic over which you english exercise a right of protection but have no claim of government the colonel in the major looked at each other in amazement although count timoth secretly sympathized with server dac he had carefully refrained from taking part in the dispute but he was on the point of interfering when the colonel in a greatly subdued tone begged to be allowed to speak i begin to apprehend he said that you must be laboring under some strange mistake there is no room for questioning that the territory here is england's england's by right of conquest ceded to england by the treaty of utrecht three times indeed in 1727 1779 and 1792 france and spain have disputed our title but always to no purpose you are i assure you at the present moment as much on english soil as if you were in london in the middle of trafalgar square it was now the turn of the captain and the count to look surprised are we not then in corfu they asked you are at gibraltar replied the colonel gibraltar the word fell like a thunderclap upon their ears gibraltar the western extremity of the mediterranean why had they not been sailing persistently to the east could they be wrong in imagining that they had reached the ionian islands what new mystery was this count timochev was about to proceed with a more rigorous investigation when the attention of all was arrested by a loud outcry turning round they saw that the crew of the de bruyne was in hot dispute with the english soldiers a general altercation had arisen from a disagreement between the sailor panofka and corporal pym it had transpired that the cannonball fired an experiment from the island had not only damaged one of the spires of the schooner but had broken panovka's pipe and moreover had just grazed his nose which for a russians was unusually long the discussion over this mishap led to mutual recriminations till the soldiers had almost come to blows with the garrison server deck was just in the mood to take pinovka's part which drew from major oliphant the remark that england could not be held responsible for any accidental injury done by her cannon and if the russians long nose came in the way of the ball the russian must submit to the mischance this was too much for count timochev and having poured out a torrent of angry invective against the english officers he ordered his crew to embark immediately we shall meet again said cervadak as they pushed off from shore whenever you please was a cool reply the geographical mystery haunted the minds of both the count and the captain and they felt they could never rest till they had ascertained what had become of their respective countries they were glad to be on board again that they might resume their voyage of investigation and in two hours were out of sight of the sole remaining fragment of gibraltar end of book 1 chapter 14. book 1 chapter 15 of off on a comment this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org off on a comet by jules verne translated by anonymous book 1 chapter 15 an enigma from the sea lieutenant prokop had been left on board in charge of the diberna and on resuming the voyage it was a task of some difficulty to make him understand the fact that had just come to light some hours were spent in discussion and in attempting to penetrate the mysteries of the situation there were certain things of which they were perfectly certain they could be under no misapprehension as to the distance they had positively sailed from gorby island towards the east before their further progress was arrested by the unknown shore as nearly as possible that was 15 degrees the length of the narrow strait by which they had made their way across that land to regain the open sea was about three miles and a half thence onward to the island which they had been assured on evidence that they could not disbelieve to be upon the site of gibraltar was four degrees while from gibraltar to gorby island was 7 degrees or but little more what was it all together was it not less than 30 degrees in that latitude the degree of longitude represents 8 and 40 miles what then did it all amount to indubitably to less than one thousand four hundred miles so brief a voyage could bring the diberna once again to her starting point or in other words would enable her to complete the circumnavigation of the globe how changed the condition of things previously to sail from malta to gibraltar by an eastward course would have involved the passage of the suez canal the red sea the indian ocean the pacific the atlantic but what had happened now why gibraltar had been reached as if it had been just at corfu and some 330 degrees of the earth's circuit had vanished utterly after allowing for a certain margin of miscalculation the main fact remained undeniable and the necessary inference that lieutenant prokop drew from the round of the earth being completed in 1400 miles was that the earth's diameter had been reduced by about 15 16 of its length if that be so observe the count it accounts for some of the strange phenomena we witness if our world has become so insignificant a spheroid not only has its gravity diminished but its rotary speed has been accelerated and this affords an adequate explanation of our days and nights being thus curtailed but how about the new orbit in which we are moving he paused and pondered and then looked at prakop as though awaiting from him some further elucidation of the difficulty the lieutenant hesitated when in a few moments he began to speak cervidex smiled intelligently anticipating the answer he was about to hear my conjecture is said prakop that a fragment of considerable magnitude has been detached from the earth that it has carried with it an envelope of the earth's atmosphere and that it is now traveling through the solar system in an orbit that does not correspond at all with the proper orbit of the earth the hypothesis was plausible but what a multitude of bewildering speculations it entailed if in truth a certain mass had been broken off from the terrestrial sphere with or would it wind its way what would be the measure of the eccentricity of its path what would be its period around the sun might it not like a comet be carried away into the vast infinity of space or on the other hand might it not be attracted to the great central source of light and heat and be absorbed in it did its orbit correspond with the orbit of the ecliptic and was there no chance of it ever uniting again with the globe from which it had been torn off by so sudden and violent disruption a thoughtful silence fell upon them all which servadak was the first to break lieutenant he said your explanation is ingenious and accounts for many appearances but it seems to me that in one point it fails how so replied per cop to my mind the theory meets all objections i think not servadak answered in one point at least it appears to me to break down completely what is that ask the lieutenant stop a moment said the captain let us see that we understand each other right unless i mistake you your hypothesis is that a fragment of the earth comprising the mediterranean and its shores from gibraltar to malta has been developed into a new asteroid which is starting on an independent orbit in the solar regions is not that your meaning precisely so the lieutenant acquiesced well then continued servadec it seems to me to be at fault in this respect it fails and fails completely to account for the geological character of the land that we have found now encompassing this sea why if the new land is a fragment of the old why does it not retain its old formation what has become of the granite and the calceros deposits how is it that these should all be changed into a mineral concrete with which we have no acquaintance no doubt it was a serious objection for however likely it might be that a mass of the earth on being detached would be eccentric in its movements there was no probable reason to be alleged why the material of its substance should undergo so complete a change there was nothing to account for the fertile shores rich in vegetation being transformed into rocks arid and barren beyond precedent the lieutenant felt the difficulty and owned himself unprepared to give at once an adequate solution nevertheless he declined to renounce his theory he asserted that the arguments in favor of it carried conviction to his mind and that he entertained no doubt but that in the course of time all apparent antagonistic circumstances would be explained so as to become consistent with the view he took he was careful however to make it understood that with respect to the original cause of the disruption he had no theory to offer and although he knew what expansion might be the result of subterranean forces he did not venture to say that he considered it sufficient to produce so tremendous an effect the origin of the catastrophe was a problem still to be solved ah well said cervidec i don't know that it matters much where our new little planet comes from or what it is made of if only it carries france along with it and russia added the count and russia of course said cervidak with a polite bow there was however not much room for the sanguine expectation for if a new asteroid had thus been brought into existence it must be a sphere of extremely limited dimensions and there could be little chance that it embraced more than the merest fraction of either france or russia as to england the total cessation of all telegraphic communication between her shores and gibraltar was a virtual proof that england was beyond its compass and what was the true measurement of the new little world at gorby island the days and nights were of equal length and this seemed to indicate that it was situated on the equator hence the distance by which the two poles stood apart would be half what had been reckoned would be the distance completed by the doberna in her circuit that distance had been already estimated to be something under 1 400 miles so that the arctic pole of their recently fashioned road must be about 350 miles to the north and the antarctic about 350 miles to the south of the island compare these calculations with the map and it is at once apparent that the northernmost limit barely touched the coast of provence while the southernmost reached about latitude 20 degrees north and fell in the heart of the desert the practical test of these conclusions would be made by future investigation but meanwhile the fact appeared very much to strengthen the presumption that if lieutenant prokop had not arrived at the whole truth he had made a considerable advance towards it the weather ever since the storm that had driven the diberna into the creek had been magnificent the wind continued favorable and now under both steam and canvas she made rapid progress towards the north a direction in which she was free to go in consequence of the total disappearance of the spanish coast from gibraltar right away to alicante malaga ameria capegata cartagena cape palos all were gone the sea was rolling over the southern extent of the peninsula so that the yacht advanced to the latitude of seville before it cited any land at all and then not sure such as the shores of andalusia but a bluff and precipitous cliff in its geological features resembling exactly the stern and barren rock that she had coasted beyond the site of malta here the sea made a decided indentation on the coast it ran up in an acute angled triangle till its apex coincided with the very spot upon which madrid had stood but as hitherto the sea had encroached upon the land the land in its turn now encroached upon the sea for a frowning headland stood out far into the basin of the mediterranean and formed a promontory stretching out beyond the proper places of the balearic isles curiosity was all alive there was the intensest interest awakened to determine whether no vestige could be traced of majorca menorca or any of the group and it was during a deviation from the direct course for the purpose of a more thorough scrutiny that one of the sailors raised a thrill of general excitement by shouting a bottle in the sea here then at length was a communication from the outer world surely now they would find a document which would throw some light upon all the mysteries that had happened had not the day now dawned that should set their speculations all at rest it was the morning of the 21st of february the count the captain the lieutenant everybody hurried to the foxhole the schooner was dexterously put about and all was eager in patience until the supposed bottle was hauled on deck it was not however a bottle it proved to be a round leather telescope case about a foot long and the first thing to do before investigating its contents was to make a careful examination of its exterior the lid was fastened on by wax and so securely that it would take a long immersion before any water could penetrate there was no maker's name to be deciphered but impressed very plainly with the seal on the wax where the two initials p are when the scrutiny of the outside was finished the wax was removed and the cover opened and the lieutenant drew out a slip of ruled paper evidently torn from a common notebook the paper had an inscription written in four lines which were remarkable for the profusion of notes of admiration and interrogation with which they were interspersed all right parfait there was a general sigh of disappointment they turned the paper over and over and handed it from one to another what does it all mean exclaimed the count something mysterious here said cervedec but yet he continued after a pause one thing is tolerably certain on the 15th six days ago someone was alive to write it yes i presume there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of the date ascended the count to this strange conglomeration of french english italian and latin there was no signature attached nor was there anything to give a clue as to the locality in which it had been committed to the waves a telescope case would probably be the property of someone on board a ship and the figures obviously referred to the astronomical wonders that had been experienced to these general observations captain servidak objected that he thought it unlikely that anyone on board a ship would use a telescope case for this purpose but would be sure to use a bottle as being more secure and accordingly he should rather be inclined to believe that the message had been set afloat by some savant left alone per chance upon some isolated coast but however interesting it might be observe the count to know the author of the lines to us it is a far greater moment to ascertain their meaning and taking up the paper again he said perhaps we might analyze it word by word and from its detached parts gathers some clue to its sense as a whole what can be the meaning of all the cluster of interrogations after galia asked cervidak lieutenant prokop who had hitherto not spoken now broke his silence by saying i beg gentlemen to submit my opinion that this document goes very far to confirm my hypothesis that a fragment of the earth has been precipitated into space captain cervadak hesitated and then replied even if it does i do not see how it accounts in the least for the geological character of the new asteroid but will you allow me for one minute to take my supposition for granted said prakop if a new little planet has been formed as i imagine by disintegration from the old i should conjecture that galia is the name assigned to it by the writer of this paper the very notes of interrogation are significant that he was in doubt what he should write you would presume that he was a frenchman asked the count i should think so replied the lieutenant not much doubt about that said cervadak it is all in french except a few scattered words of english latin and italian inserted to attract attention he could not tell into whose hands the message would fall first well then said count timoshev we seem to have found a name for the new world we occupy but what i was going especially to observe continue the lieutenant is that the distance 59 million leagues represents precisely the distance we ourselves were from the sun on the 15th it was on that day we crossed the orbit of mars yes true assented the others and the next line said the lieutenant after reading it aloud apparently registers the distance traversed by galia the new little planet in her own orbit her speed of course we know by kepler's loss would vary according to her distance from the sun and if she were as i conjecture from the temperature at that date on the 15th of january at her perihelion she would be traveling twice as fast as the earth which moves at the rate of between fifty thousand and sixty thousand miles an hour you think then said cervadak with a smile you have determined the perihelion of our orbit but how about the aphelion can you form a judgment as to what distance we are likely to be carried you are asking too much remonstrated the count i confess said the lieutenant that just at present i am not able to clear away the uncertainty of the future but i feel confident that by careful observation at various points we shall arrive at conclusions which not only will determine our path but perhaps may clear up the mystery about our geological structure allow me to ask said count timoshev whether such a new asteroid would not be subject to ordinary mechanical laws and whether once started it would not have an orbit that must be immutable decidedly it would so long as it was undisturbed by the attraction of some considerable body but we must recollect that compared to the great planets gallia must be almost infinitesimally small and so might be attracted by a force that is irresistible altogether then said cervidak we seem to have settled it to our entire satisfaction that we must be the population of a young little world called galia perhaps someday we may have the honor of being registered among the minor planets no chance of that quickly rejoined lieutenant prokop those minor planets are all known to rotate in a narrow zone between the orbits of mars and jupiter in their perihelia they cannot approximate the sun as we have done we shall not be classed with them our lack of instruments said the count is much to be deplored it baffles our investigations in every way ah never mind keep up your courage count said servidak cheerily and lieutenant prakop renewed his assurances that he entertained good hopes that every perplexity would soon be solved i suppose remarked the count that we cannot attribute much importance to the last line vabene all right parfait the captain answered at least it shows that whoever wrote it had no murmuring or complaint to make but was quite content with the new order of things end of book 1 chapter 15. book 1 chapter 16 of off on a comet this is a libra vox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by dykov off on a comet by jules verne translated by anonymous book 1 chapter 16 the residum of a continent almost unconsciously the voyagers in the debris fell into the habit of using galia as the name of the new world in which they became aware they must be making an extraordinary excursion through the realms of space nothing however was allowed to divert them from their ostensible object of making a survey of the coast of the mediterranean and accordingly they persevered in following that singular boundary which had revealed itself to their extreme astonishment having rounded the great promontory that had barred her further progress to the north the schooner skirted its upper edge a few more leagues and they ought to be abreast of the shores of france yes of france but who shall describe the feelings of hector servidec when instead of the charming outline of his native land he beheld nothing but a solid boundary of savage rock who shall paint the look of consternation with which he gazed upon the stony rampart rising perpendicularly for a thousand feet that had replaced the shores of the smiling south who shall reveal the burning anxiety with which he throbbed to see beyond that cruel wall but there seemed no hope onwards and onwards the yacht made her way and still no sign of france it might have been supposed that cervidax previous experiences would have prepared him for the discovery that the catastrophe which had overwhelmed other sites had brought destruction to his own country as well but he had failed to realize how it might extend to france and when now he was obliged with his own eyes to witness the waves of ocean rolling over what once had been the lovely shores of province he was well nigh frantic with desperation am i to believe that gorby island that little shred of algeria constitutes all that is left of our glorious france no no it cannot be not yet if we reach the pole of our new world there is there must be something more behind that frowning rock oh that for a moment we could scale its towering height and look beyond by heaven i agree you let us disembark and mount the summit and explore france lies beyond disembarkation however was another impossibility there was no semblance of a creek in which the debris could find in anchorage there was no outlying ridge on which a footing could be gained the precipice was perpendicular as a wall its topmost height crowned with the same conglomerate of crystallized lamella that had all long been so pronounced a feature with her steam at high pressure the yacht made rapid progress towards the east the weather remained perfectly fine the temperature became gradually cooler so that there was little prospect of vapors accumulating in the atmosphere and nothing more than a few siri almost transparent veiled here and there the clear azure of the sky throughout the day the pale rays of the sun apparently lessened in its magnitude cast only faint and somewhat uncertain shadows but at night the stars shone with surpassing brilliancy of the planets some it was observed seem to be fading away in remote distance this was the case with mars venus and that unknown orb which was moving in the orbit of the minor planets but jupiter on the other hand had assumed splendid proportions saturn was superb in its luster and uranus which hitherto had been imperceptible without a telescope was pointed out by lieutenant pro cope plainly visible to the naked eye the inference was irresistible that galia was receding from the sun and traveling far away across the planetary regions on the 24th of february after following the sinuous course of what before the date of the convulsion had been the coastline of the department of var and after a fruitless search of the hairs the peninsula of saint tropez the delurious islands and the gulfs of cairns and jewar the debrina arrived upon the site of the cape of antibs here quite unexpectedly the explorers made the discovery that the massive wall of cliff had been ramped from the top to the bottom by a narrow rift like the dry bed of a mountain torrent and at the base of the opening level with the sea was a little strand upon which there was just space enough for their boat to be hauled up joy joy shouted cervedec half beside himself with ecstasy we can land at last count to mass jeff and the lieutenant were scarcely less impatient than the captain and little needed his urgent and repeated solicitations come on quick come on no time to lose it was half past seven in the morning when they set their foot upon this untried land the bit of strand was only a few square yards in area quite a narrow strip upon it might have been recognized some fragments of that agglutination of yellow limestone which is characteristic of the coast of province but the whole party was far too eager to await and examine these remnants of the ancient shore they hurried on to scale the heights the narrow ravine was not only perfectly dry but manifestly had never been the bed of any mountain torrent the rocks that rested at the bottom just as those which formed its sides were of the same lamellas formation as the entire coast and had not hitherto been subject to the disaggregation which the lapse of time never fails to work a skilled geologist would probably have been able to assign them their proper scientific classification but neither cervidec to mass chef nor the lieutenant could pretend to any acquaintance with their specific character although however the bottom of the chasm had never as yet been the channel of the stream indications were not wanting that at some future time it would be the natural outlet of accumulated waters for already in many places thin layers of snow were glittering upon the surface of the fractured rocks and the higher the elevation that was gained the more these layers were found to increase in area and in depth here is a trace of fresh water the first the gallia has exhibited said the count his companions as they toiled up the precipitous path and probably replied the lieutenant as we ascend we shall find not only snow but ice we must suppose this gallia of ours to be a sphere and if it is so we must now be very close to her arctic regions it is true that our axis is not so much inclined as to prolong day and night as at the poles of the earth but the rays of the sun must reach us here only very obliquely and the cold in all likelihood will be intense so cold do you think asks cervidak that animal life must be extinct i do not say that captain answered the lieutenant for however far our little world may be removed from the sun i do not see why its temperature should fall below what prevails in those outlying regions beyond our system where sky and air are not and what temperature may that be inquired the captain with the shutter fourier estimates that even in those vast unfathomable tracks the temperature never descends lower than 60 degrees said percop 60 60 degrees below zero crowd the count why there's not a russian could endure it i beg your pardon count it is placed on record that the english have survived it or something quite approximate upon their arctic expeditions when captain perry was on melville island he knew the thermometer to fall to 56 degrees said percope as the explorers advanced they seemed glad to pause from time to time that they might recover their breath for the air becoming more and more rarefied made respiration somewhat difficult in the ascent fatiguing before they had reached an altitude of 600 feet they noticed a sensible diminution of the temperature but neither cold nor fatigue deterred them and they resolved to persevere fortunately the deep striat or furrows in the surface of the rock that made the bottom of the ravine in some degree facilitated their progress but it was not until they had been toiling up for two hours more that they succeeded in reaching the summit of the cliff eagerly and anxiously did they look around to the south there was nothing but the sea they had traversed to the north nothing but one drear inhospitable stretch servadec could not suppress a cry of dismay where was his beloved france had he gained this arduous height only to behold the rocks carpeted with ice and snow and reaching interminably to the far off horizon his heart sank within him the whole region appeared to consist of nothing but the same strange uniform mineral conglomerate crystallized into regular hexagonal prisms but whatever was its geological character it was only too evident that it had entirely replaced the former soil so that not a vestige of the old continent of europe could be discerned the lovely scenery of province with the grace of its rich and undulating landscape its gardens of citroens and oranges rising tear upon tear from the deep red soil all all had vanished of the vegetable kingdom there was not a single representative the most meager of arctic plants the most insignificant of lichens could obtain no hold upon that stony waste nor did the animal world assert the feeblest sway the mineral kingdom reigns supreme captain cervidax deep dejection was in strange contrast to his general hilarity silent and tearful he stood upon an ice bound rock straining his eyes across the boundless vista of the mysterious territory it cannot be he exclaimed we must somehow have mistaken our bearings true we have encountered this barrier but france is there beyond yes france is there come count come by all that's pitiful i treat you come and explore the farthest verge of the ice bound track he pushed onwards along the rugged surface of the rock but had not proceeded far before he came to a sudden pause his foot had come in contact with something hard beneath the snow and stooping down he picked up a little block of stony substance which the first glance revealed to be of a geological character altogether alien to the universal rocks around it proved to be a fragment of discolored marble on which several letters were inscribed of which the only part at all decipherable was the syllable ville vel villa he cried out in his excitement dropping the marble which was broken into atoms by the fall what else could this fragment be but the sole surviving remnant of some sumptuous mansion that once had stood on this unrivaled site was it not the residue of some edifice that had crowned the luxurian headland of in tibs overlooking ice and commanding the gorgeous panorama that embraced the maritime alps and reached beyond monaco and mentone to the italian height of port aguero and did it not give and it's sad and too convincing testimony that antibs itself had been involved in the great destruction cervidak gazed upon the shattered marble pensive and disheartened count to mass jeff laid his hand kindly on the captain's shoulder and said my friend do you not remember the motto of the old hope family he shook his head mournfully orbe fracto space iloisa continued the count though the world be shattered hope is unimpaired cervidax smiled faintly and replied that he felt rather compelled to take up the despairing cry of dante all hope abandoned ye who enter here nay not so answered the count for the present at least let our maxim be nail desperandom end of book 1 chapter 16.

OYNL-oWzY5g	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYNL-oWzY5g	Node JS Nest JS with Mongoose ODM #08	hi everyone and welcome back welcome to my playlist where i'm covering uh mungus with the node.js express and sjs so in the last video we have already covered uh node.js with the mongoose using simple express framework and we were having how to we were discussing how to insert update delete and fetch from the multiple collections how to define the relationships and the references from one collection to another collection into into one to one one to many many to many different manners okay now in this video we will quickly take a look on how we can use with the nest yes so i'm going to show you what just one simple example we are not going to do some kind of a demo so first of all mungus mungus is providing models right and we are going to inject the models in the nest js services that's the end of the story now you can have multiple models or a single model the code is little bit simple so what we are doing here is if you look at the folder structure it is same as my any other nestgs app so i'm not going to talk about okay how to establish a database connection i'm doing nothing but uh just getting this config from the mongoose and then we are just doing goose dot connect okay so this is the mongodb database connection here so this is mongoose module dot for root async this is the dynamic module and what you need to pass here in the mungus module the the option is just you need to pass the url the uri i mean mongodb uri and this uri i'm dynamically building and i'm passing it through this dynamic module okay now logger and all the other things are just optional here we are going to talk about the the domains let's say i'm doing company right so i have created a simple controller and for this i have a service so first we will talk about the service layer and the model so we need it's like we are defining model we are defining service we are defining controller first we are defining model model means nothing but a simple class in a nursery's definition in when while we were talking about express mongoose we were just creating a schema and creating model now that thing has little bit changed here because now we are writing typescript nest js so we need to be little bit more object oriented right so we are writing classes and for each and every property we are defining prop it's a name string it's a number it's a string again it's a string and it's a string so this is like company model we have created and we have to use these nice annotations provided by nesgus mongoose right so this is like a one model now we can define a multiple models company has an employee employee has the profile i mean you can define all different kind of a one to one one to many many to many kind of relationship that we will take a look on to the next video okay and we have created a company schema company schema we are going to extract from the company class okay using schema factory dot create class so we got the schema we got the model now how can my modules start using company model right company model means company just a database collection mongodb database collections and earlier in express we were doing company dot find by id company dot save company dot insert all these things how can i start using it for that you need to go to your module and you need to just do use a mongoose module.4 feature and just define your models and their respective schema schema we are getting from the model class so your name is company and the schema is this so similarly you can keep adding this is an array let's say i have a name is user and might be i have somewhere created a user model now with this i can access both these models in this entity module okay entity module now you can write n number of services those services should be able to use this company asked model and the user model it's same as like a typewriter module.4 feature similarly in the nest js mongoose they are providing mongoose model.4 feature it means that i am injecting i am providing these models or these orm entities to this module so that the services should be able to access it now in company service you can just use inject model this is the model name which you provided same with the same name and the model class right it's kind of simple model is the company is the class this is the model company model and now i can use this company model to make some operations like company model dot find company model dot find by id company model dot find by id and update find by id and remove all those things which you were doing and the create company company model dot save right so we are creating the object of the company it's like same this new this dot company model you pass the whole payload and then company model company.c that's it so the important part is how we are injecting these models into a module and at the service level how we are injecting that into service so what we are doing is uh simply inject model the model name which is a company the same name which we have specified here with the company schema so there are two properties we are passing the model name and the schema and then inside the services you can inject this so now rest all the things are simple in the controller controller will call this service okay give me all the company gave me company by id give me update this company with this payload i'm passing it the company id and the payload delete this company i'm passing you the company id create the company i'm passing you the payload uh create this right so a simple company model single model service which is just doing a crud operation the only important part is how we define the models using simple classes and how we are putting how we are providing this model in the service first we are doing mungu's module dot four feature before that obviously we are initializing the database connection and then mungo's model.4 feature after this your services inside this module should be able to access this company model using inject model and then you can just do company model dot this dot model instance dot all different database operations okay so this was quick uh because i just wanted to explain i have already covered this many times so this is the single model now in the next video let's say we build some something fruitful something like some apis in the ncs where we are accessing multiple models how we are defining the relationship all these things let's take a look in the next

eq6Z8OG7F_Q	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq6Z8OG7F_Q	Human Life Is Getting Better. Faster Than Ever Before.	Good morning, Hank, it's Tuesday. So I am very nearly 40, which as it happens, means that I'm almost exactly twice as old as the median VlogBrothers viewer. When I was their age, half my life ago, I was a sophomore in college. I had just fallen in love for the first time. I was taking my first creative writing class. I looked approximately like this: Of course, my life was very different then, and the world was different then too. Specifically, it was worse. That year 1998 More than 10 million children under the age of 5 died. over 50% of kids in low income countries weren't vaccinated and 30% of all humans lived in absolute poverty meaning that they survived on less than $2 a day in current US Dollars. Today 80% of kids in low income countries are vaccinated Fewer than 10% of people on earth live in absolute poverty and this year fewer than 6 million children will die Child mortality isn't just falling, the rate it's falling has been accelerating for 2 decades and after very slow progress for most of the 20th century and for that matter all of human history the cycle of poverty is suddenly breaking worldwide How did that happen and whats left to be done? well every year Melinda and Bill Gates release there annual letter on those topics And for me it's kinda required reading every year Because like the news can tell me what happened yesterday but reading the Gate's letter allows me to zoom out a little and think about what's happening in the larger human story over time this years letter is written to Warren Buffet Another Billionaire who's pledged almost all his wealth to charity but it begins by pointing out that most money for global health initiatives comes not from private individuals but from governments here in the US about $32 billion went to foreign aid last year which is less than 1% of the federal governments budget but it still goes a long way and I know foreign aid has a reputation for not working but in fact it is extremely effective and I also strongly believe that it's in our national interest like poverty and poor health are associated with an increased risk for conflict and also microbes are not aware of national borders so better healthcare systems around the world mean less disease risk for all of us ok. so as brilliantly explained in this video by in-a-nutshell we know that when child mortality goes down families chose to have fewer children which ultimately slows population growth it also means that kids on average will be healthier and more likely to go to school that there parents will be more likely to work Because they won't have to be home with sick kids so reducing child mortality has huge benefits not just for individual families but for entire social orders as bill says: for one thing its often inexpensive like many vaccines cost less than a dollar and vaccination is the number 1 reason child mortality declined so much but still most children who die do so only because they were born poor that is not acceptable and also we don't have to accept it we need to continue to close the gap between rich and poor countries when it comes to vaccination we need to improve healthcare for infants 45% of child mortality now occurs within the first month of life and we need to improve nutrition not just preventing starvation but ensuring that kids get all the nutrients they need thats a really big deal as Bill puts it: because malnutrition can stunt not just physical growth but also cognitive development which jusy compounds the disadvantages that the poorest kids in the world face this year's Gates letter also focuses on access to contraception Melinda writes: and this is another place where whats good for indivuals families can also have really positive impacts on the community as Melinda points out: Hank, 20 years from now when today's median vlogbrothers viewer is as old as I am now it is genuinely possible that both absolute poverty and child mortality will be rare everywhere on earth and I really belive that as a species our sucess is best judged not by how the richest or the best connected amoung us live but how the poor and the oppressed and the vulnerable live and I know that it may feel like absolute poverty and child mortality are beyond our control that only the Gateses and the Buffets of the world can move the needle but in reality it's up to all of us like when my kids get through a diarrheal illness with just Pedialyte and Advil it's up to me to remember and to prioritize the kids who die of the very same disease for want of rehydration solution when we vote, when we talk to our friends about what matters to us when we choose who's lives to pay attention to we are deciding what our future will look like Hank you told me once that bad news usually happens all at once while good news usually happens slowly and that makes it hard to pay attention to the good news but we still need the good news maybe now more than ever so I really hope you'll check out the Gates' letter in the doobly-do below it's honest and level-headed while still being optimistic which is what I want to be when I grow up Hank, I'll see you on friday	vlogbrothers	UCGaVdbSav8xWuFWTadK6loA	2017-02-14	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	932	5,141
aemfM0Sa7Ko	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aemfM0Sa7Ko	CAPITAL OUTSKIRTS \| Elden Ring (Blind) - Part 81	that's right I want to take care of that guy all right there we go let's wait till night at least I won't have to worry about invisible enemies also might not have to worry about other enemies at all because this actually worked out fairly well last time this one's probably a bit tougher than the other one I thought maybe because we don't know where I fought the other one so I actually don't know well he hurts oh I I keep doing that oh well whatever I have more Health than he did well I don't have more Health than he does per se but I have files and stuff you know what I mean I can out heal him honestly find this guy on the ground is much easier than other way around even though I missed there in there [Music] oh well I didn't actually expect that Demi oh to have a hard time getting up more so than usual whenever it's because of my weapons I have no idea actually there we go it's uh just uh I was gonna say he could probably Poise through that oh I'm surprised he poised that though I'm surprised he missed that actually how mine was just rude all right well you're almost done there we go nice and the horse lives for the second horse lives ah cool there's a map right there you know what I'll go grab that map I think it's about time I go that way oh I was expecting a bridge it's more like a big staircase all these messages oh geez oh [Music] the damn invisible enemies because the one torrent oh that does look fun where is he going I know what they're doing though Bob and weave bob and weave hopefully no one's in front of me okay oh wow uh oh those are horse people two of the oh look they're the bosses uh I will come back to you two later or maybe he'll come to me I don't know uh touch Grace that looks like uh two tree seeds right there as much as I feel like fighting two tree Sentinels at the moment I don't so I'll put that there put a pin in it actually I think I already had like four of these or something already should probably uh probably do this before I forget oh map Joy let's see what we got here all right hmm looks like a crater one of the falling star beasts there that looks like some ruins that's a cave well there's a finger Crone that looks like that leads up here though oh he's not okay interesting there that uh maybe look at that too where else oh what's this could that be that one Divine Tower I need to get to [Music] I almost just went right off the edge there oh dear that would have probably not been fun oh nope again well this looks about the way to go oh geez what is this oh jumping ahead um oh that's interesting it almost looks like a place I can go I'm just gonna have to loop around to look at that it might just be how you get to the other side of this stuff for okay bug okay I wasn't sure if I could oh [ __ ] I still might not be able to use it properly but at least it got it uninvisible which is all I really need well in that case let's flonk that out so let us see what is this attacking ahead yeah oh it looks like a mine actually ooh if it's a mine maybe I can find some smithing Stone threes oh that would be great if this place was just full of smithing Stone threes or or at the end of it if I got the ball bearing that lets me buy smithing Stone threes that would be epic wow there's actually a tunnel ahead I was not expecting that to be correct is that what I think it is that what I think it is yes ah finally oh yes smithing stone three here I come after I uh finish this cave up oh okay so I'll go this way looks like that's the way I need to go uh yes awesome it's all I wanted was smithing Stone don't know why I didn't do L2 or L1 or whatever I don't know what this uh I wonder if this will be a smithing stone three will I actually find a smithing stone three in the wild let's see nope I still cannot find a smithing Stone 3 in the world I found out how to buy them I still cannot find them they apparently do not exist except in stores I wonder what I'll be fighting at the bottom of this maybe it might just be another troll this area is a bit more extensive than I thought it was going to be not that I actually am complaining though they're no it's just that guy oh okay there I ooh you have more souls than usual I don't know why that hit but I at least I get health back from killing these guys I think am I getting Health back from killing these guys I should be but I don't know about my health I oh hello I didn't realize these guys had a grab attack you know all right these guys have quickly become very are you all right well that's not exactly what I was intending but I'll say okay I do get a little bit of Health back not a lot but it's it's it's enough it's fine by me I can understand why it wouldn't be more all right so I need to get to the other side of this huh probably jumping uh oh wait let's just take America oh this might be the boss area in that case I want to look at the rest of here I survive if I fell down there uh yeah oh [ __ ] that's not what I wanted to see down here oh oh [ __ ] ah I do not have the ideal weapons for this you know what hold on let me let me get out here real quick up up up up up up up ladder save me all right why why is the ladder working though am I on the wrong side I might be on the wrong side what I'm sorry I I can't uplift I had the prompt there no okay up Ladder Up ladder why no all right can I up now up up up up up up up up up up up up up up up ladder save me why can't I climb this damn thing I keep there we go see I want to kill it because it actually looks like it has extra ruins but this is not the weapons I want to use to I mean you know what weapon I'm gonna use against that thing damn it where you at I keep going past it what's going on oh there it is all right let's do this there we go ah you love to see it nice that is just extremely satisfying to do there's nothing quite more satisfying than that I'm inclined to believe these people oh material oh what the hell was that hiding huh I still don't get these strong foe acquired ahead does that mean I need to get someone to like hit this I feel like I'm missing something with these but I have no idea what it could be it's a strong foe acquired ahead so I wonder if I needed to get that thing to like run into it I don't know I'd imagine you jump up here maybe this is not the boss area oh [ __ ] hey okay hmm what are those things doing down here I wonder don't know how one of those hit me but I should give some health back from this at least huh so as long as I'm holding this weapon enemies dying okay that's good to know I wonder if I'm gonna be fighting some gravity thing you would think no they say hidden password they might be right and they are wow okay here is uh he's in my blood stains here actually ah I understand why tightrope my favorite part of a Dark Souls game still smithing Stone five I've yet to find them in the wild how am I supposed to get there I wonder probably from like there I feel like I'm like nope okay oh I see ah I know very well it's not that's probably not worth it but I'm gonna go anyways okay you [ __ ] lightning though that's interesting I wonder if whatever I'm gonna be fighting is gonna be weak to lightning that does seem to be what things have been implying what could I be fighting here Onyx Lord oh he just appears out of nowhere oh it actually looks like this guy would be better fought with a shield but oh well let's we'll see you seem familiar I don't know remember where though maybe it was that one place near Ronnie's area past the three sisters I need some salmon though but yeah I know I've fought you before that's for sure I just don't remember where oh well ow dark elf looking dude oh well as not a lot of poise but damn they just jumped right over him well apparently don't enough he does enough Poise damage to me though that's for sure oh well no don't do that oh now surprised that didn't pull me towards him that's usually how that works one more hit yeah there we go easy mode Onyx Lords great sword like I said let's see what that says where is that 16 and intellect but I have everything else I need for it oh until the Onyx Lords are just a race of people ah interesting Grace ahead where the hell am I oh oh I'm here I didn't expect this but okay I will not complain I thought I would have to get teleported here why is it always City yeah I don't know who knows maybe because people may build cities for some reason oh well there we go another two fingers no uh dead Ronnie all right let's see let's see what we got here cards great rune fed himself to the blast wait hold on was amongst the children of ranala in Radigan oh okay who became demikod stepchildren after ratican's Union with Queen oh so you don't have to be directly descended from Queen America to be a demigod which would explain so Ronnie wait so Ricard is Ronnie's sister because I would imagine Ronnie is the daughter of Ronaldo and Radigan I already got this I wonder how much uh I wonder how much HP I get back I think I will keep what I have though which is more HP more endurance and uh more FP never hurt oh my Lord a dog not really the way I wanted to go oh my let's try this again like this is a spirit spring not a Sprint spring hmm all right oh yes I needed more of these butterflies running out of them I'll just stick to this side look around these I guess City Garden City uh City Park what is this you don't have the oh yeah what the hell I don't have the right golden order that's me surely you see it too a gold as in droughts the heavens yes the correct tree which begets the pillars of light can not everyone see this that would be trippy tree and whatever you might face the fingers will surely guide you yeah they're bitter oh wait what does it say yeah that makes sense I can kill defensive therefore visions of sleep yes sleep [Music] oh hello Margaret it's been a while oh no I don't think I have the right weapons to fight you with oh we gave it a shot oh I can't even summon uh I can't even summon anybody in a while see how well I remember your moves goodbye I guess okay oh yep okay oh I figured that probably would happen they're really interesting place to fight him though that's for sure oh well honestly I kind of like Morgan even though he like killed me like 50 times probably oh right oh still hit me with that I wonder if I should bother with this Poise one doesn't actually seem to be doing much for me I always get out police anyways what could I put on oh hello I could put on uh I could do that I could do uh probably strength for now at least there we go do a little bit more damage I wonder if Poise dictates how well I can get out of I'm stuck I can't I'm stuck in these freighters I fought you so many times Market even now I remember your moves because that's just how many times I fought you now that's fair foreign that one didn't hit me also helped that each of your hits doesn't do half my health cool which is nice well that one might but I actually think that one doesn't even I think that's more like a third that one right there oh wow I don't think I've ever gotten well but I can finish this off right now that'd be neat oh come on oh well it's gonna open to finish you off with a cool critical but well the little guy now what nice little power nap and some kind of battle happened here I don't know what though I mean it seems relatively recent well actually come to think about I don't know actually how recent the shattering was I'm used to Dark Souls where like everything happened like thousands of years ago or something but in this case it might not have been that long I mean all the demigods are still around but I mean they might just be around because they're just very old and you know demigods I mean Ronaldo's still around though she's not a demigod maybe the shattering didn't happen that long ago actually well comparatively it still might have happened like decades ago but still oh that's right I can actually uh buy a smithing Stone threes now what I'm uh I'm gonna do that everything new to say located on a Lloyd his twin Melania The Undefeated swords woman okay Luna princess Ronnie daughter to Ronaldo technically found her only as the lord well this is new though we seek the whereabouts of the remaining three shot batters if you should learn anything of these matters I'll trade your findings for a hidden treasure or a long lost right known only to me we both desire to stand before this well you might you don't seem to be too interested in Ronnie so Ronnie I know obviously helped her out millennia is she's uh that's like a sword lady right the valkyrie chick that's who she is right I think so and Lord of blood and Melanie I think her twin they're like the same person or something or I don't know I might be I might just beep so it's like a picture or something but I could be wrong I imagine I'll find them together one way or the other that monk guy went to go find the brilliant actually you know what I'm curious because I found the brilliant gold mask over yeah so who among the first tarnish mentions how about I met yet I think just horrorlu Chieftain of the Badlands I've got his gear oh maybe he's dead where I swear if there's another dead Merchant here if there is okay congratulations sir that is a tree is there anything new with fear oh ah wasn't paying attention to the really like takes away like five percent of your health or whatnot what if this will give me it back oh yeah there it is my five percent oh it happens after oh yeah this is good but I am satisfied oh I looked solid there oh there might be some other options sounds like she's gonna leave soon go to Godwin and I guess she will birth a child that way and maybe that'll be like Godwin 2.0 like reincarnated Godwin maybe something I don't know maybe I don't know what I'm talking about a little Shack was that a merchant ah let's go love my Merchant Bros well there's so many blood stains probably that one guy that kills Merchants yes how long has it been probably a while I guess I'll buy this stuff later I actually don't need I actually have plenty of these at the moment so that should be fine I guess let's see beneath the capital I have a feeling that just refers to uh oh maybe not actually So Below the capital there are sewers ah dog yep see why buy a golden sunflower when I can just pick one out here well I guess we know where he gets them so makes sense the giant skull here hmm sir not sure how I feel about that what oh what's up it's one of those little snails okay well these death snails around here oh a death bird well that's not terrifying at all right well it's CI Fair at least that's new though I haven't seen this thing yet of course I have to deal with the damn snails oh cool just like get on my way I'm fine with that ow uh you know maybe I would like to do something at some point I did not include getting staggered by a bunch of dumb snails at least he kills them oh and that heals me actually that's hilarious now only helps me a bit but at least this is a new boss I haven't seen yet nice oh come on I want to get the I want to get there we go boom Oh not quite oh one good jump attack ought to do it nice at least that's a new enemy though or a new boss design solid amount of Souls oh I got a shield what was that one like do you like my Shields ah it's one of these sounds like something's big behind me is there something shooting at me is that what I'm hearing oh yeah that guy yay wait no if he's cheating on me oh I should have something not actually sure what but just wolves well this is new beware of taking on all at once yeah you don't say what in the world uh yeah I figured that was gonna happen what is this guy people are just dying oh wait it's one of these things oh it's just one of these guys oh he's not even a boss which I mean yeah makes sense oh surprised that hit me oh that's that's death isn't it I thought I hit the button but I didn't ow that should do it all right and the rest of these guys ought to be easy yeah yeah one tap okay not what I expected but you know it's a different than normal so I don't complain too much [Music] here's something like shimmering or glowing or something might just be imagining it but didn't expect weak foe you're not wrong oh I still get those though nice trickly cracked something rather briefly stop Rune lost on death and mixed physic that's solid if you ever want to know about it somewhere that is solid purifies the Lord of blood's curse in a mixed physic MOG Lord of blood have I encountered him before is that what I just got I can't tell what I just I know I got that I don't know what else I got though well I can always go talk to Giddy and see if that's something he wants to know about if that is indeed what I just got Lord of blood he was the one other demigod that we don't know where they are well Gideon doesn't at least all right I was wondering if the Rocks would block it that was correct foreign don't know why I'm oh cool I'm on the right side all right let's go let's do this put another guy over there um let's see we'll get rid of that since that's where I'm going damn I like right next to the urge tree that's crazy for all the holy [ __ ] there's another one of these things all right where do you go oh just eat right down I see well that's unfortunate who are you a draconic tree Sentinel well you look heavy oh yeah you know that makes sense oh you hit hard I mean that makes sense he's a draconic three sentinel what would you expect but at least me doing damage to his horse the damage to him which is good oh sweet ow well that really accomplished much it would seem I was like a claw Shield as I say that's probably gonna hit me not this time let's try dodging that instead I thought I hit Dodge but I guess I didn't that still hit me okay running through a little bit more of these than I would like add some lag I took that to the face wow that's not good oh okay nothing oh oh that's not exactly what I was expecting I was expecting a bit more of a build up to that oh like that all right you know buddy God damn it you know I thought I hit Dodge you know I'm hitting Dodge you know [Music] I'm gonna die yep yeah now it's been happening yeah I just accepted my death at that point if you're gonna be a stake Americorps you have to run all the way back thank you where am I hmm there you are who is dying all the time should have gone for that second attack I don't know if that really accomplishes anything if you didn't really seem to stay staggered for him any period of time actually no could have killed me a little bit happy about that little jump Dodge okay that's some annoyance oh [ __ ] I jumped right into that oh oh I didn't that's the first time I've seen that one okay all right so tell me kind of worked with that one okay I thought I hit Dodge but I guess I didn't ow e oh okay yeah oh [ __ ] I thought I was gonna drink faster than that but I didn't it took forever to take that second sip apparently oh doesn't have the lightning anymore that's good now that's less good though ah [ __ ] uh it doesn't seem to that's weird foreign [Music] keep doing that there we go nice 50 000 solid Dragon great claw nice oh actually great claw that sounds like a strength weapon probably Faith though oh actually not oh I could actually use it ew let me go was that it yeah there we go what does this look like a bomb hop on I'm so fat uh let me take these off real quick where am I oh oh I'm getting close to here oh so this is how I get there normally or from the outside I guess I'm not sure which way normally would be although I guess I got there from uh fair so it may not be normal [Music]	DelRunPlays	UCKAnt5LlG4Qxt7CLWVGoA5w	2023-03-01	Creative Commons

PCAO9Pi79YA	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCAO9Pi79YA	Ralph Paglia presents Search Engine Marketing (SEM) strategy for Car Dealers and Managers	when I was asked to do this when Mark dubis asked me to do something on on search for internet managers you know I thought about it and like most of you or like many of you I've gone through all the presentations from the vendors where they come in and they talk about you know we're going to get you a million words and all this other stuff and hype and um and then I started thinking from the perspective of if if you're working for a dealership and you've got sales reps coming in there and if what you know about search engine marketing is what you've learned from your vendors you've received sort of a slanted perception depending on the vendor and it's in the vendor's interest to convince you that this is so complicated that you can't possibly deal with it yourself that they can do it much better than you could and you know you need to do you know don't don't play with matches young man just give us the money um so what I the approach that I took is uh and don't get me wrong I do I have budget that I assign every month to to several very good vendors for search engine marketing because it's part of our strategy to diversify our our sem approach because it's become such a key component of our store success but what I want the approach I wanted to take today because in a limited amount of time I I said what can I really show these guys what I want to show you is what it's like to have your own to do it yourself now I'm going to hopefully I'll get a time I get a chance to talk to you all about why I use outside vendors because some of them are very good at what they do but basically 50% of my semm budget I manage in-house and 50% I Outsource used to be to more vendors I've narrowed it down basically our search is now being done by three vendors um I know at least one of them's in the room Nathan but but you know outside vendors that I trust for search engine marketing uh jump start busy results and uh and would bz it's I I kind you know they're they're my friends so I have to you know kind there's a lot of dialogue goes back and forth and and click motive and those three do a good job of it I've tried to use Cobalt and quite honestly Cobalt overcharges um I get upset every time a dealer signs up a Cobalt because when somebody buys from them you're reinforcing the fact that they're overcharging and that they can get away with it so the only way to get a vendor to to correct their pricing would be if nobody bought it and uh so you know I realized it's sort of I'm using a a bad platform for that but um I also made Mark very aware that when I do a workshop you're going to get opinions I'll Express them as opinions and then the stuff that's facts I'll show you as facts uh so we're going to go ahead and get started so we stay on time plus the room's full getting filled up anyways uh basically I work for curtesy Chevrolet uh I've been selling cars since February 13th 1981 so I guess that dates me a little bit uh these guys I was working for Reynolds Consulting Services I was assigned to the Asian car companies at the time I met these people uh through a series of circumstances I'm not going to repeat the story I told earlier today but they convinced me to come work for them and one before I came to work for these people I had heard about search engine marketing but I didn't really know what it was and when I right before I took the job a friend of mine that I had recruited to go work for the J Wolf Automotive Group in Kansas City when I was doing consulting work for them setting up their internet departments I called him up I said his name is Mark vicory and I said Mark I go come on I'm always giving you you know the secret sauce I go do you have anything good I'm I'm about to go back into retail after seven years of you know working for Reynolds um give me something that I can go in there with that's working right now and he goes well he goes I got something for you Ralph he goes but I don't like to tell anybody about it because I don't want other dealers to figure it out and this was in the spring of' 05 and I said uh come on Mark and uh he goes well he goes uh have you ever heard of search engine marketing and I says uh yeah that's where you adjust uh the key the words on your site you make your site so that it comes up in the search engines he goes no no no no that's organic that's SE that's SEO search engine optimization and I go what's the difference he go search engine marketing you pay for search engine optimization is uh basically the free listings and I go well free sounds better to me than paid and he says no huge difference he says optimization everybody in the country sees it and you don't have any direct control but with search engine marketing you limit it to your local market and um you have control over where your ads appear and what they say and things like that I I want to know more and he goes well there's this woman who is the granddaughter of the founders partner and she was doing the search engine marketing for other other companies her name is Betsy nanson and uh and I I saw Betsy at the NADA this year and and so she's doing it for our group and it's unbelievable we're getting you know over a thousand leads a month you know from her search engine marketing work and I said well let me have her contact info and so I got a hold of Betsy and after discussions and emails Betsy said to me she goes well she goes the initial setup I have two prices for you she goes uh there's the $1,500 setup and the $5,000 setup and I I said what's the difference she goes the $1,500 setup I do it all on my own you don't get to see anything the $5,000 setup I do exactly the same thing on I let you see everything and uh and I go explain and she goes because if you because I'll teach you what it is that I do and in about six months you're going to fire me and do it yourself so I did the $55,000 setup um she walked me through setting up my AdWords account pulled out my American Express card just I make sure my wallet's there pulled out my American Express card and took the dive and and created an outwards account and um and that started us on the journey I'm I'm about to share with you and for me it's been um I have a presentation I did with General Motors last week where I show an oil well a gusher you'all know what a gusher is oh my God it's oil and they did you ever stop to wonder what's with all the oil they're wasting they're all celebrating but all that oil is wasting literally for us has been a gusher we've actually over revved our ability to handle the lead volumes generated to where in the last shop Workshop I did I was talking about recruiting and hiring that's our biggest challenge we no longer Wonder we we literally to us generating leads has become like an accelerator pedal all it takes is money up and down and so and typically just like the way I drive too fast we we oversaturate ourselves with leads and we can't hire enough people to handle so with that said let's uh get underway here um just a couple fundamentals because I figured we'd have a range of people this image right by the way I I think I acquired this about seven years ago some of you are probably familiar with it there's basically if you're going to get involved with internet marketing EB business whether it's a BDC or an internet sales department or a combination thereof you need to solve for four issues there's four key components of any EB business strategy and this is universal one is traffic which means traffic to whatever web properties you're going to use as part of your marketing portfolio number two is um after and and and what I try to organize here is is from the customer perspective first everything that happens before the customer gets to your website you have to have strategy what's going to happen before they get to your website so they get to your website secondly after they get to your websites before before they submit an inquiry what's your website going to do to engage them so you get an inquiry or for that matter if you're using a vendor your third party lead providers do the same thing after the prospect submit an inquiry but before they get to the store what's your process after they you get a lead or a phone call um or excuse me after you get them to come to the dealership what happens when they show up at the dealership what's the process when they arrive how are they going to be greeted these four key key key components you can slice them dice them any way you want you're going to have to deal with it if you expect to sell cars so what I'm talking about today is 95% number one there'll be a little bit here in regards to landing pages and micro sites I just want to make sure because if you're expecting a process discussion you're in the wrong room basically for online advertising to get customers to come to your portfolio of websites and one of the things things that I and I hope as an industry we're going to move beyond the single website Theory one website is not enough folks you're never going to be able to make a difference with one website one website is the equivalent of putting up one billboard in a major Metro Market you need multiple Billboards located where different groups of people are and hopefully if you're smart enough you put the billboard in the Spanish neighborhoods in Spanish and you put the billboard in the in the in the white rich neighborhoods in in English and if you got a little Korea you you put up the Korean billboard in Little Korea okay it's uh you need more than one website so if uh micrites are a great way to diversify your portfolio of online web properties now how are you going to get people to go to all these different websites there's really uh from what I found out there there's four types of online advertising you can pay for it for placement on a website by time an example of that is AZ Central and Phoenix I pay them 1,500 a month they put our ad banner ads in rotation and depending if they sell a lot I get less rotation if they sell a little I get more rotation but I have no control over the rotation they just take my money and and when I go there I got to keep hitting refresh until I see my ad if I want to see it it it's a flat monthly fee for that ad uh probably more similar to newspaper ads you're paying for everybody there's payperclick which when most people think of search engine marketing they think of payperclick but what I'm going to show you because when I was thinking about what am I going to use my time on I figured a lot of you know what real search engine marketing is what none of the vendors will show you because none of them are willing to do it because it's too labor intensive you can use search engine marketing for displaying image ads banner ads uh multimedia ads video ads and place them on targeted websites using sem just don't ask a vendor to do it for you it's too much work pay uh pay CPM pay per thousand Impressions pay per conversion which is real interesting we have a company that uh will run cable tv ads in the middle of the night and I pay for every lead that comes in off the website the landing page that the infomercial refers to I don't pay for the air time that's called pay per conversion and that you're going to see more and more of that uh as other media channels compete with the internet you're going to see them getting more creative I I I thought I was going to uh I figured it must have been how the saying go when um when hell freeze is over uh the Arizona Republic actually came to us and there and the funny part was they keep going don't tell anybody because we're only doing this for you which I don't believe because they're a newspaper uh and they literally said if you'll run an ad with URLs in the ad we will guarantee you x amount of traffic to that URL from the newspaper ad and if we don't get it will'll adjust the price for the for the newspaper ad I sat back we haven't advertised in newspaper since September of 04 I I I I literally was just I was amazed I was like okay you for the first time in 20 years somebody from a newspaper has blown me away you know I can't believe you're willing to do that ask me if we did it did you do it nope you know why when I went to the owner with it he said I don't care those people robbed us blind for 50 years I'm never spending a dime with them again so I said but boss and he says it's a prin princial issue so anyway how to get it done here's the ads how do you get it done um self-manage do it yourself you can do it we're going to talk a lot about that today that's why I put green on that interactive advertising agencies um I don't mind I would have said this Nathan if you weren't in the room but I've worked with quite a few right now the only one I found that is really good and really honest and ethical and um I had just a delight to work with is jumpstart Automotive um they're good people I recommend them uh search engine marketing Services providers which are very different from interactive ad agencies jumpstart is really I mean they'll do it but they're what I'm talking about that they're really good at is something different than what click motive and and beey results do in terms of a of managing your sem budget and charging you a fee an administrative fee to manage it the going market rate and I please if any of you go back to your stores and want to start doing this do me a favor don't overpay because all you're going to do is spoil these people and then it makes it harder for people like me to negotiate the right deal 15% Commission on the actual media purchases in my opinion that's too high but that's the going market rate because I think it should be the same as ad agencies which normally charge 10% but that's the going market rate a 15% fee if you buy $1,000 worth of ads on Google and you have an agency that a service provider that manages it for you you should get a bill for $1,150 now on top of that some of them charge a licensing fee or monthly service fee um the the uh the fees what I would consider reasonable is somewhere between zero and uh $500 otherwise do you see what happens let's say you going to spend um we certainly spend more than that but let's say you're going to spend 4,000 a month if somebody charges you a $1,000 service fee you're paying a 25% commission and then they're going to do another 15% or more on top of that that is ridiculous people don't pay it'll go away if you don't buy it but I I feel bad because when I talk to my friends at Cobalt who I've been beating up because I actually want to use them because it's part of our strategy I can't get them to adjust the price because every time a dealer signs up they go see we're right don't pay people it's not wor it's not worth $1,000 monthly service fees and a 20% uh service charge they're not even that good at it all right I'll tell you who's really good honestly as click motive um they they do uh some some little uh in uh things differently than the others as far as they have some proprietary software and Bey results the only reason why I say that is with Bey results it's like having an employee somebody you can talk to that'll uh you can tell them okay uh we're pushing tahos this week stop call them up the next day stop the tahos I need to put the money on Cobalts we just got you know 48 Cobalts arrived I need to push Cobalts and what they'll do is tie it in with building customized uh deep links into the relevant content in your existing site they do a great job with the landing pages you know so they're okay but you know don't this is where you got to watch out right here you know what I pay bz for my sem fees for for the budget I give them zero because we do so much business with them so many websites they tried to charge I said no Sean wolfington I said Sean you're doing this for us for zero and he agreed to do it because we have you know multiple sites and we pay them a lot of money per month it should be included in that dealer advertising cooperatives for those of you that are GM dealers we call these lmgs Ford dealers call them fdas I believe in the future this is where search Eng and marketing really belongs and the in the ad groups I think that's actually the right place for one little tip if any of you are on in on your lmg boards are involved uh I went to an lmg meeting and combined with uh somebody who's here I don't know if he's in the room but Drew AMT from Midway Chevrolet normally Midway and us were like Mortal Combat enemies but on the lmg we both insisted that uh Campbell ewall retail and their search and and marketing do negative cam negative keywords on our on on our names that they would specifically exclude bidding on courtesy or Midway or van or Chapman or you know cuz otherwise we're just bidding against ourselves we're bidding against our own ad associations and we got that done they did that wasn't even that hard now um the only reason why I show this is is we put the bulk of our money into Google we do use Yahoo the new Yahoo Panama sem management tool is good what they're basically doing is Yahoo's getting more and more like Google Google's business model Works um for those that aren't too famili Amar with this basically with search engine marketing it's an auction and you're bidding for placement of your sponsored links otherwise known as an ad in this case a text ad to appear and the reason why we started using it is because when somebody goes online and types in something like Chevrolet Corvette dealer Phoenix if you're selling Chevys and you got Corvettes do you want to get that c that person's attention that is about as direct a Corvette lead as you're going to find when they're searching for information about Corvettes okay most people don't do it because they're looking for the 128 scale toy models they're usually that kind of a search so we decided that that was a sweet spot we wanted to get that customer I can remember it well August 2005 I went to this URL adwords.google.com and then it pops in the automatically the select login and uh Betsy walked me through the process of setting this up start now and uh we've never been the same since uh the the what happened after that is in ' 06 we we retailed 11,000 cars we'd never broke 9,000 before we went from 7,000 new to 7,700 plus new and we sold over 4,000 of those cars to internet leads and a good chunk of those leads came from our search engine marketing when when you get into this the AdWords team the Google team supplies a remarkable amount of coaching and guidance at no charge what really amazes me is any one of you in this room I really mean this because if you're here at this conference you're you know you're amongst the best of the best in the industry any one of you can go in here without this Workshop without any assistance at all you can figure this all out I mean Betsy showed me a few things but it was it was easy it was I've learned more from Google than I ever learned from Betsy it was still worth the 5,000 with that I had within 45 minutes I I had going I was just tinkering around playing with it 45 minutes you'll have some stuff going Y and it's amazing when you realize what you can do with the tools Google supplies it's very difficult to justify Outsourcing it because it's actually fun I mean you'll it's it's good stuff I mean you're going to love it so once you this is the when I when I log in this is my campaign summary and uh oh by I I wanted to bring up this point how many of you ever heard a vendor make this claim like we're going to get you a million different keyword combinations has anybody ever heard that okay well I'm going to tell you from somebody who's tried to do it Google won't let you they're full of crap okay I have I have built my one main account up to the point where Google sends me this message we are unable to process your request to add or edit your keywords adding these keywords would increase your account's total number of keywords Beyond a manageable amount please add fewer keywords or reduce the number of existing keywords in your account refining your keyword list blah blah blah blah so I got a hold of my friends at Google who are just phenomenal people in their Automotive division to work with they don't know a darn thing about selling cars but they know this stuff and uh so I've been trying to teach them about selling cars so it's been a sort of a cross-pollination pro process um I'll be at the Google Plex on April 19th I'm proud to have been invited they're going to have CEOs all the major car companies there and I'm the I'm the uh I call it the Iguana um I when I was a kid my father brought me to a WT grants now I'm really telling you how old I am WT grants and they had an aguana and I wanted it so let me buy it we brought it home set it up on the kitchen table in a in a terrarium I sat there staring at it was and I I got overcome I remember I was maybe nine years old and I thought now what do I do well I get to be the Iguana they're going to bring me up to the Google Plex and I'm I'm the one token internet you know dealer guy that they're going to bring up there for the CEOs all these car companies so I'm going to play with their heads when I go up there it'll be fun I get to be the Iguana but any rate uh I the point I was trying to make here is um I called him up and I said so how many is too many what's the limits about 100,000 you can manag about 100,000 uh keywords and then when you hit the wall that's the message you get I was actually kind of proud of myself when I hit that uh took a lot of work it's kind of like breaking it's kind of like running out of your color when you're playing Roulette in Las Vegas internet that's yeah there you go that's what it felt like um okay let's talk about some results uh just to kind of draw into this and I'll show you how we did it from January of 05 to July of 06 when we really got uh uh this is our leads and and I'll show you where we started uh doing the search engine marketing I think you can probably tell on the chart here here's August of 05 when I started with Betsy nanson look what happens to our lead volume okay all you know the results kind of speak for themselves we now clip along pretty consistently over 5,000 leads a month single single rooftop Chevy store are these sales leads have service leads these are just the these are well hang going to say when I pull this report out of Buzz track there's a few service leads get mixed in there by accident uh but the service leads are actually routed to a to a different account I mean we've tried to isolate that not for metrics purposes just because we're so over with sales leads we don't have time to fool around with the service leads our service department has hooked up with one of the vendors anybody out there know as time Highway well we use time highway to get in to for our online service appointments that goes into the service department and they do uh 20 to 30 or so appointments a day that come into the dealership from the online service and then we have nen that handles the toll-free phone numbers that uh they book a service appointment and they use that same technology that the customer uses online the the service department is really happy with that whole setup well the only reason why I answer during our search engine marketing campaign Covered N months 90% of our phone calls service interesting and I'd say 90% of our email I can tell you how to eliminate the the uh the results for service you have to use negative keywords I use I put in negative service negative Parts on all my campaigns so if somebody searches for service of Parts my ad doesn't appear searches for service car what were they searching for Man car dealer Nissan Maxima all still search I'd say that represents a substantial service business opportunity because in our Market we don't we just don't see it no I I I but I bet your service manager is so maybe you could get him to pay part of the bill I've been able to uh when we did the our monthly newsletters our service department kicks in 50% cuz half the people that responded to our newsletter were it was about service interested in service I went to the service manager gave showed him it he says well if you can route it so that I get those leads and can give them to one of my service advisors and I'll pay for half the newsletter of course I've got a incredible service parts and service director John Dunlap is's just a really Savvy business guy we're in the process of building a national parts website to start selling Parts over the internet too anyway I I go off and too much of a tangent here's what was going on there conventional internet strategy no sem here's what happened when we got into to sem campaigns implemented um and that would be these are the actual sales these are the actual sales uh on pure internet leads this does not count the BDC Less on phone leads or just last uh there the phone leads because we use buzzrack we have some of the toll-free numbers that automatically go into the CRM tool and yes they would be in those uh reports uh the phone leads represent about 800 a month give or take some months more some months less uh and we do very well with the phone leads are those newer used or both both new and use um I have a real hard time with search separating uh as much as click motive does a real good job yet their used campaigns generate as many new leads as as used leads and same vice versa the new campaigns we get a lot of used leads so I mean we're not going to look at gift horse in mouth we're perfectly happy with that but as far as trying to isolate the leads and we know because we've even set up separate Source Tags by the campaign and we still get a whole bunch of crossover into both but for that matter for those of you who don't know um there's a some recent uh Cobalt did a real a real thorough uh study and they did a really nice job with it um but one of the things they tracked working with RL pulk was 40% of new car leads end up buying a used car you know and that's for us that's been one of the biggest Revelations of the last six months is trying to figure out how to get our share of the used car business out of new car leads but again let's vote this we're going to talk about search engine marketing our lead volume in ' 06 let's fast forward let's talk about this past calendar year 14,792 search engine marketing generated leads now there is some SEO mixed in there but the majority of that is from Paid search as opposed to the search optimization um our CRM and BDC recycled leads the reason why I mentioned mention this is these are that what they do is they rework the leads that the sales teams are unsuccessful in selling they'll work them for months and months and months and finally bring somebody in so there's a good portion of that probably representative of this being 24% of the total that ends up we end up selling them a car six months later because of our CRM you know processes delivered uh executed by The Business Development Center so and I like to point that out cuz as much as the direct sales that we give to SEO this is sort of a almost measurable branding impact in that we get the customer in our database and we mark it to them Market to them Market to them and six months or a year later we get a deal out of it um but the way we track it is at that point it goes into the bdcs uh reporting and so it comes out of the internet sales team but they're both part of my my department so it's all good as far as the sales volume a little disproportionate 27% of our sales 1,75 cars we sold last month as a result of search uh 1695 out of the BDC GM leads we we have a excellent closing ratio we just can't get enough of them and then our third party leads 989 sales last year to our third party leads a lot of people ask me do you use this do you use that do you use this I just keep going yes yes yes okay because if we can make money on it we'll do it we're not going to say no I don't want to S I don't want to sell these people cars I don't like the third party lead providers we don't care we want to sell cars to everybody so that's what we try to do as long as it makes Financial sense we do it do Define you get a lot of duplicates between yes 25% 20 and you're going to I'm going to show you a chart we average about 25% of our total lead volume is duplicates of some kind uh and that's by Design By the way um this is where our now let's talk about traffic we've talked about leads and we' talked about sales remember going back to the to the traffic interactive website process and then what happens on your showroom going back to that traffic component pure traffic part of my mission was to grow the traffic so what we did is we develop various online properties and various strategies and then we track it all each month it's kind of a pain I have an administrator that she you know I get all these different reports omniture site C Catalyst um the guy that builds my homemade uh uh micro sites he's got some tool that I never heard of but it tracks the VIS unique visitors and stuff any rate she pours it all into a spreadsheet and that's where this report comes from where we really started getting it we really started amplifying our results has been from here which is this is January of 07 December November October September last August and if you'll notice the section that's grown the fastest has been the micro sites the traffic that we've been able to drive to our various micro sites now there's a reason for that a good sem strategy that makes use of specialized micro sites that really deliver specific content that's directly connected to the ads after a while they start generating organic traffic when you first launch them you got three months you're in that uh that sandbox where nobody sees it on the search results and then be then after about fourth month it starts to appear by six months you can start backing the money down let it drive organic and then go to your next micro site put the money there so this is micro a micro site is a a website it's not a landing page is one page with a form a micro site has multiple pages but it's very spec it's very limited and it's very specific to a specific concept for example we have special Finance micro sites we have a micro site for tahos we have a micro site for Suburbans we have a micro site for Avalanches we have a micro site for Silverado every model has its own micro site every month we have a budget to launch another micro site part of my challenge is coming up with new ideas after a while the you know first few are kind of easy for example we have a microsite for people with great credit attached to Unique URLs and what it's all about is if you got great credit we explain to them we can get the roaches bought if we can sell you a car and get the financing so we will give you a better deal on the price to improve our overall credit score of our loan portfolio so we can help disadvantage people you can take advantage of others bad credit by letting us have access to your good credit to sell you a car and we're going to pay you for that privilege and uh my finance manager came up with the idea we built it launched it it works okay Ian we get some leads we sell handful of cars off of it but again it's you know at a certain point you're stretching for the ideas for Concepts yes sir do you use V yes we use busy results for certain types we use um I got a local I got a guy at worked in my parts department we now have given him enough business my parts manager is kind of mad but he quit and now he's working for us as a contractor because I pay him on a I pay him $650 per micro site and $35 a month to host them so we got enough now that he quit but and that's what he's doing so let's catch 22 on your micro site I think it would be obvious you have clicks for all your sites every every yeah every micro site the lead comes in at the source in my CR in my buzz track CRM tool at the source identifies the site it came from the way I know where the tra how the traffic gets to the site is I've got a portfolio of over 600 URLs that we we we manage and we assign a unique URL to every campaign so when I go into that sites reporting tool I do a lead I do a a referring URL report for leads that have been submitted and that tells me exactly how many leads came through that micro site from that URL the URL is associated with a unique campaign um URLs are dirt cheap diamond I mean sometimes we have URLs that are nonsensical just because we I'm kind of make them up next time you're online I don't want to offend anybody but you know we have with this stuff um you know we've got gay heavy.com and we've got um well you got gas was one of the first ones we ever did you got gas and you know we kind of had fun with that um I don't want to offend anybody know we're in the Bible Belt but I it's my own personal belief that if Jesus was here today and he was going to buy a car in the United States he would buy a Chevy I I that's what I believe I mean and so we own Jesus drives chevy.com so and uh and we have we have Christian Chevrolet Christian Chevy you know um we have a lot the the people I work for are very deeply spiritual and you know so sometimes we kind of cross the line a little bit but we try to you know we're not going to prze crossability ones yes we do on each of the sites well here's what happens once the site comes out of the sandbox it gets organically it gets index you can't you can't avoid it okay um and plus we submit it we go to for any of you that don't know you can go to google.com/ add URL and you can put in a URL and request you know put it in the Quee to be uh index by the search spiders uh we do that's one of the things we do with a new site after a while it got to be too much work to do it with all of them so we basically when we launch a site we submit the URL to be uh indexed then after that it just happens automatically yeah yes can you manage the content of your sites from a single or do you have to go into each individually manage the reports or cont cont it depends on who built it for us okay if uh my bz my bz micro sites and my bz main websites I can go into one backend tool there's a drop down that allows me to pick the specific website or micro site I want to manage and I click that and then all the changes I make will impact that site that's really nice and I wish I could I had all of them like that but but I just can't afford it um the ones that my parts guy builds for us it's all one I basically I don't even bother with it I just send him an email going change this change that and he gets it done now the mistake I made is I turned on a few other dealers to him and now what I get back from him is from Dave Jackson he goes well Ral I'm I'm building this Mercedes sign this guy's giving me $5,000 and I I I can't do your your stuff until I get this stuff I go but I gave them to you you got don't forget who brought you to to the party you know so anyway it Lessons Learned right Lessons Learned and I'm God bless him I'm glad he's doing well with his business and I'm glad to help him do it but I just wish basically if any of you are really good at building micro sites I'd love to get a hold get a hold of you because we could use some help also if you link get better organic oh yeah this is it's interesting what s just brought up let me share a this is sort of a it's a little bit of SEO more than sem um we had a really uh an experience that I said at the time I I wish I knew how this happened because I'd like to duplicate it uh but I'll be the first to tell you I it wasn't on purpose when the new Camaro Concept came out in December of 05 at the Detroit Auto Show everybody that's in the Chevy business we all got real excited oh we're getting a Camaro again and so I went and this is when Dave Jackson didn't have the other dealers I referred to him keeping him busy and I literally was looking for work for him and I I so I said to Dave I go Dave I need you to build a a a a Chevy Camaro micro site for me all kinds of information we'll scour the internet for every photo we can find all the spy photos and stuff and and I bought several Camaro URLs one of which was 2008 Chevy camaro.com because back then we thought it was going to come out as an ' 08 model turns out it's going to be an 09 model in the fall of 08 uh but it turns out it didn't matter um once we got it built everybody in the store looked at it everybody was like man that's cool now what do we do can't sell anybody Camaro so what so we didn't do anything but I didn't take it down either I just let it sit there uh it has a form right on the front page about four months into it one of my guys goes Ralph what's with these stupid Camaro leads what you know I can't what are we going to do with these people I went into Buzz track and I looked and I remember cuz I looked and I said oh my God we had gotten 128 leads on from the Camaro site and it was the 10th of the month it was like April of 06 like last April and uh so anyway we devised you know our own I'm not going to waste time going over we've figured out what we're going to do with these chamaral leads make a long story short we now get four to 500 leads a month through this Camaro site we've never spent a dime on it and uh we have a database of uh over 4,000 people that want Camaros and every once in a while just to see what's out there I like I said on an email not too long ago saying um we are uh working on a project where we can award ADV Advance allocation of a new Camaro production slot to people that are in our database please respond and let us know if you're interested it was UN unreal it's amazing when you can't sell something how many people want it where was it there's over 2500 out of 4,000 hit reply and it's actually was a problem because some of them I couldn't get rid of they're like I want I want now I got one guy calls me yesterday I got $115,000 in cash I'll give you right now to give me the first Camaro and and we just don't work that way that St we do not take deposits until we actually configure the vehicle and order it and have an allocation number production number to give to the customer we never charge over MSRP it's against our principles and so you know we people get mad take my money no take my you're a car dealer damn it take my money um and uh you know we go no so we're working on some things but here's one thing I did end up doing I printed out these this big list it was several pages long I gave it to uh Mr gell and I says next time you go up to Detroit cuz he's on the national dealer Council give this to whoever and tell him you want more Camaros and uh and I was kind of half kiddingly doing this to him you know kind of want to impress him how many Camaro leads he looked it over he says I can use this to get more Camaros General Motors will allocate us more cars if we have a waiting list of customers I was talking oh no no you link you link from site to site you're going to get you're going to get better organic uh let me tell you how powerful that is that Camaro site generates 22,000 unique visitors a month with no advertising at the bottom of the Camaro page and you can all go to 2008 Chevy Camaro and check it out just please don't fill out a lead anyway uh everybody here when you go in there you'll notice at the bottom of the page are text based links to all our other micro sites and direct deep links in our inventory you know we just have a whole smart whatever it is we put it in there everything but the kitchen sink down at the bottom one month I'm looking at the report for 2007 tahoe.com which has been a great source of business for Us sales and I noticed on the referring URLs 2200 customers came to 2007 too.com from 2008 Chevy camaro.com and I was oh my what a revelation that was and what he what s's talking about is as these people if you put if you link text links not image links text Links at the bottom of these micro sites now you have two things going on that the traffic you pay for some of these people you you end up getting a bonus because they click on one of the links down at the bottom and go to other properties but more importantly the search engine spiders crawling that micro site it go to each of those links and it becomes a geometric that's why our traffic in the last 6 months have spiked because of all the inter Lincoln micro sites uh and it's uh it's truly something that when it first started happening I really wanted to be able to duplicate it and I didn't quite understand it now we got a real handle on it and this this will keep going up and up because uh we now have a six-month process for every micro site we have a life cycle to each micro site where at the end of the life cycle it becomes organic all the traffic is organic yeah can you do that on every page all the Links at the bottom all the micro sites have links yes very important down here if you take a uh one of the things we like to do is take a look at closing rates now I want to caution when we start talking closing rates I'm real sensitive about this we're not that good our process execution could be a lot better it's probably our weakest uh link because we don't have enough people we're short on help over here see these invalid leads 24% invalids most of those are duplicates our SEO leads 38% you see that 38% invalid well that invalid is removed from the total before the closing rate is calculated the reason why there's so many duplicates on the sem generated leads is because of the links they bounce around and they fill out more lead forms now if somebody's going to run around the internet for six hours filling out forms where do you want them to go to your store right so we're perfectly happy with this if they want to submit inquiries they can all come to ciry Chev and I'm okay with that we don't have to send them to Midway or van or Chapman they can send them all to us and we're not going to say oh geez stop stop sending leads to us you need to send them to one of the other Chevy stores we're not going to do that so we're okay with this the 38% 5600 were duplicates and we're okay with that but next to our GM leads it's our highest closing rate people ask me why I'm going to tell you why because with a micro site they know exact exctly the leads com to Courtesy chevolet or in some cases tomorrow morning we're going to talk about when they don't um and uh they also have picked out a specific model you know most of this is either a credit micro site or it's a micro site that um is on a specific model somebody goes to 2007 tahoe.com and says I want a Tahoe from Courtesy Chevrolet it's just not that hard to sell them a car compared to a third party lead where they didn't even know the lead was coming to us and the lead is simultaneously sent to four other dealers at the same time so you're you're splitting a pie several ways Spanish micrite yes Latinos chevy.com and by the way you can try that as one word hyphenated I also have Latino Chevrolet Latino Dash Chevrolet anything any variation of Latino Chevy goes to my Latino Chevy site next next we got we have we're in Phoenix it's not hard or span speaking salespeople um uh just a here's some numbers for those of you that uh haven't seen something like this before basically what I'll go to the general manager on a specific campaign a lot of times we'll budget a specific campaign uh 33 million impressions 29,000 uh visitors 2248 leads 174 Vehicles sold this was over a uh 4month period 7,801 we spent directly with Google it's probably why they they're so nice to me uh $2 16 per thousand Chopper Impressions $243 uh per clickthrough $31.95 average cost per lead generated you're going to hear the third party vendors talk about numbers like $13 $15 $18 that's because they're very aggressive on generating the lead I want to point out to you that that 243 okay that's because you're in a very competitive market yes it is y'all who are not in Mark might be pay3 to doll the minimum bid is 40 cents it is well in my account they must know that we're suckers for this stuff because in my account it's a 40 C minimum B of your it doesn't good to make a ni because you would never get yeah less less competitive places you're paying fraction okay I and and I know I overdid it so we're going to run that of time I just want want to move along hey for those of you that want to discuss stuff let's do that after the workshop we have a little bit of a break I want to get for some of the people that don't do this this SCM you're basically buying the right side of the page and the top what's really interesting is I went to a Google Workshop you everybody always wonders how do you get to the top and the blue shaded stuff it go it's from a quality score you have to have a quality score above a certain level in the index and I'm going to show you how Google figures your quality score um one of the things and I really want to focus on the stuff the vendors won't sell you one of the things you can do is you can build your own image ads and and use Google to pick the websites you want those image ads to go to and I'm going and I want want to use the remaining time to focus on that because two people won't show you Google won't tell you about this because they split the revenue 50% of this ad Revenue goes to the website operator so Google is not too they're okay I mean it's a good everything they do Works um but they would much rather have you do search because they get 100% of that Revenue this this is a shared Revenue the um the third party providers search providers will not do this for you I haven't found I tried to get click motive to do it for us because I was at one point I was spending about 20 hours a week doing this stuff and they uh steuart took a look at what I was doing he says Ral you can't pay me enough to do this and uh so what we've just now what I've done is I've trained people that work for me to do it and everybody gets their own little project which is kind of neat you come to my store and I've got six people that know how to do all this stuff um this right here is what you call content placement you have the choice to besides search you can have your text ads show up on various websites that are in the Google network based on the content or the text that's within your uh your sponsored link and this is kind of cool because if you do this right and I use the URLs for this that's part of what we use the URLs for you can get onethird the cost of a search placement on a Content placement because it's because it's a it's there you're not you're competing with less ads that have the right content to show up this is a Chevrolet Silverado link so on GM Insider news Google pulled this out of the Hat said uhhuh this has something to do with GM we're going to show this ad and I get it for about a 66% discount and and that really maximizes the budget do you on your compor local are we're going to talk about that tomorrow morning that that comes out in the dirty tricks Presentation tomorrow morning let me tell you something what I do is perfectly legal but it probably shouldn't be um yeah any rate benefits on payperclick you got control feedback relevancy measurable results keyword-based advertisers advertising that's when they search for GM inside new they search for a website they click on it Google then owns the space inside the website they put one of your ads in that space based on what the original search was that's a Content ad it's a phenomenal no wonder they make billions of dollars these people are geniuses question cont separ well it depends on what level at the at the ad group level yes at the aggregate when I'm pulling them down my reporting there's only so many hours in the day at a certain point it all gets thrown in the soup okay but at the at the ad group level absolutely I raise and lower my bids on content my goal for content is to get the lowest cost clear possible it's a little different than the search clicks where I'm really looking for people searching for certain products and I'm willing to pay more for certain people oh that's yeah that's the whole mix that's everything everything's search um oh one more thing you got everybody needs to know this your content network members what I love about content is all the search marketing providers are going to talk trash about content placement ooh bad tacky oh n and you don't want that stuff I'm telling you I got the proof because when somebody tells me that I don't want some it makes me want it more and um so I started looking into it and I said well how come I don't want something that costs less and my ad shows up right in the middle of a website and and it's because it's because of the way that the search provider the the service providers work and their commission model for some odd reason they don't like it here's just a handful of those content uh websites that with content bids you can get on and if you write your ads properly and you have the right URLs you can get your ads that show up on these websites geot targeted in your market for a lot less money than your search listings what he's talking about real just one real quick thing I went to my space put in my name because I was looking for my son who was in the Army overseas and there was my freaked out like what is this doing here content yeah exactly right but I didn't even know it and I was advertised I just wanted to see who was putting my name in there and it was I was actually advertising on my didn't know mhm you ought to see what it cost to advertise a my I tried to advertise a MySpace directly for anything less than 20,000 a month they won't even talk to you um so it's that that's a back door for those of you that have Chevy franchises back when Chevy had the big connection with Edmonds AutoNation had a lock on all the ads inside the Edmond site the only way I could get my ads to appear on Edmonds was going through the back door using Google and we got them in there we bid Max I found out what the maximum bid was um optimize your campaigns and AD groups for higher quality scores people quality scores determine how much you have to bid to get your ad to show up if you can Master the art of raising your quality score you can get lower cost traffic to your website every one of you in this room is capable of doing this do not expect an outside provider to get involved with this they say they will they're churning numbers like you can't it's too much to expect them to do the higher the quality store score the lower your minimum bid and the price that you're going to pay per click quality score is determined by the click-through rate the relevance of the text in the ad itself the historical keyword performance you know compared to other uh advertisers and the content and layout of your landing page this is new a lot of people don't know about this uh I went to this Google Workshop about a month ago and they told me they did this around the first of the year whatever your landing page is connected to your ad Google immediately goes in there and indexes it the more relevant it is to the search word the more likely your ad that links to your landing page is to show up um which is again I'm never amazed at the genius of these people at Google steps increasing your quality score I'm not we were out of time so I'm not going to go through that but if you want to take a look at it um if any of you want to know about it I'm still working on understanding the stuff uh basically I ripped this off from the Google Workshop I copied and pasted off their to build these slides but that's how you do it um this is my one of my accounts we have multiple accounts two types of campaigns keyword and site targeted I'm going to pick up speed here keyword variations this is what I'm talking about you this is some of the most fun stuff I've ever seen you get to look at how many customers are searching for certain string of keywords compared to how many of your competitors are bidding on it so if you have a keyword you know for example when I first saw this see that Phoenix Chevrolet dealers what do you think the first thing I did was I went and bought Phoenix ch- chevrolet.com second thing I did is I went and bought Phoenix Chevrolet dealer.com this is how we acquire URLs we look at keyword popularity because if I put the keywords in the URL I bake it into the ad I can then get content placement at onethird the cost of a pure purchase of the keyw now this right here folks is the secret sauce this is it this is a secret sauce if you're a Chevy store I I feel your pain because I got them all except for the ones Chapman and uh and a couple of my competitors snagged while because I only had so much money a month to buy URLs originally designed there's here's another little this I I was going to put this in the dirty tricks presentation Google has a tool where it'll extract the keyword out of your website so I was experimenting with this and I said why do I got to use my website so I put in chevrolet.com it was like a keyword Bonanza was like it the gusher effect I got like 400 beautiful keywords Bam Bam Bam got to see how popular they were you know you see stuff like this Chevrolet Malibu everybody in my market bids on that when I first started it was like that now all the other stores have jumped on the band wagon I have one of my competitors literally that's how easy it is yep I have one of my competitors literally tells me he says Ralph he goes all I do is I sit back and I watch what you're doing down at courtesy and then I just copy it and do it better Chapman Chevrolet Nick Bruce have a lot of respect for him every micro site he builds that copies one of mine is better than mine I get very jealous I try to hire him but he makes too much money um over here this I I just I love these tools February search volume Advertiser competition add or remove to your campaign you can literally dial this into where you're bidding separate bids for each word and you can have a separate destination URL for each word so we go in we select our words we just and I did I I actually did this this morning I was building these slides 896 keywords added to my ad group doesn't take long to hit 100,000 I've done it that's when you open up another account but you got to use a different credit card otherwise the only one ad appears uh over here these words are inactive because I didn't bid enough because my quality score was too low so I go in I select them these words that are now I've now dropped out of the bidding for I check them off I raise the bid I ra the bid to $517 if the minimum is five my competition's bidding five I'm biding 517 I change my position preference to high sometimes you might want that to be low for cost savings I go back to the main screen and there they are 517 is my bid on those keywords and it shows my position preference and I'm live that active if I you float your cursor over there a little popup window tells you that your ad is appear hearing right now uh when people search for that keyword when we look at the campaigns I'm going to talk just for a second on the difference between keyword and site targeted when you create an ad you can create a text ad an image ad a local business ad a mobile text ad you can push it out to people's cell phones they it'll show up when they do cell phone searches you can also do video ads I've done the video ads I haven't figured out how to make them work very well right now the text words outperform the video ads but I'm sure that that'll change eventually these are some examples down here some little some ads that we build and using Google to push the ads to specific targeted websites that we wanted our ad to play on you can build your ads in Flash you can build them in uh animated gifts videos uh the business ads these do very well you get a lot of activity on your business listings plus it's it's a map and it shows your dealership you can customize all the stuff in your business listing when you go to make changes Google sends you a a postcard to by mail a postcard it has a PIN number you got to then go into the website and activate your business listing with that PIN number the hardest part is getting people in the dealership to know that that postcard has to get to me I find them all over the place service department parts department everywhere uh cost per thousand bidding this to me in our Market the keyword bids have gotten so competitive I can now do display ads and get a lower cost for traffic than the keywords because all the other Chevy stores it's like a it's like a war zone so what I'm doing is going into other areas that they haven't figured out yet and while it's still cheap enough and I can bid on cost per thousand and I just I monitor which websites produce the traffic I raise the bids on the ones that produce I lower the bids on the ones that don't this shows um the initial setup of a targeted site campaign when you pick your websites one of the coolest tools I've ever seen Google lets you search using a variety criteria for websites to push your ads into in this particular case I pick vehicle shopping under Automotive using the browse categories and then I picked Automart and AutoTrader I picked them I'm going to click the zoom I picked them and then um we browse the categories pick the we websites we hit submit to add the selected sites it brings you back to the summary page and there's my autoart and autotrader.com now in the mix on what I'm bidding on to have my ads appear on their websites you can also just type in a topic whatever you can think of in this case I typed in what does it say Auto purchase advice and then it pulls up websites I pick reply.com and cars for sales.com I added those I add selected sites in this next category down I went back in there and put in URLs I put down you know Delux have you ever heard invoice dealers.com it's a Delux site I used to be able to get my ads there and they now blocking me every website can say block that particular Advertiser I'm now blocked from some of these sites in this case though here's what Google does they still want my money so they say I'm blocked from that site but here's some other way websites that do the same thing and they'll let you put your ad on them I love these guys they they I I said to the woman I Google switch to get rich she goes what you all heard that right switch the customer to a different car I go that's what you're doing here you you're doing the switch on me um here this is really kind of cool demographics one of these days I'll figure out how to make this pay off I'm still experimenting with it but you can pick out annual household income gender age and look and it'll find websites based on the demographics of the people visiting that site in this case I added business nation.com and I added Dodge for.com because they're high income in the right age add selected sites they also have advanced options when you click on that you can get into ethnicity children in the household so on and so forth for targeting your ads manyi ad agency online bidding strategies how do I know what my competitors are bidding you're going to find out because you're going to get shut out bidding wars are bad decide what a keyword apposition is truly Worth to your store don't sometimes you get caught up and you overbid because you get your ego gets involved don't do that this you have to understand what a what a a unique visitor is worth um why can't you see your ad here's the issues that it could be if you want to take a look at your ad without paying for the clicks go to google.com ad preview and you'll be able to see your ads in a simulator here's a report for last year this is from my main account we spent $221,000 we generated 9,437 uh colle visitors 86 million impressions $2.50 56 per th000 people and our click through our average cost per click was $185 average cost for conversion runs uh close to $40 yep well you have to look at it this way	Ralph Paglia	UC5wTfB3MM87owmd1UDLtjXA	2015-03-26	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	11,949	60,280
1FVjBtU-Yfg	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FVjBtU-Yfg	Omens Working in Real Life Part 6: Jupiter and Venus	hello everyone all right mmm omens working in real life so this is going to be the video the final video on this series I'm going to talk about Jupiter and Venus omens so Jupiter and Venus sometimes are grouped together in some of the old books you know because they both kind of sometimes create similar effects and they bring good and in the similar way I've noticed that well their omens can sort of be similar they can overlap a little bit you know both Venus and Jupiter are gurus so omens dealing with your gurus you know can can be related to Venus or Jupiter they both rule biped form you know they're not the bird form or the creeping form or the quadrupeds form they rule the biped like human upright forms like even like great apes and in my opinion the water fowl the water birds such as herons and egrets are birds but they're actually biped because they spend most of their time just standing you know the majority of their time is not in flight and they're not just running around like birds constantly and I think that more has that mercury connotation Sun and mercury are related to birds if you weren't aware of that but yeah Jupiter and Venus are bipeds so when it comes to humans Jupiter and Venus can both play the role of like a wise human just stepping in and saying something for you that you need to listen to so sometimes an older elder figure will just tell you what's up in life and just take you aside and set you straight and tell you look you're not doing that right you need to do it like this and that can be just a simple Jupiter or Venus omen you know and you need to listen to it probably the in terms of the animals though okay obviously Jupiter is a man on a horse back so horses are related to Jupiter some schools of Joe Tisch say that this that Saturn is the planet of horse and I can see that as well because Saturn does rule quadruped ed but I think of Saturn as more ruling like the Beast burden so in the sense of like a horse as carrying burdens and as like carrying a carriage or something I can see Saturn and Jupiter so there could be some I think there's some overlap there and it kind of depends on the situation so horses could relate to Saturn in some cases but I would also relate to the Jupiter I think a wild free horses just Jupiter you know what I mean like horses in the occult world they really symbolize power like if you that's what the Native Americans say and we even still describe things with horse power you know stealing horses is stealing power that's the Native Americans saying and so yeah so I think that that power you know of Jupiter and Indra and you know the bow and and that one pointedness is mainly Jupiter but it can also relate to Saturn so if you see horses when you're contemplating something you know you're driving down the road and you you know there are some parts of South Carolina that our country and rule enough to where they're still people with horses and you might see when driving down the road and I have had that in you know when I've been contemplating something and thought seen that and going okay I know it's going to work out powerfully and then it did the peace dove would be another common Jupiter or Venus omen you know just the turtledoves the peace dove a universal symbol of benevolence and like I was saying a moment ago egrets herons cranes and water Birds now the white ones the pure white ones I would relate more to Venus you know Venus is white Shukra it's it's one of her names and then the Heron which is blue and and modeled and sort of like dirtier and earth looking is uh is more Jupiter in my opinion mm-hmm so this morning I saw the as I was doing my emails and I had this one person I was like huh I have a good feeling about this reading you know as I was writing them back and I looked over and I saw the great blue heron was flying in and was like landing on this bush you know this tall kind of like bushy tree at the edge of my backyard and I had a really good feeling that yeah that confirms that this is gonna be a good reading that we're gonna do and this happens to me constantly the nature there's a great blue heron in most lakes like if you live in the United States most natural big lakes will have one heron and so following and observing as you can see as you know you if you watch mentioned I have a lake in my backyard and I March I'm surrounded by water my fourth house Lord is in Pisces and have a lot of water stuff in my chart and the the Heron is like this wonderful just natural you know reading tool for me like when I wake up and I have to do readings almost every day so when I wake up I go outside and I'd you know stretch or I you know check out the environment and meditate a bit and hmm you know if I see the hair and perched up in an auspicious place I just know that I'm gonna do a great reading that day and I do it happens it just does so it's pretty cool and what's cool about like these birds is that you don't have maybe a great blue heron where you live but you probably have a very similar waterfowl and it's probably even more beautiful you know like I know some of the cranes and and herons and in Asia India are really amazing and beautiful Birds so you see that that's an that's like a that's grace you know that's God's grace gracing you at that moment the peacock is more Venus but this is the same idea you know the sacred peacock you know some people even speculate that the Phoenix was actually related to the peacock may have been the peacock what was I gonna say oh yeah great blue herons are definitely Jupiter because they symbolize meditation and contemplation that's what the Native Americans say that they are the omen of I've also had Native Americans say that they are also like the hawk in that they symbolize messages but I think it's the same idea of contemplating one pointedness and then there's the fish you name means like just getting it it means like getting the point getting the singular point you needed to get out of this then moving on you don't mean and so it could also relate to like you like to be shocked at nakshatra the next shot Rio being 1.0 and then we have the turkey in North America we have the turkey which is just a classic Jupiter element so if you're thinking on some Jupiter related things and you see a turkey that's probably a good thing you should do here's one example I can give two examples one time I was contemplating giving away something very big you know what I mean and I saw turkeys as I was driving right then in there and it was on a main the main folly road which is a huge road so it was kind of odd to see turkeys at that time and that was obviously a symbol because the Native Americans will tell you that the turkey symbolizes a giveaway it symbolizes giving and fairness and just giving giving what you can of course Thanksgiving we ate the turkey with the Native Americans as well there's a deeper meaning behind that and that's because the turkey is this animal that got too fat to fly basically like it symbolizes you know abundant like an abundance that you're just gonna give away you know that just that animals are meant to get to now this brings me to an interesting point about the Jupiter animal I think a little more than the Venus animal in all your ancient cultures you had the main animal if they were not a vegetarian culture if they were a meat-eating culture the main animal which sustained them and fed them was deified and it was thanked and it was just praised for the abundance because that animal literally became the flesh of their tribe and everyone so Native Americans had the buffalo so the buffalo would be a Jupiter omen even though it's a Quadra pet if you ask me because the buffalo deep down symbolizes like God God giving you your sustenance and keeping you alive you don't mean and without this you cannot live you only mean and that that's like a deeper I think omen of these Jupiter animal so now you can understand also a reason why Pisces the sign of Jupiter's the fishes because the fish was this animal of ancient times which you know gently gave itself to you like it you know fighting a deer a lion or these things could kill you you only mean to eat meat to eat a bull or a cow even could trample you and kill you but fishes with fit you know this was just as harmless active in all the types of meat eating fish is always the most spiritual the most religious act you know Jesus I'll make you fishers of men you know he went to the dock he went and looked for fishermen who were poor and relied on nothing but the fish that God was giving them to survive there's this sort of there's this quality that that fish has that relates to that fish don't have a nervous system so it really is more humane and ethical to eat fish if you're gonna eat any meat because you're not when you eat an animal people understand this that Yogi's don't necessarily say not to eat meat for health reasons they're saying because of the impressions of the animal when you eat and when you slaughter a cow it releases all its fear and adrenaline because it knows it's being slaughtered right that and it and that creates that impregnates the entire meat with toxins just like how when you have your adrenaline going you're kind of paralyzed and you can't move even it and you breathe differently that's literally because the toxins are in your system now and when you eat a cow that's been slaughtered that way and not had kosher prayers or halal prayers done or anything your your eating its fear you're literally eating its fear and animalistic qualities and those qualities are going deep down into your tissues and those are you know impregnating your mind and as one quote from the upon shot says the subtle energy of your food becomes your mind so that's the real reason you don't eat meat not because it's like mean to the cow actually the cow benefits spiritually from being able to give its flesh to you so the cow moves up in the astral planes you move down by eating it though so that's just I don't care what you guys eat that's just that you need to know this to fully understand what this means and so so ancient cultures would have like the Buffalo or the deer you know enamine or this or this animal that provided every provided not just their food but their clothing their you know there's their there everything you know they used every part of it to hide all of it the ancient Philistine culture worshipped a Jupiter related deity and that that was a culture that worshipped fish and deified fish and it was a fishing culture and they lived off of fish so fish can be a symbol of Jupiter and it can be a symbol of this free giving like just giving you don't mean or just not nitpicking not being myopic and just being open like a fish is to give itself to be eaten to whatever the other person needs and again it's kind of neat because Venus is exalted in that sign and it's a very altruistic sort of thing I'm talking about here Oh another time back to the turkey and other time I was visiting my yoga teacher in the mountains and I stumbled upon and I drove right past two turkeys and and me and him and he taught me some deeper meditation stuff that time I had a really great time like that's another example of the turkey as an omen of Jupiter something good happening related to your guru maybe but I think more universal way to understand it would be this whole idea of like the turkey as what sustains the culture and the tribe in a society and it freely gives that and so that is deified as like the compassionate aspect of God that is sustaining us because without that we wouldn't be alive so I think that it can depend on the time and place that you're living in in this circumstance so certain different things could be an omen you know like to the Inuits in asked in Alaska they it might be the whale that is this Jupiter you know I mean who the ones who hunt and live off mainly whale and seafood and that fat salmon I think some other tribes the salmon was the same idea and that again is a fish so we can see that coming through a few other things that I would relate it to is a hummingbirds you know hummingbirds are just symbolized joy to Native Americans and they say like never use profanity around a hummingbird or anything like that they can symbolize this childlike joy that Jupiter represents oh and of course elephants I don't have elephants where I live right you know there's no elephants in America but you know Gaga's elephants you know that's that's definitely gonna be a Jupiter related omen if you live you know near them or around them [Music] yeah the owl would also could potentially be a Jupiter omen but it's also related to k2 if you ask me like particularly but I wasn't really gonna touch on k2 or Rahu omens that much maybe I should maybe I should do a one on that but uh the owl can relate to Jupiter or k2 and like seeing in the night you know seeing through the the deception of a worldly illusion yeah so that's pretty much it now when it comes to Venus obviously the cow and the bull would be you know these classic venus omens the peacock like I was saying is much more of a Venus omen really really bright and colorful creatures that are just pleasant to be around and are just like not violent are definitely going to be a Venus related thing we have this bird here in America called the painted bunting that's just like this tremendously multicolored bird that just like it's like it's like God took drugs and just decided to go crazy on an animal if you want Google it's ridiculous makes no sense there's no evolutionary reason for why it is that way but it's beautiful and it's rare and if you and I've only seen that a few times than it's been in really Vinu seen times in my life when I was like like one time recently I was coming back from an amazing trip with my girlfriend and Tom and I just pulled into the driveway and one just flew by and it was just like what like that is so strange you know and then of course with with Venus there's flowers you know flowers are such a strong Venus omen that if you were contemplating something and you're driving down the interstate and you take a corner a turn from some gross you know urban environment and then you hit this patch of beautiful wildflowers that right and what your thinking was about making an important decision it's probably an important fulfilling Venus decision that's sort of how that works does that make sense some other another cool example of this is the pink Spoonbill now I is my experience being in a tidal marsh area you might be able to give a different experience in your life and what is Venice seeing animals to you but make sure you stick to the text and don't embellish okay so here's an example the pink Spoonbill I'll try to throw up an image of this for you pink Spoonbill is gorgeous it's a pink bright pink biped creature with this funny little bill that's like rounder and not as sharp and masculine and menacing or threatening and it's so beautiful and I finally got to see the first one on a day when I was on a walk with my girlfriend at my house and we were just having a great time you don't I mean and just feeling like really just enjoying love and and life and just oh no wait actually I forget we were going to surf and it was the last day I was gonna go to surf of the whole year and surfing is a watery Venus recreational activity and so we were dry that's right we were driving by and we just saw it there it was like it was with a bunch of other ibis and other more common birds around and I was like what is that doing there oh my god was the first time I've ever seen one and it just so happened to be with my girlfriend and you know I've been I've been living here for like four years you know and never seen one and there they don't usually come up this high north they usually stay more in Florida so that was a really cool you know really cool Venus omen the moon was full in Rohini nakshatra then and when I went and surf oh and I just knew right then like I'm gonna have an amazing time surfing and I did and it was just it was a really great time that was like the end of the year for me because it's too cold to surf now now the river otter I've never gotten to see a river otter but that would be a wonderful Venus omen because they're just these playful little creatures then they slide down you know they create their own water slides to escape predators more quickly oh my god the most adorable thing I've ever heard right I mean your heart if your hearts not melting like do you not have a soul come on like that's the most adorable thing ever they're just these google it watch youtube videos about it but they're so playful they play in water most of the time which is you know the the element of Venus and when if you happen to see you in the wild there's a good chance you'll see them slide because to escape from predators they just go down these little water slides that they've created back down to a river where there can be safe so pretty adorable creatures that's definitely a Venus on Venus omen if I ever see one of those if you have please share your stories or about any of these things oh and then if of course birds of paradise you know but I don't think most of us we're going to get to see those but that would be that's a prime example of Venus like these isolated birds on an island with no threats and predators so they've had nothing to do but just develop their crazy ways of attracting mates the only mean and just this hole of a new seen world watch planet earth or any of the documentaries on birds of paradise I really would suggest doing that it's a great fun thing if you like nature you know also the snowy egret Venus omen there if you ever heard of that and really again any animal that makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside Venus could be rabbit but I think rabbit officer relates to moon and Saturn it can be a little bit greater there I've touched on that earlier and then of course ladybugs you know ladybugs are an element of marriage and I think sometimes they're called love bugs but there there was one time when I was up on the Blue Ridge Parkway with my girlfriend who and there were just we were covered with ladybugs like all these ladybugs just showed up and were just covering us so we took photos of each other which is ladybugs all over each other so that was when we were first started dating and it seemed like a good sign right and it ended up being a good thing good relationship even to where if it ended tomorrow I would still say that was one of the best you know relationships I've ever had so yeah I think that's all the Jupiter and Venus omens I was able to share for now I hope you guys really enjoy this video and I hope it is fun and you know to share me your feedbacks because this is much more the speculative subjective side of astrology it's not like we're gonna do peer-reviewed studies on this this is more for just the intuitive right brain side thanks you guys	Eye Of The Veda	UCATtCEi2bzq0AdcX-hmgePA	2019-01-10	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

yLimdJGT0ps	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLimdJGT0ps	Medal of Honor Ceremony: Staff Sgt. David G. Bellavia	(triumphant music) - [Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States, accompanied by Medal of Honor recipient, Staff Sergeant David G. Bellavia, United States Army. ("Hail to the Chief") - Ladies and gentlemen, please join me as we mark this ceremony in a word of prayer. The Lord is my light and my salvation, and whom shall I fear. The Lord is the stronghold of my life, and of whom shall I be afraid. Righteous, just and loving God. Today we gather to honor the spirit of a warrior, who put others' safety above his own, and ran toward danger, meeting it face to face. We give thanks for Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, an example of heroism, whose spirit shown bright in the darkest hours of battle. His character, commitment and courage were revealed in a moment, but they were forged over a lifetime by his faith, his family, his friends, and a disciplined life of selfless devotion to duty. God bless David, his family, and his many comrades in arms this very day. Let his life, legacy and indeed this very medal that is placed around his neck be an inspiration for all to face our fears, and place others over self. I pray these things in Your mighty and most holy and gracious name, amen. - Thank you very much, please. Thank you, Chaplain, very much. It's very beautiful. Today, it's my privilege to award the highest military honor to an American soldier who demonstrated exceptional courage to protect his men and defend our nation. Will you please join me in welcoming Staff Sergeant David Bellavia? David, thank you. (audience cheers) David is the first living recipient to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor for his bravery in the Iraq War. (audience applauds) We are honored to have with us distinguished leaders of our military. I want to recognize Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense David Norquist. David, thank you very much, and congratulations. Acting Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy. Come here, Ryan, let me just say hello to you. Congratulations. (audience laughs) Just happened yesterday, so I have to congratulate. Congratulations. Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Paul Selva, thank you, Paul. Army Chief of Staff General Mark Milley, hi, Mark. And Sergeant Major of the Army Daniel Dailey. Thank you, Daniel, very much. Thanks as well to members of Congress who join us: Representative Liz Cheney, thanks, Liz. Chris Collins, thanks, Chris. Dan Crenshaw, Tom Reed, thank you. Thank you, Tom, I see you over there, Tom. Thank you very much. Joining David for this special ceremony are his wife Deanna and three children, Evan, Ayden, and Vivienne, along with his mother Marilyn, and his brothers Daniel and Rand. I want to thank you all for being here. A very special day for you and for all of us. For the nation, actually, thank you, thank you. (audience applauds) David's father William passed away in 2017. And though he's no longer with us, we know that today he must be one of those proud dads. He's looking down upon us from Heaven, and he's very proud of his son and his son's family. I have to say that, thank you, David. Finally, we are gratified to be joined by eight previous Medal of Honor recipients. And, I have to tell you, I've got to know just about all of them. You are forever with us. You inspire us. You are truly brave, great people. Thank you very much for being here. (audience applauds) Brave people, thank you. David grew up in Western New York. He was the youngest of four children. As a boy, he would listen to stories from his grandfather, a World War II veteran, and hero in his own right, who earned a Bronze Star in the Normandy campaign. I just came back from Normandy, that was something. As David remembers, his grandfather's stories were always vivid with a source of pride. And they were delivered very beautifully. There was a nobility and purpose in the infantry. And David saw that a very young age. "I wanted to be what my grandfather was," David would often say. "I wanted to be part of this noble adventure." Is that right? That's a pretty good quote, would you say? Better say "yes," otherwise I have a problem. (audience laughs) In 1999, David followed the example of his grandfather, and joined the United States Army Infantry. Several months after the September 11th attack on our nation, David deployed, saying goodbye to his wife and his son, Evan. He served in Germany, Kosovo, and then in Iraq. In November of 2004, after nearly a year of intense enemy combat in Iraq, David led his squad into battle to liberate the city of Fallujah and anti-Iraqi forces. That was a tough place. This operation was the bloodiest battle of the Iraq War. For three days straight, David and his men kicked down doors, searched houses, and destroyed enemy weapons, never knowing where they would find a terrorist lurking next. And there were plenty of them. The third day of battle was November 10th, David's 29th birthday. That night, his squad was tasked with clearing 12 houses occupied by insurgents. A very dangerous operation. They entered house after house, and secured nine of the buildings. Then came the 10th. That was a tough one. It was a three-story building surrounded by a nine-foot wall. As they entered the house and moved into the living room, two men were behind concrete barricades. They opened fire on David and everybody. In the dark of night, shards of glass, brick, and plaster flew into the air, wounding multiple soldiers. The rounds of fire ripped holes into the wall separating the Americans from the terrorists. The wall was ripped to shreds. David knew they had to get out. David thought that they had had it. He leapt into the torrent of bullets, and fired back at the enemy without even thinking. The insurgents, he just took over, David took over. He provided suppressive fire while his men evacuated, rescuing his entire squad at the risk of his own life. Only when his men were all out did David exit the building. But the fighting was far from over. Militants on the roof fired down at them with round after deadly round. A Bradley Fighting Vehicle came to the scene to suppress the enemy and drove them further into the building. Knowing that he would face almost certain death, David decided to go back inside the house and make sure that not a single terrorist escaped alive, or escaped in any way. He quickly encountered an insurgent who was about to fire a rocket-propelled grenade at his squad. David once again jumped into danger and killed him before he had a chance to launch that grenade. Next, two more insurgents came out of hiding and fired at David. He returned fire, killing them both. Then, a third assailant burst out of a wardrobe, wearing a wardrobe, and opened fire. David shot and wounded the man, but he escaped up the stairs. Racing after him, David engaged in hand-to-hand combat and killed him too. Bleeding and badly wounded, David had single-handedly defeated the forces who had attacked his unit, and would have killed them all, had it not been for the bravery of David. Just then, yet another combatant jumped down from the third-story roof and attacked. David shot him, and the assailant fell off the balcony. Alone, in the dark, David killed four insurgents and seriously wounded the fifth, saving his soldiers and facing down the enemies of civilization. Here with us today are 32 American service members who fought with David in Iraq, including 12 who were with David on that very, very horrible and dangerous November night. Please stand, please. (audience applauds) Did he do a good job? If not, you know, it's not too late. (audience laughs) Thank you very much for being here. We appreciate it very much. Also with us are five families of David's brothers-in-arms who made the supreme sacrifice. To the Gold Star families of Sean Sims, Steven Faulkenberg, Scott Lawson, JC Matteson, and Michael Carlson: Our entire nation expresses our love, loyalty, and everlasting gratitude. Please, stand, please. (audience applauds) Thank you very much for being here. Appreciate it, thank you. David often tells young people, "Americans don't want to fight, "but if someone picks a fight with us, we will always win. "Because we don't fight for awards or recognition. "We fight for love of our country, our homeland, "our family, and our unit, "and that's stronger than anything the enemy has." So, thank you. And thank you to his family very much. Great family, David, thank you. David exemplifies the same warrior ethos that gave his grandfather and all the heroes of Normandy the strength to defeat evil exactly 75 years ago. I hear that his grandfather Joseph is now 99 years old and that today he's watching this ceremony at his home in Jamestown, New York. A lot of people are watching, David. America is blessed with the heroes and great people like Staff Sergeant Bellavia whose intrepid spirit and unwavering resolve defeats our enemies, protects our freedoms, and defends our great American flag. David, today we honor your extraordinary courage, we salute your selfless service, and we thank you for carrying on the legacy of American valor that has always made our blessed nation the strongest and mightiest anywhere in the world. And we're doing better today than we've ever done. Our country is stronger now, and we're doing better economically than ever before. We're setting records, and you fought for something that's really good, and we appreciate it, David. We really appreciate it, thank you. And now I'm very pleased to ask the military aide to come forward while I present the Congressional Medal of Honor to Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, please. (audience laughs) - [Aide] The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, March 3rd, 1863, has awarded in the name of Congress the Medal of Honor to Staff Sergeant David G. Bellavia, United States Army, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Staff Sergeant David G. Bellavia distinguished himself by acts of gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty on November 10, 2004, while serving as squad leader in support of Operation Phantom Fury in Fallujah, Iraq. While clearing a house, a squad from Staff Sergeant Bellavia's platoon became trapped within a room by intense enemy fire coming from a fortified position under the stairs leading to the second floor. Recognizing the immediate severity of the situation, and with disregard for his own safety, Staff Sergeant Bellavia retrieved an automatic weapon and entered the doorway of the house to engage the insurgents. With enemy rounds impacting around him, Staff Sergeant Bellavia fired at the enemy position at a cyclic rate, providing covering fire that allowed the squad to break contact and exit the house. A Bradley Fighting Vehicle was brought forward to suppress the enemy; however, due to high walls surrounding the house, it could not fire directly at the enemy position. Staff Sergeant Bellavia then re-entered the house and again came under intense enemy fire. He observed an enemy insurgent preparing to launch a rocket-propelled grenade at his platoon. Recognizing the grave danger the grenade posed to his fellow soldiers, Staff Sergeant Bellavia assaulted the enemy position, killing one insurgent and wounding another who ran to a different part of the house. Staff Sergeant Bellavia, realizing he had an un-cleared, darkened room to his back, moved to clear it. As he entered, an insurgent came down the stairs firing at him. Simultaneously, the previously wounded insurgent reemerged and engaged Staff Sergeant Bellavia. Staff Sergeant Bellavia, entering further into the darkened room, returned fire and eliminated both insurgents. Staff Sergeant Bellavia then received enemy fire from another insurgent emerging from a closet in the darkened room. Exchanging gunfire, Staff Sergeant Bellavia pursued the enemy up the stairs and eliminated him. Now on the second floor, Staff Sergeant Bellavia moved to a door that opened onto the roof. At this point, a fifth insurgent leapt from the third floor roof onto the second floor roof. Staff Sergeant Bellavia engaged the insurgent through a window, wounding him in the back and legs, and caused him to fall off the roof. Acting on instinct to save the members of his platoon from an imminent threat, Staff Sergeant Bellavia ultimately cleared an entire enemy-filled house. (camera shutters clicking) (audience cheers) - Come on over here, come on up here. (speakers drowned out by cameras clicking) (crowd murmuring) - Chaplain? - Yes. (audience applauds) - Thank you. - Thank you, Mr. President. - Hi, thank you. - Say a few words. - Sure. Please join me. Most Holy God, as we go from this place, let this ceremony be a reminder of your faithfulness and a challenge to us all, to live a life of courage and honor, placing the needs of others first. Thank you for the life of Staff Sergeant David Bellavia, may his life be an inspiration to each of us. Lord, as we walk, be our light and our guide. Bless our nation and keep the lamp of liberty burning bright. In your most gracious and Holy Name, I pray, amen. - [Crowd] Amen. - Thank you Chaplain. - [Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen, please remain in your seats until the president has departed the East Room.

that all right and i can bring that one down as well how cool is that or if i want to go in the other opposite direction there you go that comes up and i can bring that one down as well now these engines do a tremendous a lot of sound effects here and we're going to showcase a whole bunch of them and i'm going to just take this one off the track right now because i want to take a look at this new haven and i'm going to play some of the sounds without the ancient idols uh sounds happening because i want you to be able to hear it and especially if you're a fan of some old school advertisement i think you're really going to enjoy what they have in showcase here check this out try it eight more times maybe it'll work all right here we go [Music] when you take a trip take the train rise in new haven railroad why let stormy weather tie you down or traffic tangles bog you down don't gamble when you've got to get there be sure to get there take the new haven and forget the problems of weather and traffic clear whether or follow the trains always go straight to your destination right into the heart of the city with center to senate convenience go relaxed arrive relax the sure way next trip to new york go new haven you can depend on it when you take a trip take the train ride the new haven railroad so that's really cool the fact that you got an engine with an old-school advertisement on there and believe it or not there are other ones on there as well when you take a trip take the train ride the new haven railroad yes go new haven car when you're going to new york it's the relaxed way to get there big soft opposite chairs let you recline or swivel in comfort fairweather or follow it's the scenic way to travel first class it's dependable comfortable and it costs only 13.95 one way or 25 59 round trip all this from center to senate convenience too pamper yourself go the dependable parlor car way go new haven when you take a trip take the train ride the new haven the railroad i wonder if those prices are still accurate so there's a whole bunch of them on here i'm not going to board to listen to every single one of them i just think that is a really neat feature i love things on trains that are just different and that is obviously a different little thing there i've never heard of another engine give me an advertisement the real thing back in the day so this is fantastic so let's actually now start up here so let's get the sounds happening and again remember it is electric so there's not going to be much of an idle sequence here i love the electric sound here all right let's take a listen to the horn or whistle that is cool this is awesome all born hey let's get some tank cars over here why not change direction change pantographs i don't want the time cars off though [Applause] now what i gotta do is i'm gonna stop it right here and i'm gonna do this direction controller so it's going in one direction here what i'm going to do [Applause] i love the great sounds i got to change direction so you guys see the pantograph shift and then i'll probably go in the other way how cool is that this might be one of my favorite inches we've worked out in a long time that is just such a neat sound dimension all right so this retails believe it or not so they are working up so this engine sells for five i'm sorry 459.95 but we're selling the cure at yankee dabbler for 399.99 that's a great deal to get on this engine here because you have so many features are happening here you have those old-school advertisements you have a lot of other uh kind of wacky sound effects that you have in there you have the panda grass it just sounds cool it looks cool it's a different locomotive than probably what you have in your layout and i don't have a ton of them left i have two of the new havens i only have one of the pen central so if you're interested in one of these engines go on our website yankeedoubler.com get this rolling on your layout today i know you're going to love it because i kind of want one now all right so we're going back downscaling i got too dizzy the first time anyway we're gonna take a look at one of my favorite railroads and of course going back to the redding and northern we took a look at the 425 pacific engine that they have there in the current paint scheme but broadway limited actually just released it in the former paints game this was a paint scheme around 2007 to 2014 and we have that here on the track street to take a look at here this is the running northern 425 locomotive in the old paint scheme here now it's a little bit lighter blue and it has yellow writing and supposed as the silver that currently dawns here but it is a great looking locomotive here i love the 425 i've seen this engine probably more of the writing in norton than any other engine that they have there it sounds great it looks great and if you're an end scaler and if you want to depict some of those running and ordering excursions especially back in the early late 2000s early 2010s this is the engine that you need so let's get her started up here shall we all right so let's take a listen to the whistle now it's always hard to mash the whistle perfectly because reading and art likes to play games a lot so that didn't just probably have more whistles and broadway a little bit has files for it but that's pretty good let's take a listen to the ball [Music] like the bar oh boy [Applause] it's backwards [Applause] that sounds great let's roll it around shall we all aboard the gym fall [Laughter] that's such a cool sounding locomotive here now london thinks about the 425 as i said it's had a couple of different variations so if you're a really big fan of the reading in northern you might want to get the old one and the new one so you can have both of your bases covered just make sure you get the entire train now broadway limited is selling this locomotive for 369.95 but we're selling here yankee dabbler for 295.96 that's an awesome deal to get on a locomotive especially one of the high quality standards such as broadway limited so i know you're really going to enjoy this especially just like me if you're reading an ordering fan and the unfortunate part is that real 25 is going to be going down for it's 1472 rather soon so you're not going to see it on the rails so you may as well get the model version so you can keep fill that down time on your model railroad so come in and get it all aboard [Applause] all right so i know probably some of you are looking for a commuter train to roll on your rails here so here at hlan and once again thanks to rapido i had this f59 ph that hopefully will fit the bill here check out this train here this is an awesome looking train it's a great looking set here this is the trinity railway express and striking train it is definitely take a look at this set here i have there of course i have the diesel locomotive which is the f59ph and i had these bi-level commuter cars here and they are all lit with interiors as you can see i have the cab car here at the end here if i look inside the windows there you're going to see the various different seats that i have here of locate um rearranged in the correct orders that you would see on a real commuter train here this is a really cool looking train set here and definitely one that probably doesn't look like anything that you have here now the neat thing about this is if i take a look at the roofs as well you can see the detailing there including the number of different cars that we have here uh this is awesome i think rapido's hit the home run with this train here and if you're looking for a commuter chairing to run on your rails as i said look no further than this trinity railway express now the diesel here retails for 339.95 but we're selling here a yankee doubler for 305.95 and then the cars which come in a three pack sell for three 19.95 but we're selling here for 299.99 this is just a great looking set here and as i said with the ep5s rapido chalks these full of so many different goodies and little subtle easter eggs here that we are going to be taking a look at here so let's take a look at this engine again i don't have the sound on here because i'm going to play some of the sound effects that go on here and for our fans of the blues brothers i think you're going to like one of these sounds in particular is all right how about one of these sounds to chicago we got a full tank of gas half a pack of cigarettes it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses well i love that they threw the blues brothers in for some reason this one's an advertisement for i believe with that [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so that is so cool there's so many new little features that they throw into this set here and again i think rapido does a fun thing just put those little easter eggs here especially i have a big fan of the blues riders movie so they have that happening on their railroad i think that's pretty cool all right so now let's check out the actual train sounds i know our train people are probably blowing up right now because we're not playing drain sounds here you go all right let's take a listen to what the horn sounds like that sounds pretty accurate to what this engine is all aboard okay [Applause] that's just a great looking engine it's a great looking set here and i know you're gonna love that especially if you're looking for a commuter train on your layout so again the detail diesel retails for 339.95 we're selling that for 305.95 and for the three pack of cars that sell them for 319 we're selling that for 299.99 so a great deal to get on this set so coming to yankee dabbler and get that pulling

BKrQ6Yo1x_0	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKrQ6Yo1x_0	The mental health crisis is real. But should we really blame social media?	all right we're recording all right we're going to go and get started here and we'll however we have a few people additionally filter in here but anyway uh welcome everybody to the latest uh monthly virtual edition of the monthly eff austin meetup my name is kevin welch i'm the current president of the board at eff austin we also have one of our board members david hinsley here with us um and yeah for those of you who are first timers and like who is eff awesome as you might gather from the name we have something to do in austin texas um we are a long-standing austin based digital civil liberties organization um we work closely with electronic frontier foundation based in san francisco if you've never heard of them you can sort of think of them as the aclu for the internet they fight to preserve your rights especially your first and fourth amendment rights in emerging technological and digital spaces they fight for things like net neutrality and encryption protecting section 230 of the cba and just a lot of other good stuff to try to make uh you know online life a better place where you can more freely express yourself and have your rights protected so they're very cool people you should um you know you should uh donate to them you're so inclined or us if you're so inclined but they do a lot of really good work um we they've been around about 30 years as have we we are the oldest member of what is called the efa or the electronic frontier alliance which is a group of affiliate uh distributed activist orgs all around the united states who share similar ideological beliefs with eff um as i said we are the uh the oldest standing one by a decent margin um because our founding was kind of tied up in the eff themselves founding but um but yeah there's over about a hundred efa groups scattered around the united states at this point um probably one near you so if you're not in austin and dialing in um look around there's probably one near you that uh you can get involved in if these are issues that matter to you or you can even start one yourself um for instance in the chat here tonight we have a former eff austin member who now lives up in buffalo named george hampton who is working on trying to get an efa chapter going in buffalo and in fact if anybody from buffalo is here tonight he says that you are welcome to email him at info be secure secureonline.org if you are wanting to collaborate with them further on this i will share that email to everyone in the chat here oh and george has permission so he shared it very good okay so that little preamble out of the way um so anyway yeah and as far as what we do um we're primarily an education organization the main thing we have going on on a routine continuing basis is that we um we have monthly meetups they traditionally have been in person at capital factory in downtown austin um obviously cove had changed a lot of that and they have been virtual since then they're traditionally on the second tuesday of every month at um starting in the new year we are going to start experimenting with transitioning back to in-person meetups as a local health and safety conditions warrant or not but we are going to try to have our january meetup be in person but we're also going to be exploring um ways that we can still allow people who attend remotely either because they don't like to go downtown the capitol factory and it's more convenient to attend from home or they're not from austin or sometimes even our speakers aren't from austin we're going to explore ways to continue to use our zoom room to try to provide a merged experience as well as for those who um the the their risk profile of attending an in-person event it does not make sense we want to remain accessible so um look for more of that in the coming year in fact i believe the gentleman who's going to be giving our january talk michael furstenfeld is here if he's at all interested in giving a like 30 second spiel of what he's going to be talking about it's fine if uh not um micah do you want to tell what you're going to talk about or should i or he may not be there right now ah okay well i know mike does a lot of very cool stuff and he's going to probably be talking about some of his cool uh digital art projects he does um mike says he's not hooked up to the mic at the moment i'll let him he usually he'll probably segue into our after party at the end of this so i'll let him give a little spiel about what he's going to talk about next month at that time um but yeah if you or somebody you know would be interested in speaking to our meetups we have several people who are going to be talking in the coming year but we're always looking for speakers if they're doing interesting things in in law technology and the ways these intersect they're just cool new ways to use technology and creating new societies new art whatever we're always looking to profile that stuff um yeah and um we also do other things we've been known to do uh pretty cool cyberpunk parties though those have been on hiatus as well because of covid we also do a little bit of legislative advocacy work at the city and state level um we just recently helped assist a ut austin professor with a focus group on attitudes toward uh public network cameras and privacy attitudes toward those we also were involved in a coalition here in austin to that successfully defeated the recent prop a that would have massively increased police funding we uh came at it from a digital civil rights perspective and a lot of the surveillance issues around modern policing so we do a lot of stuff um and we hope to hopefully in the new year as uh things start getting more normal we hope to start doing more things so i've rambled on here for quite a little bit so i'm going to quickly ask if there are any uh further announcements anybody from the community would like to make uh shameless self-promotion is totally allowed some of you may not be able to unmute yourself but you're welcome to uh send a chat at me if you would like me to share anything with the community as long as it's relevant to digital civil liberties it can literally be your own little thing i don't care this was always easier to do when we were meeting in person but i do try to replicate it here but if nobody does have anything they'd like to share i'm going to go ahead and introduce our speaker and i will let her take it away for what you're all actually here for all right um so to introduce our speaker our speaker this month is uh ann boyce um and has spoken at eff austin i think at least twice before so she's joined our rare club of three times speakers and is a data analyst and futurist with an interest in studying the first generation to experience their childhood in early adult years in the 21st century for the past two decades and has helped stakeholders in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations adapt to the new needs that are likely to emerge at the younger generation's next life stage and enjoys dissecting the data to look for surprising patterns and weave these insights into compelling stories and has a master's degree in strategic foresight from the university of houston and a graduate certificate in business analytics from penn state university and now to uh tee her up for what she's going to talk to us about as you might have gathered from the title we're going to be talking about there's been a lot of reporting in the news about the so-called uh mental health crisis that gen z is experiencing with the culprit often being named as social media in fact when uh the whole finster debacle with the facebook hearings happened with senator blumenthal for those of you don't know fensta stands for fake instagram which is just teens like instagram accounts for their parents but senator blumenthal thought it was a product facebook was selling but um but that actually that whole incident was what uh anne made a comment i thought was very intelligent it sort of sparked this whole when you give this talk where you know the whole narrative was that like you know that the reason gen z is having a mental health crisis is social media and i mean it's true there is a mental health crisis only 45 of gen z reports good mental health and researchers are scratching for answers the common choice of a scapegoat has been social media just like earlier technologies like the telegraph or cable television um and so we're increasingly hearing as disillusionment and negative sentiment builds up about how universities professors and we're hearing how universal professors and whistleblowers are offering social media as the villain of the moment or you know it used to be smartphones but social media has to place that but ann is going to argue a thesis that while the mental health crisis is absolutely real and maybe social media smartphones do have some part to play in it that maybe this prevailing narrative is not really what's going on with gnc so um i'm with that i'm going to let anne take it away well thank you so much thanks for introducing me and for introducing my talk because that's uh that was right in point but i'm going to talk about generation z and the mental health crisis my my biggest motivation for doing this is that you've heard this you know this comment quote that it's not what you don't know that it's going to harm you it's what you think you know that just ain't so so the danger here is that like you said their social media might have some impact here but if we if we are going to blame a huge issue like this where that literally might cause some of our kids to literally lose their lives should we just grasp for easy answers or should we does it does it needs a little bit more digging and that's so that's right that's my motivation for going here and so it is becoming a fairly pervasive uh narrative because if you look at uh if you do a generic search on generation z and mental health then you will get some amplifiers you know like more depressed which is called synonymous um in the uk awareness issues but then there's one there's one search query here which is like basically a suggestion you get because this is what other people are searching for and that is generation mental health social media uh generation z mental health social media so that kind of like indicates that there's a hypothesis here that there's some sort of connection between these two things and that's why i think it's extremely important that we we dig into this a little bit deeper so i want to start with um i first first i want to start with some disclaimers i think this is important i am not a professional in mental health i do not have letters after my name so please don't think that i'm here to give anybody mental health advice if if that is an issue don't don't base this you know your solution to your problem on my presentation use it as an a piece you know another data point but you should definitely talk to professionals about this um another thing i also want to say is that i do work in tech i want to be extremely clear that i am presenting myself here i'm not presenting any company that i'm currently working for or or have worked for in the past so what i'm pr you know if you have if you have beef within you know any of the things that i'm saying come to me you know so um anyway so these are this is entirely driven by my curiosity i'm not like benefiting or you know any in any way but i think that um i for me this problematic is rooted in generational like generational research and the curiosity i have around that and um i started researching generation z about like some 20 years ago i want to say like maybe yeah no less than that maybe i started 18 years ago in the last three years i haven't it's been more like a like a side thing for me um but i want to base this on what generational theory isn't what it's not so the study of generation is very much an academic orphan so this it's kind of like this um this this orphan this kid that gets invited to play dates and they're very popular and it's guests in the house and because they're very entertaining and it's like they join audience but nobody wants to claim parental responsibility for it and what happens then is that you don't have epistemological guidelines what happens then is that you get this vacuum that attracts all sorts of people who want to have some sort of opinion on generations because you don't have those those those boundaries and those sort of like guidelines of what determines good research and what it's not right so so and nonetheless it's still very popular among both both you know the more or less you know economic academically grounded researchers um so it straddles the field of sociology of history of um psychology and and digital anthropology as of late so so so so there's you know that it's being accused very often of being a crackpot theory like generational there is a crack right there you hear that hear that quite a lot you hear that it's uh pseudoscience now that is actually not true because in order to be a pseudoscience it has to be um it can't be scientifically debunkable so to speak like it's it has you can't test it you can't test the theory and there's there you can absolutely test these theories it's very it's cohort studies it's basically the study of with if you group people into age group as when they were born and the in-group variation is smaller than the between group variations you look at you know people of a certain age group them together and you find less variation there than than you have between groups and you see that pattern consistently over time so that there seems to be something specific to that generation based on when they were born not not like at life stage or anything like that then you have indeed found a generational um difference now here's the thing is that first of all it's very difficult to get all that data so i'm actually going to sort of violate my own principles in a little bit because you just don't have enough data um but it there's some um uh i just might lose my train of thought but that there's also that you you you've you've you're going to be debunking more myths you're going to be debunking you're going to be more busy debunking headlines so you're going to be more busy taking down theories than actually building up you know theories because when you actually do the rigorous research you're not going to find a lot of of support for a lot of generational theories so why am i so big on on explaining that is because this this very fact that mental health that that is a very clear generational trait it's ever so more profound because of that because it's not in the same category as like you know oh um you know this is how gen zeros are in the workplace and this is kind of like these are their little i don't know that you you see them you see the clickbait all right so this is actually true this is based on very very rigorous science you can actually see it in the in in indexes you can see uh the different graphs that the cohort that has increased within mental health problems over time is the 16 to 19 year old and the 20 to 21 year old and 22 to 25 year olds you see that the people who experience their formative years in the 2010s they are the ones that have had the highest increase and this is particularly uh the case for adolescent girls so there there's i think this is like what's one constant is that uh that adolescent girls um tend to you know they for example they tend to attempt more suicide and voice succeed in more suicide now we actually see that young people young girls are actually you know succeeding in that as well so this is a problem it clearly is um and uh what we also say like like kevin mentioned that only 45 percent are of that generation is agreeing that they have um good mental uh health um and uh but they're also the most likely to actually seek help for it so so one common argument is that well it's just that you know the the stigma around uh mental health problems have disappeared so now people are more likely to admit that they have mental health issues and that is partly true but it's not the entire truth so you see both so you both see that there is an increase and there's also uh that the the stigma's falling away so now now let's get to the social media connection and the theory that is being made it mostly is based on a book written by professor jean twenge at um san diego state university and it was written back in god a few years ago uh maybe in like i think it was around 2017-18 that's when this awareness started to come out so this is like when we really started to talk about about this possible connection now i also wanted to bring up another professor uh another actually social psychologist uh jonathan heights who has also been doing a lot of research on sort of like what makes people different and he's a fascinating researcher but he kind of finds uh peculiarities that have to do with like in your political affiliation and also generations so um so his so so both of these two are first of all the reason that i want to pick them is because i'm i'm not gonna i'm not gonna try to spend uh an hour of your time to debunk um you know uh quack quack maker certainly you know like this these pseudoscientists i'm going to actually pick on the big guys and i really have a lot of respect for these two they're they're great researchers they really are um and twenge has done a lot of research on millennials as well and the reason that i like her research is because she's very consistent she's very scientific so she she has a lot of data behind her um and uh and and so but but i'm also going to pick on it so i'm also going to take it apart i'm just trying to tell you that i it's i don't have an issue with these people i don't have an issue with these academians it's the it's the conclusions that they make that i'm going to try to make arguments against um so um jonathan heights is kind of like um riffs a little bit on on her like yeah people kids are spending too much time on screens done on social media and and he's also talking about helicopter parenting that young people today are have um mental health issues because they're being sort of cuddled and overprotected and then they come to uh university campuses and um they're they're kind of bringing in this this cancel culture at the university council um campuses because they're not used to interacting with people who are different opinions and that that eventually also has a negative mental health effect the reason i bring up both of these two is that they're both now kind of doing this this research on generation z and social media and allegedly finding connections there i want you to notice one thing here that both of them both of their hypotheses both of the theories that are making are individualizing the problem so in both cases whether you want to play blame it on social media or screen time on the one hand or on parenting or on sort of like this this inability to to handle conflict and and um it's it's very it's sort of an individualized explanation that you they're not kind of looking for structural changes in the environment that that could might have an impact and that's okay there are psychologists i think it's very common to look for that that you look for the source of the problem in yourself um but i'm i'm i want you to just keep that because i'm about to make an argument later so just keep keep note of that um my biggest issue with uh with with twengi's research for all of the data that she has i do have some some some criticism is that almost the entire hypothesis or almost the entire entire theory is based on curve fitting it's basically based on this presumption that correlation somehow implies a cosec ecosality and if you remember your sub classes you might have heard this example of um ice cream and the drowning accidents where like when when ice cream sales increase so do drowning accidents and then if you wanted to see some causality there you might say that oh don't eat ice cream because you couldn't drown but obviously it's because both happen in the summer so that that's the problem another thing i think is kind of interesting is that um khan academy actually uses this idea that um social media causes a mental health problem he's actually using that as an example of this of this problem of correlation not necessarily um you know implying causality so so that's the biggest problem um but there's other things about it too is that when they when she's establishing a correlation in in some of these um in some of these associations so there's some of these positive associations that actually pretty weak so there are researchers who have been testing some of that um some of the correlation and found that you know the the social media use and depressive systems depressive symptoms is uh it has like a pearson's arc correlation of 0.06 in girls and 0.01 in voice which is it can be statistically significant but it's pretty likely negligible so um if that's the case then you know there is a huge difference like there's there's a lot of other causal factors here that that really really you know we really need to look into like rather there's been other studies too that have found um i can't i'm not going to spend a lot of time to debunk or like not debunk but go through every single studies and they're probably a lot of studies that that are are strong and show a strong correlation i just wanted to kind of point to this because this because this was kind of like the founding foundation of this theory so one of the ways that we could test it for example is um we we should be able to assume that if social media has such a negative effect or skewing time if that has such a negative effect on young people then we should probably be able to say that we're well in countries where they spend a lot of time on social media then they should have correspondingly larger problems with mental health and then if you actually so so here you can see that in philippines they spend more time on social media than than um then mexico which spends more time than china and then the usa is kind of like down there and then japan is the country that spends the least now this is this is not a generational this is not generational data but i'm just using this for for comparison now if we look at um the age standardized depressive disorders in percent of population and we look at that over time in those very same countries we don't see that trend we don't see that just because you know the philippines people in the philippines are using social media more they they're not highway having any you know um uh more negative trend uh on that on that dimension so i've tried to color code it here that if they're if countries with high social media use separate them in more sort of warmer use and then the low social media using more cooler colors on the bottom here so you should expect to see something so see that reflected in the data right you don't really do that what you see is that the united states has in general had very high problems with depressive disorders in general that's that seems to be like a trait with the united states so there obviously must be some other variables at play here and of course there are and like again you know you could say yeah but you you need you need to check for so many other variables because there's so many things that can impact whether people have a lot of mental health issues and that's that's precisely my point it's like it's too simple to just take two trends and put them together so there was a study by brook university where they monitored the same gen zeros over time so they had two groups like one that were younger like they were still teenagers and then they had some that were like early college kids and they monitored them over time over six years and what they found was that first of all there wasn't much correlation there at all and when they did find a correlation it was that depression depression came before social media use so there's an indication here that social media usage or uh you know a lot of good social media is more like a symptom of something else so like when when they present together it's because people are already depressed and they seek social media to um to kind of help them out and to feel better right so um yeah so if anything it's like it's reverse that if there's a caustility it goes in the opposite way so could we expect that the moral panic is is dying down there was another study very recently that found that screen time didn't have much of an effect either on um on young people um so so again you know you're starting to see people kind of take issues with this this very sort of black white thinking on social media and social media being like the big the big bad wolf and this um in this whole um problematique um i want to pick on that you mentioned um the debacle with with the whistleblowers with facebook a few months back and if you look at the hyperbolic uh headlines all you see is that instagram is toxic for girls that's that's almost all you will see if you search if you search for google now that's all you see like instagram is toxic girls but when you actually look at the statistics what you'll find is that there's only one of these bars that shows that um that that is really problematic for young girls where you have more young girls saying that it's a negative thing than than um than a positive thing so that you see the blue bar here and that is the body image so you see that there's there's more um now when you see almost all of these other uh bars here you'll see that there are more people and more young people both boys and girls who think that social media or instagram is is positive for them make made them feel better and even down here with uh when when you know which really refutes um the uh the allegation that it increases loneliness anxiety and sadness because there are more there are far more people both boys and girls who say that it makes them feel less anxious and sad this is also very consistent with um with the apa survey uh american association american psychological association uh has tried to study stressed in america a few years ago where they asked the number of questions and what they found was um that uh generations years there were more gen zeros who um who felt you know that social media was valuable for them that they felt a sense of support more than those who felt like they were judged so again i'm not saying that it's a that it's not problematic that you have a high minority of of kids that feel judged and feel like they're they're going to deal with body dysmorphia because of it but i'm also it's important to keep this uh to keep a balanced view on this and and understand that that there's a there's not an all or nothing thing i also think it's important to remember so i'm i'm from generation x and um i remember back in my days uh the the big bad wolf was uh was mtv and uh when it comes to this issue about it is morphe i remember very clearly that um this was the beginning the music videos where you we sat there and consumed the music videos and in every single music video it seemed like that they had hired some some uh supermodel to to to to to be you know and then you will see the same faces in the in the glossy magazine et cetera so it's not like it's not like this distorted represent representation of what a young girl is supposed to look like it's not it's not like this is new right i mean you can go back to the you know uh today you know when back when we were wearing corsets and women would swallow tapeworms and have their ribcage just cut off you know in order to fit into this little narrative for sets back in the 1700s so you can't really blame a technology for these aged or you know issues that that that women have dealt with for for a very long time and i think that's very simplistic to do that um there's another anecdote that i wanted to bring up and uh this has to do with this uh quote-unquote connection with between suicidality and social media so i remember i was holding a presentation about something similar a few years ago and after my presentation during the q a session there was a woman who stood up and she said that um she had also been worried because of after this book she also was very worried about um the social media use of her children and the screen time screen time use of her children so she um implemented a screen time rule at home where during it like after a certain time during the day all the kids everybody in the family were to drop their phones into a into a basket and not claim it until the next day just so you know you can wind down the day without without screens it seems like a very reasonable thing to do and i agree i don't think that there's anything wrong with that it's just that about one week or so into this new experiment what happened is that her daughter had been attempted contacted by someone that she knows it wasn't a very close friend but it was someone who felt like a need to talk to her daughter and when he wasn't able to reach her he had attempted to end his own life so it's it's quite ironic that that very technology that was supposedly increasing our risk of suicide in our children was now the communication device that could actually prevent that so so this this is kind of like a you know baby bathwater situation like we have to be really really careful when we look at this these things and really examine the data as well and you know one of the things that i liked about the facebook study and also the american psychology association study is that they actually talk to the kids it's not like just you know taking some data sets and looking at okay what's the rate of suicide what is the rate of hospital admission because of um you know major depression depressive episode it's not that they actually ask the kids themselves like you know what do you feel how do you feel like social media feels bigger and uh in order to address that i just wanted to take you on a little time travel because uh my major biggest problem when i first started out as a generational consultant on my own back in like i think it was around 2011 was that the kids were still a little bit too young to answer surveys so i i couldn't really get all of the psychographic data that i really wanted to have and then um someone with much smarter than me and with much more bandwidth than i have her name is uh noreena hertz and she's uh i forget which i think is either the lsc one of one of the universities in britain she had done a quite extensive survey on on generation z i'm like i think 2000 or something and um 2000 respondents and i what really struck me was that here was the first time that i really noticed a huge shift from millennials because before then all the folks had been on millennials and they're sort of like their persona and their persona was that millennials were very kind of happy-go-lucky they were very optimistic they had been receiving you know uh uh you know prices just to to you know trophies just to show up to the competitions etc without necessarily winning or anything so again very much that old riff that you hear from uh you know about helicopter parenting and and uh jonathan height what he's talking about and and here all of a sudden she found something completely different so she found that this generation generation z was a lot more sober in their perception of the world around them and the the problems of the world around them they didn't have they didn't share this optimism that that millennials had and i found it quite interesting um and so she called them generation k for katniss so this is this is all these headlines are taken from you know back like 2015 i think and where where she really asked him like why why are you why are you guys sad like what what are you guys upset about and then you know again it's it's very much like they can't rely on the grown-ups pretty much what we've heard for the past few years that you know when when young people are protesting the environment for example that you know that grown-ups aren't doing enough and so so they really associate themselves with this sort of hunger games um you know um topic or theme i i i was elected here too because i'm quoting myself as well because i was also interviewed around like this time i think this was maybe a few years before where i also mentioned to a a a journalist at bbc uh capital where i mentioned that yeah if you have school shooting uh shootings around you and this was very soon after the um the massacre at the youth camp in norway and since i'm from norway and i was actually very close to where this happened um it was very easy for me to kind of draw that connection and see that you know i i saw what kind of impact it had on my own children and for me it was very obvious that this generation is gonna have to deal with some other issues uh than generations before but then it kind of got forgotten because all of a sudden it was social media was a big issue so let's look at these main causes of stress and generation c so this again is back to the american psychological association survey of 2019 that's when they did and so you can see that more than adults they are worried about they're very stressed out about mass shootings uh they are worried about the rise in suicide rates and it's kind of like festers on them uh they're really worried about climate change and global warming they are um worried about uh separation and deportation deportation of immigrant families and they're worried about widespread sexual harassment and assault drugs so again if you ask kids themselves what is it that makes you anxious what is it that causes you stress in your daily life well it's right there so you might say yeah but have we seen an increase has there really been like a shift though has do we really see a reason for them from this generation tomorrow will be more worried about these things than uh than older generations because remember gene twenge had these these wonderful graphs right well let's take a look at it well school shootings have allegedly you know increased as well now there's been like i know a lot of the social media researchers are really concerned about what happened around 2012 because that's when facebook came with a like button and that's when a lot of these trends started to shoot up but look at this just look look at what happens in 2012 that is an alternative explanation for it for all of these anxiety and worries well this is sandy hook is these kids a sunny hook that's kind of the the younger siblings of this generation that we're measuring right now wouldn't it be possible to think that when when kids learn about these things that that has an effect on their mental health i would think so look at this cost of college who would have guessed right i mean it's been an exponential growth in the cost of getting an education and this education this generation this might be the first generation that has been inundated with this idea that if you don't go to college you're going to be sitting on under a bridge with a startup fun cup uh for the rest of your life because you you're going to be able to get a job that's basically what they've been taught so if they can't afford to go to college then life is over pretty much and now we actually see declining college rates because they say that it's too expensive so young people are coming out and they're saying i'm not going to college because it's too expensive okay so that's one of the reasons what else um like i mentioned you know for uh other stats that you know they're worried about the future 75 percent are actually frightened about the future it's very difficult to have perfect mental health if you're worried about the future um 45 think that the humanity is doomed now if that's what you think might happen then i don't see how anybody can can have good mental health given those those statistics um and you can see here too again you have like a trend that goes up you know with uh um the um the the number of people who are either worried or somewhat worried um about um global warming that has increased as well quite a bit so you see the same curve so again you know you could share if you can say oh look at social media look how that increased during that same time that they got depressed well here's some other course so to summarize you know uh there's been a lot of attention given to social media as a cause of mental health issues in generation z and most of these are correlational and bivariate meaning that they're not looking at a lot of different explanatory variables and testing that to see like which ones might have the most power um a few of these studies show strong significant effects and the longitudinal studies actually find the opposite causation so that the depression is is leading to social media use um generation z give other answers uh which are about systemic process again it's not you can't individualize this it's not necessarily with the family itself but there are structural things that are happening in their environment outside of them outside of their control there are are sort of causing this sort of despondence and fear um and uh and many of these worries that correlate with mental health problems as well so i just wanted to sort of um you know it was mentioned again that you know every new technology and i think you can quote me on this that each time there's a new technology that experiences some mass adoption in the youngest generation you can be pretty sure that the older generation is going to find a way to demonize it and they're going to find a way to to sort of claim that the younger generation is doomed because of it um i uh i think it was carl i don't know if carl is here today but uh he shared a great article yesterday which about something about like um when the when bicycles came out then there was like a backlash against bicycles because they would liberate women you know every new technology is going to i have some repercussions so so again you know it's um i'm not again i'm not trying to take down twangy or heights or any of those other uh the the good academians that are doing strong research but i think it's worthwhile picking on a little bit and see what else we can come up with um and again like the charlatans i'm not even gonna go there but um there's a lot of charlatan theories as well that we don't need to waste our time on that so um yeah that was what i have and i'm i'm really excited to a conversation i would love to hear what you guys think and um yeah thank you well thank you for a very uh interesting uh talk with a persuasive thesis and i quite enjoyed it um yeah and so i say a number of you because i know you personally will just be able to probably unmute yourselves but the way we can just do this in general for both those who can and can't is uh if you have a question for ann you can either type in the chat or you can raise your hand and i can unmute you or you can unmute yourself if you have the privileges but if i call on you but um i'm going to tee us off and i have a question fran so you know it i'm going to avoid the easy uh trap of just like saying oh okay well everyone's just who's claiming this social media narrative is is purely not acting in good faith and just looking for a scapegoat basically um but i guess i guess the first question is for those like the researchers you cite why do you think they are so strongly persuaded that it is social media and a sort of follow-up question for the people who maybe are not acting in good faith i know i know it's uh you know the the easy answer would be well maybe it's that they're not acting in good faith just because they don't want to acknowledge all these ways older generations have screwed up the world that gen z is rightfully upset about but is a possible other theory for the people not in good faith that they want to ban social media for other reasons and are using the kids as the reason why we must ban it yes actually the more nefarious theory there um and again i share i share your sentiment that like that's not the probably the dominating dominant reason for why we have all of this attention around social media but i do think that it's very convenient if you're going to sort of stifle the very same channels that young people are using to voice their displeasure with their older generation right i mean it's very it's a very effective way let's just take the weapons away from them and they'd say oh you're worried about a waistline over there oh no okay let's take that away from you when that is in fact that's what they have they've been sort of uh dis powered or like a you know disarmed that this whole generation they don't it's not like they have a big political voice it's not like they have a lot of um strong economic power look at most people in in congress they're over how many how old are they 80 or something you know so so it's not like they are represented well so if you take away this you take away an extremely powerful media because they actually have a lot of power this younger generation has tons of power they have influence like they have digital influence and they know how to use it so that can actually be a threat that might be a threat to some people in power so there might definitely be some incentives to to try to to sort of just to to um to really build riff on that narrative that oh this is bad for you and and i guess also as i want to make sure we cover this as well um for the for the researchers who you respect and are acting in good faith why do you think they're so persuaded of their thesis when you've raised compelling evidence that their thesis might be pure correlation and not causation yeah i i'm actually very very surprised myself to be honest uh i i i would if you had to speculate why would you say yeah um and um so one thing i know is that before this igen uh study this uh generation z and social media and uh depression type of study that uh twinkie has uh preoccupied herself with for the past few years before then she was actually very pretty well known for launching the the theory that um millennials uh that there's a growing narcissism among the millennial generation hey i resemble that you know it's interesting because she's she has a lot of good data and it's just that yeah it kind of peaked with millennials but it had you know narcissism trend started with boomers and this kind of increased an increase in increase and what i found extremely interesting was that she had written a paper with um when she first started looking at before this whole social media thing when she first started looking at generation z because i was like when is training going to start looking at generation z because i was again i'm i'm you know i admire a lot of her research and her rigor and so i was like when is she going to do that and then she wrote a paper with some other researchers i forget their names sorry but what i found interesting was that the narcissism trend had had turned gone down and and that i think that's when she started speculating huh what is it so sort of like okay first they built themselves up the kids built themselves up and then they kind of like put themselves down because and then i think maybe she was convinced that oh it's because of social media and as soon as social media comes then people start comparing compare themselves with each other so so it's like okay you can't be narcissistic anymore or you can't be like well i i actually say that you know you might actually become more narcissistic when you're insecure but for some reason i guess in her i'm just trying to parlay her research but for some reason now the focus wasn't so much on narcissism but the focus was more on how you perceive yourself in light of that comparison that you do with other people when you have social media so i feel like there's a duality here that there i feel like that one focus area kind of give birth to the next one so it's like you see she might kind of see generation z a little bit in the context of millennials so i wonder if that might be one of the reasons that she's doing this and i think also like if you have first started you know making an argument you need to kind of follow up on it but i do i do find it a little bit problematic you know that she takes these uh these data points and just kind of compare them um yeah but i i also think because it is so incredibly easy for older people to default into this thinking that if people would just do what we used to do it wouldn't be so bad you know if kids would just be like i was i scraped up my knees like i did this i knew that you know like i i didn't have it real you know when i first started uh doing generational theories back in early 2000s i actually worked um for a cpg company where we were looking at the infant markets and so my job was to go in on this back then we didn't have a lot of social media but we had discussion boards where people were still actually anonymous people would have discussion and you had these parent boards that would you know spending a lot of time on parent ports and there was so much gripe around like young people like dad they didn't have smartphones back then but you got ipods you know they had eyeballs they're so spoiled you know uh and and i had it hard i really had to pull myself up by the bootstraps but look at these kids today so it's very difficult i think for if you have that mindset to to even think that there could be something else that could be it because i i mentioned digital anthropology and i actually think that there's a there's a strong um there's you need you actually need this you need this field to be a bastard you need it to be an academic pastor because you need to do the very rigorous data science but you also need the anthropology so you need sort of like to be able to put yourself into the mindset that perhaps it is so that uh young people actually perceive the world differently they perceive their resources differently maybe they use social media differently and that's actually what we see so but if you come in with the mindset that you know i didn't do this when i was young and i did so much better then that i think you're you're starting in the you you it's it's not the way to start you kind of need to start with talking to these kids you need to figure out like you have to observe them you have to kind of look at what is it that they actually do with this technology wait you mean treat them like they're human beings and not aliens we have to study from afar get out of it exactly um yeah i uh i actually you know complaining about the kids is a really old pastime i shared a fun comic in the chat there that i think really shows how this has been going on forever but um and also i just i want to add my own little perspective as a millennial who has been on the internet since 1996 so pretty young millennial on the internet um and you know i'll say okay social media didn't exist when i started using the internet in the way we think of it now but i will first of all point out that like well when facebook came along it was millennials who joined it first not gen z or other generations millennials joined it first i was in college when it blew up and i'll point out that there there was proto-social media before facebook there was a space there was a live journal there was zynga there was friendster there was social media now it was it was forum based asynchronous social media that was not real time and did not have a continuously scrolling algorithmically generated feed but there was social media that you were on chatting with your friends yeah exactly i think it's very easy to to forget that that they they they tend to think of social media as like this is the youngest generation actually what uh when i first became interested in the in the in the connection between young people and social media my starting point was actually generation x because after a few years when millennials kind of like they had already you know reached the you know the plateau and and and my generation was kind of starting to pick up and we were the ones at the early 2010s 2012 we had young kids and we got on social media and i i remember seeing so much oversharing uh uh yeah or people my age are older maybe not so much my generation actually i don't think x-rays but like when i saw like the older generations like they they would be over sharing so much and a lot of the things that they would over share about was their own kids or their their grandkids or their nephews or something and i felt like oh this is tmi i don't really you know if i feel cringey that you share this i'm sure there's gonna come a time but that kid is not gonna be very happy to read what you share about them you know or see the pictures that you should like so this and and now of course we have much more like understanding with consent you can't just post stuff about people unless you actually ask for their permission now you can but you might not like what happens yeah exactly yeah exactly yeah so you know uh so i think that that's that's definitely like that that shaped that generation so you look at a lot of the behaviors of young people in social media today and this is this is kind of stuff that i don't think even passes the radar and a lot of these this this um social medias cause of mental health problems a lot of times is that uh young people are using social media with that in mind they're using deletability i mean that that's just part of the nature they they do this purging and where they clean up their feeds and like you mentioned mentioned instagram you know they have these different personas so they're able to kind of protect themselves better they protect their private privacy better they protect their uh and also they have a different comfort level with with sharing things so some of them are actually able to be quite vulnerable online which i think might actually be a good a good thing because when that becomes normalized then then it's not so much about like bottling up your feelings and pretending that you're something that you're not and and these are the kind of things that i think it goes missing like that's not like how social media is being used and how it's evolving that doesn't really surface very often in this research and um and and it's it'll be interesting like how that that narrative is going to continue as we go into the meta metaverse you know and like you know how is that going to how is that discussion going to continue to go agreed so it's going to be interesting to see how this all evolves um does anybody else have a questions for ann here or thoughts or things they like to contribute as i said you're welcome to chat it you're welcome to raise your hand or you can unmute and ask and and it's fine if you know uh you know if there aren't very many questions i can probably think up another question or two um before we adjourn if there's not much questions all right let me uh let me think what another good thing maybe to ask would be um okay so your presentation you get into um you know you talk about that you know there's actually a lot of data indicating that for a lot of uh jinzy's social media is actually a positive thing for their mental health but you know you do point out that especially in some categories um um you you point out some categories that they're um it it may very well be detrimental to mental health in in certain things uh for certain groups and i guess i'm wondering you know what do you think the things we can do to actually maybe address the places where it does affect mental health intrinsically the medium and and not in these fear-mongering politicians showboating grilling facebook stuff what what actually might help these issues do you think oh so there's another um kind of social media conundrum that i'm interested in too and it's how it's polarizing and uh and obviously like polarization is not very good either for mental health but and and this is another sort of tired trope i think that oh technology is bad because it makes us uh it makes us like uh it drives us crazy we become too polarized right um well actually the algorithms are bad but the algorithms are not necessarily bad by fundamentally bad they're bad in the way that they have been optimized and the reason they're optimized the way they are is because there's someone who actually uh finds that beneficial like it's it's it helps their business model at least from now i i i think it's interesting to kind of um imagine what will happen when we're also like drifting apart like as in in a universe we're like just falling into black holes and like you know where does that business model eventually end i don't think it's a good a sustainable business model i think that a business model is better when you can draw people together and actually neutral conversations and so there's there's different ways that i think that for example just just and i'm going to get to that about the body issues and stuff in a little bit but like one of the ways that you can optimize an algorithm for example you can maybe use some principles like ground and veterans network theory which is like basically based on weak links where you take for example instead of optimizing based on how many clicks does this get let's look at things like how how diver how diverse are the viewpoints or the people who have liked this thing over here how diverse are they you know i does this represent many different people with many different types of viewpoints are different types of words mentioned so it could be optimized for diversity and opinion for example um when you do that you you will necessarily you know uh create these community and you could for example uh optimize based on what kind of language people are using that there it's not you know offensive it's not um uh yeah so basically politeness you can optimize for politeness um i think it could do the same thing for body positivity you can you can optimize body positive messages better um if that is the biggest issue um you can um you can basically use the algorithm against the new algorithms against the old algorithms if you will so you can create new communities you can create and you can also have flags for example i'm back a few years ago on tumblr tumblr was a was a horrible place because you had like these pro anna uh and you know self-harming and suicidal websites where people would literally try to encourage each other to to do this uh and so you have this community so you can mod obviously you can moderate it but i think human moderation you know it's it's not possible so you need to create algorithms to moderate right it doesn't scale for billions of people you can't moderate with humans billions of people exactly exactly and and i think that is also that's where legislators go wrong i think legislators for example i think the united nations lately it was some suggestions that nation states national leaders should ban artificial intelligence if and there was like some if it can be misused and i'm like whoa oh yeah okay there right then so ban all of it okay exactly yeah and i think that there's been like various legislative efforts to try to suggest that um for example this idea that that social media should be regulated like um like a newspaper uh or like a regular media source i don't see how that can ever happen because like i said you can scale it it's impossible and it's sort of like it takes away some of the some of the purpose but but i do i do believe that the villain here if there's a villain in those um those more destructive behaviors and attitudes that we see as a consequence of this it is precisely because it has been optimized to make us as characters of ourselves instead of making us into uh wholesome human beings uh basically and i think it's possible to use algorithms to do that maybe i'm too optimistic but at least i i don't entire disagree and i mean one of the reforms i've always said would actually help that i've pushed for a lot is uh facebook you know should allow me to there should be some sort of open api standard where i can swap in any social media algorithm feed i want that anyone anywhere on the internet made and i can run my facebook feed with that algorithm i think that alone would be one of the biggest things that would fix the problem so it squares quite a lot your thoughts with what i've been thinking and and i also emphasize like yeah i i abs once again with everybody blaming polarization purely on the technology i i one time was in some thread with somebody who i was beating that drum and i just basically kind of threw up my hands and was like well you know one i've actually had some of the most enlightening discussions period on social media i've ever had like more area that i learned more than in college you know and on the other hand like have you never seen a bar fight like you don't need social media for people to start being yeah yeah i i agree it's um yeah no i i totally share that sentiment i think my own social media networks i used to keep them fairly small but they've grown quite big at least in my standard because i think i think humans can only have i think we can only have a hundred friends or something i don't think it's there's some research the number is dunbar's number is positive to be about 150 people yes you can know more than 150 people but you can only have a meaningful friendship with 150 at any one time exactly and and for me the fact that my social networks have expanded way beyond the dunbar maximum number that forces me to kind of it forces me to interact with people who are very different from me and to read what they think and how do they think about things and and it's actually useful for me because i grow i feel like i grow that way and it's it's making me a less biased person i would think it forces you to have even if it doesn't change your opinion it forces you to have stronger arguments for your opinion because you encounter the smart arguments against your opinion exactly exactly i think that's true but that i'm also like another thing that i think that people should realize that they can do and this is something that generations is very good at like um so generation z will talk about algorithms as their personal possessions so yeah they will talk about my algorithm so they're very common for gen xers just like talk about this is my algorithm what that means is that this is something they train they train their algorithm like a dog so they train it in order because they know how it works so they they they're very aware that they watch certain kinds of videos they'll see more of that kind of video and so they they very actively sculpt their algorithm their feed to reflect who they are exactly they do and i i'm taking some cues from that myself like i i i personally i try to avoid like very contentious like debates i i might read them but i i try not to respond because it's just like i i don't feel anything good comes out of that and and i love animal videos so like i i tend to really dig animal videos and i click you know people say oh when they remember when they talked about like internet was gonna we gonna we're gonna degenerate because of cat videos and then now it's like the best thing we can do for ourself and our mental health is to take cat videos you know because everything else is it probably couldn't hurt for us to have more of the cat videos again i do have one question for you that i was asked for which is i don't know if your research or the research has been done has have you looked it all into like you know there's the sort of zone of people who are right on the millennial agency divide cenials as they're sometimes called are there like are they are there noticeable differences in their attitudes on everything we've been talking about on their mental health on their use of social media do we see a blend of millennials in gen z are they all gen z are they all millennial just like what how do somebody who i suspect is a zinio is asking how do xenials fit into this conversation well as i'm just gonna as someone that thinks like i i am technically a millennial but i have a lot more ideological and i would go so far as a practical overlap with jinzy because a lot of what you described of ginzi's perspective has been my perspective so i'm really curious to hear what you have to say to you sorry for interrupting so yes uh there's a lot of commonality between those two two generations and again remember what i said about like most generational um oh and actually sorry i i did mix it up a bit where i forgot zinio is the blend of millennial and gen x so maybe we can expand the question to say just where maybe we can just expand this to different generational attitudes period but but do the gen z millennial one first i just i realized i misrepresented the original question again no problem um but yeah so um again you know most most sort of perceptions that we have huge profound differences between generations most of that can be debunked um and we actually don't have enough longitude enough longitudinal data to say a whole lot of difference between millennials and and generations ears one of the things though that i've noticed with generation z is that um a lot of things reaches the peak with millennials a lot of things too so uh for example this about you know nude i mentioned this about narcissism like that that goes back down again with the younger generations and and and also about like mood like millennials tend to be they're still pretty i think that they've had they've been in for some pretty rocky rides lately so with you know student debt and a lot of things but they're still fairly optimistic a lot of i can't really remember exactly now but a lot of times i spend a lot of times looking at surveys obviously and i i look at like how do different generations respond to different things and millennials like it reaches the peak with millennials and then it goes down it's almost like we've reached a pendulum where it's now coming back again with gen xeros in many respects um but but definitely uh gen z definitely that is a very mental health pregnancy that's a very clear generational trend um not that millennials have not also experienced it's also period effect so like i think every generation has most generations including boomers have had had a worsening of mental health issues which could have something to do with these these problems that we've already discussed but you see it profoundly profoundly for generations so it's like much much stronger um but also when it comes to things like uh they how enamored um different generations are with like the latest the newest and the greatest actually this younger generation they are truly digital natives and what i mean by that it's not someone who's like all gung-ho or the newest thing came up nft is metaverse no no no no it's not about that at all it's quite the opposite it's like if you're native to something it means that you see the good and the bad it's like i'm native to norway i've seen you know i've seen norway on a really sluggish day when it's cold and dark so it means that i i know in norway can be beautiful but i don't see it like a tourist so it's the same thing and young people had their their embarrassing child photos posted on their mom's facebook wall they can definitely see that you know the bad stuff so like i i don't even think that we give them enough you know uh credit for all of this um so so that's interesting like there's a lot of trends where it's kind of like coming back again with generation c i don't know if that was actually an answer well i i do find that interesting i mean it does square a bit with my own self-perception maybe as a millennial um you know i don't know if i'd use the word as as harsh as narcissism to describe myself but when i'm being brutally honest i i you know i i can often have a bit of an inflated uh opinion of my opinion about things shall we say but particularly the part i thought you said that seems to square with myself and the millennials i know versus the people of morgensi i know which is i think you are right that maybe optimism is a weird sort of difference between the two generations because you are correct millennials have been through a lot of really rough horrific experiences as well although they happened right as we were coming into college instead of when we were young well i guess if you count 9 11 as the start when we were teenagers instead of when we were barely born but yeah but millennials and i include myself in this we tend to still be weirdly optimistic about the future despite maybe the evidence not warranting that optimism while ginsee is like no it's not happening so i think you may be on to something there it at least matches my own self my own experiences and perception yes that could possibly that's a good that's a good explanation i think also that there's something in um there's power in numbers right and millennials they are a very big generation um what has happened with generation z like uh during their generation there's there's there was a decline in the birth rate and also the immigration rate so that we're we're way under replacement level which really means that um and actually when you ask young young people they don't want to have kids they really don't and i mean i think most young people say i don't want to have kids but then they grow in winter but in this case it's like it's based on like a really fundamental uh pessimism of the future they don't want to bring kids into this world so so it's kind of like you know you see it on so many levels and and then of course when there's fewer of you there's there fewer to represent you and um millennials could like really become like a very engaged political generation that is going to you know be like the next boomers that have a lot of political power and influence and um genders might might feel that they don't they feel a little bit overwhelmed you know i i'm an expert there's a lot of very noisy boomers above me and we were kind of neglected you know and i i think that ginzier's are kind of seeing the same thing like they're they're becoming a more neglected generation do we got any uh other questions for ann it is fine if we don't there is no rule we have to use up our whole allotted two hours if the conversation has run its course it's from its course but uh we'll make sure just want to see if we have any final questions for ann before we maybe segue to the end here i don't have any questions but ann i want you to know that you got some really good twitter quotes that i'm that that i that are great and i tag you in them i hope they don't spark any debates between you and random people on twitter if they do i will happily come to your defense as my own person but just letting you know you know i i welcome that actually i um i do actually like uh conversations in social media so yeah yeah yeah bring it on i mean i even like really contentious ones as long as everyone is like respectful you know which i know it seems like such a robotic fairy yet people fail it all the time um yeah um i have a question david what is there a particular well is there a particular hashtag for the twitter thread or should they just go look at our twitter you can go look at our twitter page um i didn't create like an eff awesome monthly meetup hashtag i probably should have um but some of the consistent hashtags that i did use are social media mental health and gen z um so those should lead you to the conference to the to the quoting session as well and yeah this is the first time we've what we may have done long ago maybe even predating my tenure with eff austin way back in your we we may have done some live tweeting with twitter but it's not been a regular thing we've done for years so this basically is an experiment if there's any part of it that worked for you or didn't work for you let me or david know and we can tweak the process oh yeah no i yeah i am when we're finished up tonight i will definitely check out the twitter feed i it looks i like twitter i one of the things that i'm noticing in my own life is that i just don't have time for social media it used to be like um you would go on social media because you were a little bored and now i feel like ah i'm supposed to like i'm supposed to be relevant i'm supposed to share something and i just don't have the time and like so i i absolutely love it when people do it for me because it's it's nice to keep like you know it's nice to keep that conversation going and it just it takes time and effort and that's what i'm finding myself like lacking quite a bit these days yeah we got a comment here saying you know they they love twitter and hate facebook you know and i mean i know there are people who really have that sentiment like i know uh corey doctor who's probably a smarter man than me like got rid of facebook like a decade ago but he's still quite active on twitter and i mean i i will say um you know at least traditionally i've mainly used social media to chat with my friends which is why maybe i've been on facebook more than twitter though you know as i do more and more yet that lost me stuff twitter maybe makes more sense for me though facebook's groups have been useful as well but one thing i have always appreciated about twitter compared to facebook is you know twitter is quite open that this is all completely public it's not like facebook that like sort of pretends it's private but it's really not you know twitter is quite open about what it is there isn't really duplicity there i see yeah yeah oh carl has a question or a comment i had to unmute myself get a question for anne since i don't know the the last time you you lived in europe uh but i lived there like in the late 80s and it was strange coming back coming back home to united states i would tell my friends you know about things in europe and you know the trains the buses better transportation system uh better education and they would just either say oh if you don't like america leave or how come you didn't stay there or you know that's we do things our way and they do things their way so you know you're showing me this this data uh about the youth in the united states and you're comparing it you know to you know to other places so it would seem that obviously these people that are doing the research that they just wouldn't look at friends in the united states maybe they would look at trends in england and europe and other places where they also use social media and they would they would realize oh i'm i'm making a false you know because that what was the word correlation causation yeah yeah yeah so you know how i mean you would think these people would be smart enough to like to do that so what what is the bias that is keeping them from looking you know across the ocean or you know that's you know that's a really good question i'm so glad you ans asked that because actually lately i did notice that um twengy and heights they had done uh they had looked at some some international numbers so uh and i was yay finally you know i was so glad to see that um where they looked at um [Music] sorry i'm just gonna plug in my computer um uh where so pisa which is called pisa that uh you know the organization that looks at um academic scores they have now started to also ask children questions about things like if they're feeling lonely and you know loneliness is something that has been um thought of as an in connection with social media that's actually i feel like that is a little bit better argument to make possibly even you know it's a little bit easier to see the connection between loneliness and and social media but anyway so they got all this data and so they got international data and then they uh looked at okay uh loneliness has increased and then um and social media has increased in those countries as well so they did that okay good all right and then they said okay we should probably try to control for some other variables so they took but then they took like so they they wanted to see are there just does it co-vary with some other things and then i looked at things like gdp and fertility rates so i was like and then they said well fertility rates did not increase and neither did gdp and the only thing that the only correlation we found was between loneliness and and social media use so therefore this is happening internationally well and i'm like i felt that yeah there's got to be i so at least they have tried but i don't think they succeeded like i don't think they succeeded but they i again you know that sounds incredibly cocky of me because these guys are way smarter than i am and then there might be something a nuance that i misunderstand so if i misunderstood their their their their scope and their research then um mia culpa and i will say i will eat that but based on what i read um it didn't seem like it and i i really really think that on a lot of social relations if we took the time to look at data from other countries and we did those comparisons we would be able to check these theories much better and it isn't happening nearly enough the one thing that is interesting to that that global perspective because mental health is a fairly global phenomenon it is um there's it there's been a lot of research and but again like when they ask the kids when they ask the kids themselves why are you what are you worried about especially anxiety and what are they anxious about and and it's it's never social media it's usually it's kind of tied up to climate change actually they're very worried about climate change and especially in countries that are going to be more affected with it so you know yep um and i'll just also say that you know uh you know there's actually reasonable reason to believe you know even when dealing with you know clearly very smart uh researchers who take their work seriously and are trying to deposit real results that you know one should always be willing to question if one thinks one spotted a flaw in their methodologies or data because i mean um this may be fairly known to some of the people in this in this chat but um but there is an ongoing debate in in in the sciences right now that's essentially called the replication crisis and it is the acknowledged fact among scientists that actually the majority of published scientific results and papers are wrong or in the sense that nobody can reproduce the results of the paper actually so it happens a lot and it's actually it's a huge problem in the sciences right now the scientists are legitimately trying to figure out how to address it so you know in so yes you know they may be acting in good faith and they may be smart and they may be doing good research but there may be very much flaws in some of the conclusions you know there and why we you know it's always good when somebody else comes in to test the paper and potentially even better when it's somebody whose financial livelihood isn't on the line because the reason nobody tests anybody else's papers is it isn't tied to funding so scientists want to publish new results not test existing ones exactly i think i think that has a lot to do with it and i think that once you have published something that proves a possible connection you're going to have to continue to ride that horse because if you all of a sudden oh yeah i know i found this last year but then now i'm finding a way to actually uh refute myself then then you won't get funding and you won't get to whole talks you can't write books anymore there's a lot of things that there's a lot of sort of vested interest in continuing to ride the horse that you first started writing at the beginning you know so yeah i um i i really hope i really hope that we what we get also like as we're speaking of a new generation that we actually get a new generation of scientists that comes in and rebel like you know just really change the whole you know how that is the whole the whole um the funding structure and uh what is considered your research good research and and um for example one of the things that and honestly this is one of the reasons that i sort of i'm not doing generational research more than part time is because very often i was called to can you can you take this project over here for this company can you can you hold this presentation we really want you to talk about this connection and i was uh well well that connection is kind of not really a connection i can i can problematize and i can tell you guys like why why this is a perception of a character connection but actually if you look over here kind of like what i did today it doesn't sell at all like they're not interested in that because if someone has decided that like i want to hear about this then you're not going to be able to come in and change that that cognitive bias if you want to call it that and if if that's an organization that has decided that this is what we believe you can't come in and shift you can't come in and change that and and that's really the opposite of science so i you can't do good science if you if you are driven by your own or other people's cognitive biases do we have any uh final questions for ann cool all right well i think i will call it here so um i want to thank uh ann uh for speaking on i thought it was a very interesting talk i had a lot of interesting things to chew on and i hope you all did as well and finally um just want to let y'all know that we usually um after our virtual meetups we do a little bit of a virtual hangout uh that our friend mike firstenfeld to make every media allows us to do with his gethertown room which i'm actually going to allow him to explain it he i'm also going to let him give you a little preview of since he's going to be our speaker next month i'm going to let him give you a little preview of what he's going to be talking about as well as introduce our sort of virtual happy hour after this so i'm going to let him be able to unmute himself there and he can take it away hello hello testing testing can you see me i'm on my cell phone i'm also on a computer in the gather town and if you go to make every media dot com slash media lounge you can get your day pass link uh gather is kind of a metaverse i mean it's not related to meta uh it's a separate company from facebook it's gather they haven't been bought by facebook yet um but it's kind of a 2d metaverse that it doesn't require a vr headset it's just a web browser uh unfortunately it doesn't work great on mobile devices yet phones yet uh but it's still kind of a cool new technology it makes use of uh spatial video conferencing so you can move your little avatar you can create a little avatar and move them around the screen using the keyboard arrows and as you get closer to other people's avatars their videos and audios start to fade in and you can leave conversations if you don't want to be part of that conversation you can explore uh the whole space there's lots of easter eggs and white boards to draw on and games to play uh and then you can also go to directly to the stage to the left that's usually where the eff folks congregate uh uh so that so that they can be heard by everyone in the room uh if you if you jump on the stage all the way to the left of the room uh then you will be heard by everyone in the room there's a lot of other features we can go over if you get in there we can watch videos together uh it's pretty cool though it's it's kind of it's the closest thing that we found yet to bring with each other in what feels like a physical space without a vr headset and it is one of the many technologies i will be covering in my january talk how to make every media with free and open source software where i will be putting together a resource sheet basically and presenting on how to get started in any media of your choosing whether it be podcast film virtual conferences app development uh trying to just centralize for myself partially knowledge about the best open source uh software technologies for for several different media including game development and and i think we'll be even diving into a little bit of of unity um towards the end of the talk to talk about how uh we might make an eff austin video game uh quickly and that's just a preview of my talk uh thanks kevin for letting me speak i hope to see some of you in the media lounge awesome well uh so yes so there's an open invitation any of you who are free to uh to join us um we'll hang around for at least a little bit me and mike um to see if anybody pops in um but yeah and as i said stay tuned we're we're tentatively going to try to revisit in-person meetups next month obviously me and mike will be talking about the logistics of that as well as making sure that there are still options for those who wish to attend virtually um including potentially the speaker i've not had these conversations with mike yet but we we could even potentially trial a remote speaker since i do know i have speakers in it for next year who are remote but we'll do whatever is mike's preference but yeah stay tuned um i'm very rusty about it in person meetups at this point so there you will have to bear with me if it is a rusty first one i am uh very out of practice on doing these things in person but anyway uh thank you so much for coming thank you ann for speaking it was great uh we'll have to keep having you back because we all keep learning a lot um and also thank you so much uh as you as well as uh carl for yesterday uh taking part in the uh the privacy panel i really appreciate the perspective both of you brought to that i thought we had a very very good discussion so anyway thank you all for attending um as i said this the next one of these will be the second uh tuesday of january at 7 00 pm follow us on social media to keep up with things and actually also stay tuned we are in the process of an eff austin website redesign and we're sort of tentatively hoping we might be able to launch version one of it early in the new year so uh stay tuned for that as well anyway thank you all and we'll uh we'll see you next time thank you so much kevin	EFF-Austin	UCct8mRQ_Hr2lZBtojV5fjbA	2022-01-14	Creative Commons

3Y0vUVNhTvs	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y0vUVNhTvs	Idaho4 - Sigma Chi Frat Boys - Inside Look at Initiation & Ritualistic Aspects of Brotherhood*	hey y'all happy Friday thanks for stopping by my channel I am feeling a little better so I decided I was going to put out a part one and a half before I do part two of the sigma Kai frat boy videos and I want to say first and foremost everything in this video is pure speculation based solely on my personal thoughts and opinions and I'm not accusing anyone of anything and I encourage you guys all to do your own research and form your own conclusions so guys it just so happens every time I'm looking into something and I don't know if it's just like an intuitive thing um but I always get led to the right path somehow so when I was trying to get ready for the part two I came across a few things that I thought I'd hop on and share and get more of your input and then I will do part two hopefully by Sunday God willing I stay feeling good until Sunday so what you're looking at right here is the sigma Kai initiation ritual this is what they I guess have to recite when they are being initiated I found it interesting it's a little bit of a long lengthy read but you can press pause and then press play if you're interested I personally have been thinking on this path from day one so I find it interesting if not skip ahead sorry guys for those who don't like to read because of my voice I can't not going to read and I'm not going to like baby you guys you can read on your own um but I did find this interesting and there's a little more reading to come but I found this as I was looking into what's coming up next which is what was posted last week on the University of Idaho Sigma Kai Instagram and so they had announced their 2024 executive board members and each dude's pictur you're about to see and they have their picture and their position or their title held so I was like huh what's that mean so I went to the website and I got the definition of each and I was a little well first Google popped up with a bunch of other stuff that made me really interested then I went to the website to get the proper terminology for literal Sigma Kai members so that's what you're seeing and again press pause and then press play read at your own pace I just found it interesting because this discusses a lot of the initiation the ritualistic part and this guy Trent is actually the guy with the chest tattoo um that you see here he was in the last video you know angry dude very angry which I'm going to get to that point in part two so please do hit the notification Bell so you don't miss that by Sunday and I found it just interesting that they use certain words and the terminology but they're very careful I also found some other stuff a little you know digging a little deeper from past prior sigai members not just at University of Idaho but from All Over America and it's just interesting and my point of all this is to really I never ever understood Illuminati Freemason like I did not never even think that that was all real now what do we see we see Diddy dealing with all this stuff that he's allegedly been doing for years and years and I mean it's like I look back and I'm like oh my God my whole like end of high school my college years were like these people were all being so they were being corrupted and they by corrupt awful rich rich rich people right so just cuz Diddy's like a rapper it's not just cuz he's some black dude gangster rap rich guy it's not just these people it's Rich Elite people in America do you know who owns Universal records some old rich white dude so this has nothing to do with color and I personally in my opinion watching the last video that I shared with y'all they kind of treated the mixed kid I'm mixed half black half white just like dude so I'm speaking freely on this and I've heard from other sources that they don't treat people of color very well that's supposed to be their homie right but they weren't talking to him like he was a homie they don't even talk to each other like they're homies they're not Brothers they're not friends if you ask me that's my opinion and it just made me wonder hm I wonder what Ethan was doing at that time p is being exposed because he's done this for so long but he's gotten away with it for so long these kids are no different they are getting away with unal livings possibly possibly or knowing and not telling the truth about something none of these kids you cannot tell me that not one of them has a clue what happened that's BS I'm just saying but I'd like to hear your thoughts y'all and I will get part two out hopefully by Sunday and I will get back to your comments later today hit the like subscribe notification Bell and stay safe	Tellit2Elle	UCNnT6b6erVvWrky19p_W09g	2024-04-05	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	907	4,637

behind is is almost exactly what I spent on surgeries that I needed to stay alive so uh I am coming to you with a request and a plea for some help I am going to do everything that I can to get out of

Cyberbully Superstar poster which I have not sold since 2014 it's going to be signed and you're going to get a t-shirt okay uh I think the cheapest level of support is like uh uh 50 bucks or less um and if you sign up to that one you're going to going to get a poster and a t-shirt uh and if you sign up to the one after that the one that's a little bit more expensive than that I will give you uh three posters because it doesn't cost me anything extra to send you a couple more posters uh but you get some more value I'm going to sign all of them this is not a bit I am in a dire situation um and I uh I I really do think that I can pull out of this but I do need your help if you've ever gotten any value out of this show if you've ever wanted to to support me now is the time I don't want to have uh beaten all of these horrible impossible things that I've overcome only just to to kind of lose now I don't have a money problem I have a Time problem I will be okay in 6 months but the bank doesn't want to give me 6 months so if uh if you've ever gotten anything out of the show and you do want to support uh you'll get early access to all the episodes you get an extra episode every single week and you get access to the Discord and you get it for an entire year uh if you if you pay for it now so it's patreon.com Spears this is not a bit I am serious uh and I've been fighting for a very very long time to not have to do this and get to this point um so if you've if you currently support me on patreon you can switch to the yearly I would love for you to do that you'll save money it just it's basically just I needed a little Advance on uh on the support you're going to give me throughout the year anyway so I just signed up for it kein just signed up and you know what he's not even getting paid here so so uh yeah I whatever you can do um in regards to the patreon thing that would be amazing um so yeah that's where I'm at patreon.com beers if you can help I would be Beyond grateful because it's it's my house that's at risk and I would hate to have have gone through all of this [ __ ] just to lose now um So yeah thank you for whatever you can do um the yearly support option is is really really really what I what I need you to do if I'm being honest I I'm [ __ ] without it so uh if we can get you know even a couple hundred people doing that will make the biggest biggest difference to my life so if you can help uh for the love of God please do you'll get a poster out of it that I haven't sold since 2014 and I know a lot of you guys are collecting the posters I'll sign them God help um anyway I would I would now that that's done I need to address some allegations uh that are Level being leveled against me uh I started doing real talk videos um and I'm getting a lot of comments in the most recent episode that my hair is going gray all right why do why the [ __ ] do you think it's going gray all right also it's good to go gray early I'm a silver fox okay I'm I'm a s I'm I'm 29 years old I'm not balding I am going gray [ __ ] that's what I get that's you know you know I read the other day that if you don't go bald if you don't start to go bald by the time you're 30 you're probably going to keep your hair forever I turned 30 in January dear God give me a birthday present I turned 30 in January patreon.com I turned 30 in January I haven't lost a single hair follicle that's amazing I get to keep all my hair but you're telling me it's going to be [ __ ] Gray 4M 60 that sucks this is [ __ ] you maybe I should be one of those guys that um covers up their great you know what it is I haven't had a haircut for for longer than than usual do you know why um why is that oh cuz I'm I'm uh I'm destitute because if I if I have 30 bucks it's going to the bank um maybe I'll become one of those guys that dies their their hair you know those people but they but the the shade's always off you know like the shades always like like they go like for me I go brown but it would be like really Brown you be like Louis looks weird but you can't really tell why and then I go i' I've I've dyed my hair and they go Oh wrong color dude it looks horrific so I I uh I would just like to say that if you don't want me to have gray hair patreon.com beers that's the only way to stop this from from progressing further up the sides of my head you know I got so much worse in the last two years I wonder how much of that was from lack of sleep uh or and much of that was from stress probably a a a critical hit combo of the two you should say when we're having coffee this morning you you complaining about how gray you looked and then you asked do I look that gray yeah I looked up and said yeah you look exactly the same in real life as you do on camera yeah I I was I I was um coping is what I was doing I was lying to myself I thought oh yeah it looks really gray in that video but that's because of the green screen and I had to color grade it a little bit I don't look that like that in real life and kin looks up goes no you definitely do [ __ ] so uh yeah if if if if nothing else you know even if I lose the house your support on patreon will mean I can cover up my grad so thank you so much give a yearly subscription to someone as a Christmas present okay for no no not am yeah for the full amount that's what I mean oh you're saying other people should yes I don't know if you can do that but hey how about this no don't worry about it just help yeah buy it for your mom even if she doesn't use it you know go for it buy two whatever whatever you could seriously for real whatever you can do it it'll help but I'm not going to spend the whole [ __ ] episode begging we do have a banger episode I dude I am so [ __ ] embarrassed not about needing help with my mortgage all right I'm not embarrassed by that at all okay I went through a lot of hell and I survived up to here I'm very proud of myself to to only be struggling this much now what I am embarrassed about is something just heinous this is so okay let me just explain it this is so okay so you may remember I think I talked about this on a podcast it would have been last year when I did shows in uh actually it would have been even before that when I did shows in Brisbane it must have been 2022 towards the end of the year when I did the Gap here tour right I don't know if I I feel I've definitely talked to you about I think I've done on the podcast I booked a hotel and I showed up at the hotel and I paid for it and and they said we have no record of your reservation and I showed them the email and I said no look I've got it it's it's this I was at the right Hotel I had the receipt I had spent like $500 on it I was like this is where I'm supposed to be staying and they looked at the email and they said we do not recognize this website at all this we don't have this and I was like well but I've been charged and like I Googled it and I've I've never done this before I've never gone it wrong so then they go what we're going to do is it definitely looks like a real booking like they would looked at it like it definitely looks real but we don't have any record maybe we [ __ ] up they go into the system they couldn't find any record of it they even looked at the particular room that I had booked uh it was occupied so then they called head office cuz it was a chain and uh they couldn't find any record of it at all and they came out after about 40 minutes of genuinely trying they were really lovely about it they said sir we're so sorry we think you've been scammed uh and I was like what the [ __ ] are you kidding and uh then I looked it up and it turns out it was a website that I had never used before uh but it looked really legit it had a bunch of other things on it I was like oh my god I've been [ __ ] scammed this is such a good scam they got me um [ __ ] so I ended up having to pay pay again to stay in the hotel and they were really nice about it they were like look we can't let you stay for free but they gave me a free upgrade so I st in this baller room for for much cheaper um then right just a couple weeks ago I get an email from that scam website and they reached out to me again and they said hello sir we're from this hotel that you stayed at we can see that you have been charged for something that you did not use so we want to refund you to refund you we've sent you this form we need your debit card and the the number on the back and I read that and I go okay that's a [ __ ] scam because the people who are most likely to fall for scams are most likely to fall for the second follow-up scam as well so I emailed them back and I said hello Rachel in quotation marks uh please suck me from the back no scammer and I responded and I sent it off oh no it has been brought to my attention that I was never scammed they actually just made a clerical error a year ago and they just discovered that they me $500 and this poor woman who works at the the reception of this hotel that I paid for twice tried to give me my money back and I said suck me from the back scammer and she sent me a follow-up email and she said please call the hotel I called the hotel and I talked to the actual girl that I told to suck me from the back and I said I'm so sorry I'm so sorry I I thought you were a scammer she was she wasn't very happy with me but she was good about it she said no I understand why you would think that I did just ask for your credit card and the numbers on the back and I got the money back but it's not enough help oh man that was that going to be the most embarrassing phone call of my life this like 25-year-old girl on on I'm really sorry for I apologize I'm really sorry for saying suck me from the back scammer I thought it was a an a a guy from Bangladesh not some [ __ ] 25-year-old uni student who works at a hotel part time please forgive me so I won't be staying at that hotel anymore because uh even though they were very nice to me and gave me my my money back I feel like if that girl is working reception she's going to she won't clean my toilet or something and you know what I'll deserve that that's 100% on me so I would just say learn from my mistake um and if if you think you've been scammed just be really really sure about it because you could kind of technically end up sexually harassing an innocent Hotel staff member you know she's really lucky because what I what I used to do is I would I would send an attachment with like a horrific disgusting image of like goatsy or something to scammers I used to do that go see have you ever seen that image of that guy sticking his fingers in his ass and pulling it apart for the camera it's foul don't Google it okay um kids uh so so I would I I I would like to say that she's lucky that I didn't do that but really I'm lucky that I didn't do that cuz that's probably illegal to just do that to some some person you don't know um so yeah lesson learned guys uh be polite even to the people who have scammed you are you googling it what are you reckon yeah pretty good huh that's good um all right so uh I have I have here a a story that's just been thoroughly amusing me do you know the wrestler uh Brock Lesnar he I think he's now retired he he's like a uh professional wrestler and former MMA fighter as well like he imagine the biggest SC like this guy is so big and so scary that you would see him as a character in a video game and go that's a little bit too much no human being looks that big and scary well Brock Lesnar has a child a daughter okay and she just absolutely demolished the uh her High School's record in shotput M and bro this girl look at her is the most jacked high school kid I've ever seen in my [ __ ] life this is her dad all right she she looked like she looked she has the body that I want yeah and she's like a how old is she she's a high school kid I believe um look at her look at just the frame she was so [ __ ] tough and scary her mother didn't even try when it came to giving genetics out she got she's 95% Brock Lesnar the only difference between the two of them is age and gender it seems this girl is going to be in the [ __ ] Olympics for sure she was the Minnesota shot put champion in 2019 sometimes you look at someone you look at a woman and you go she is built for throwing rocks like that's what she's for she's for chucking Stones you look at her body and you go that [ __ ] can throw a hunk of of gravel that's really good and uh a lot of a lot of people are being horrible to her and commenting on her and saying she looks more like Brock than a woman well to those people I would say [ __ ] watch out because she may be a child but if you run into her in the street she'll [ __ ] you up she'll pull your head off and throw it like a shot put Stone I love that how old is she she's so jacked what a legend I need to find out okay as if they don't say how old she is okay Brock Lesnar daughter age I mean she looks like oh she's 21 okay yeah so she's still so young I got get over how [ __ ] jacked she is incredible uh not not not what uh what I guess you would uh hope for if if you were if you were a girl and you looked at Mom and Dad and you were like ah which one do I want to look like Brock Lesnar isn't your first choice but if it does happen you know that you're just going to be a division one athlete in whatever sport you pick I reckon put her in the WWE if you can throw a stone you can throw like a woman off a ladder you know I'm going to see her versus Rhea Ripley that would be a [ __ ] matchup um all right so have you seen I've been obsessed with this the the Tesla cyber truck has come out and have you seen it what it looks like yes I remember when they first showed the images and I think this is a very like a very non-american thing I think that when you see trucks in America you kind of think of like a ute in Australia like a hux which is basically if for American listeners it's basically like a a a a really big Sedan like that's the size of it not the shape but the size like a very big sedan is our youut right uh but in America a truck is like I thought that truck was like a slang term that Americans used until I went to America and I was like oh no they literally drive trucks the size of the cars that you Americans Drive is unbelievable no wonder the traffic is so bad everyone's driving a [ __ ] bus vehicle it's I can't understand I don't know why you would want to drive something so big unless you go Offroad [ __ ] all the time even then none of our cars really look like that and we live in Australia where there's more much more off-road opportunities in much more of the country cuz most of our country is just an inhospitable desert so the Tesla cyber truck is it's the size of their trucks I didn't realize it was that big until I've started seeing pictures of it on the street um and basically it's come out and I I think it's really cool do you like it uh yeah it looks I I think it looks cool I think they're really it's getting a lot of [ __ ] A lot of people are calling an ugly I think it's one of the coolest cars I've ever seen I think it's so sick I think it's amazing that they're innovating on what a car should look like cuz I think all cars today they look exactly the same they're all the same they're all those weird boring curves and a lot of that I understand is due to safety regulations but [ __ ] man surely someone can come up with an idea for a car that isn't just like a a boring oval shape they all look the same except they've got a different badge you know even BMWs of uh like the shape of a BMW a really good $200,000 one it looks the same as like like a a secondhand car you can get for $7,000 that was from 2009 they look the same and they've looked the same for like two decades now I want to see some [ __ ] corners and interesting curves and Silhouettes not that I can drive a car but I would like to see them and also every car is the same color they're all silver or gray or sometimes black that's it you don't have colors in your cars anymore not like the 70s and ' 80s where everyone had an interesting car with a different shape and a different color although everyone in the 80s died in their car accidents so there is a bit of a tradeoff remember when I had a purple car great great example you had a purple car when's the last time you saw a purple car that wasn't driven by a drug dealer okay I want to see a purple car driven by a mom or or driving their mom's car given to them like kin was right that's what I want to see I want to see that [ __ ] but we're not going to it was a death trap yeah it really was it was not a safe car um but the Tesla right it's the construction of it is so interesting it's stainless steel a lot of it right so it's really [ __ ] heavy and it doesn't Flex right and uh it has all of these sharp like actually sharp Corners cuz the panels it's not like the panels of a car where you can mold it with stainless steel you have to stamp it so the only way to make these things they had to invent new car manufacturing technology and they basically make the car with [ __ ] and hammers they bend the stainless steel much further than it's supposed to go and then it snaps back into the shape that they want it to be that's how they make this car and so every every single Tesla is a little bit different because they can't do exact cutting and bending because they're using [ __ ] hammers they are industrial grade super scientifically built hammers but it's a [ __ ] Hammer banging a sheet of metal it's not going to be exact right so this thing is super super heavy it's made out of [ __ ] stainless steel how many people is this car going to [ __ ] annihilate on the road cuz that's the thing about these these newer really boring cars all of them uh they have crumple zones right where they they're made to smash in a way that absorbs the impact and protects the driver the Tesla cybertruck is going to like the other car is the crumple zone right the person driving the Tesla probably going to be fine whoever it hits or whoever hits them is completely [ __ ] it's over like that thing it's like it's like driving a steel brick it's a brick on Wheels that's unbelievably heavy and faster than a Porsche that's what it is it's going to Anni at anything that it hits and a lot of people are saying oh it doesn't need a crumple Zone because it has all of these other features like automatic breaking and the Tesla autopilot and all that other stuff and all those other safety features and all the cameras and that's true right but that only is that only protects the person driving the Tesla right this is what I'm seeing a lot of people talk about saying the Tesla doesn't need all of these other features and it doesn't need crumple zones and things like that because the Tesla is such a tank that the person inside it is going to be protected my counter argument to that is is that going to be how we design cars from now on when it comes to safety is we don't have to have a crumple Zone as long as we kill whoever we hit like that's the is that the safety philosophy is like as long as our car kills the other person if that's what every manufacturer does all of a sudden we've got a [ __ ] arms race and the safest car on the road will be the one that fires the laser at the other car before they crash and [ __ ] disintegrates them oh no it's totally fine like we're going to be we'll be fine in a car crash because I'm going to I'm going to kill the M of four and her whole family cuz I'm driving at a I'm driving a [ __ ] meat grinder my car has this special AI autod detecting car grinder on the front of it so if we get into a small accident it actually swallows the car and spit out a cube on the back for the paramedics to pick up and identify the bodies it saves the teeth for ID purposes is that how we design cars safely now I don't know that said [ __ ] it's such a cool looking car everyone who says it's ugly I cannot tell you how much I agree I disagree sorry oh well kind of agree it is an ugly car but that's what makes it so [ __ ] cool I love the hard edges of it I love that it's that it's like just just big panels and there's no curves on on it I don't know I just think that it's so unbelievably cool looking and I think it is going to kill so many people but it's going to win all of the insurance claims because none of these Tesla drivers will be at fault except for in the uh the uh increasingly common scenario where the autopilot sees like a mum crossing the road with a pram and it detects nothing go that seems to be happening a little bit and that and that when it's driving into direct sunlight it stops working it can't see yeah oh it's a bit sunny today perhaps we should [Music] [Laughter] accelerate yeah but it's man dude it looks cool how's this though I thought this when I was looking at it I watched like it was a 40-minute car review I watched like 5 minutes of it and then I I just had this thought and I just turned it off it's stainless steel panels right so how [ __ ] hot are they going to get in the sun yeah aren't they going to get really really really hot like you could touch like say it's like in Australia for example or in in Texas or whatever where in everyone will be buying it in Texas all all Joe Rogan's massive network of podcasters are all going to be riding around in cyber trucks crashing in what happens when two cyber trucks crash into each other mutually assur destruction they both [ __ ] delete from exist probably anyway I feel like car yeah they probably like Smash and bounce off each other and take out everyone in the in the vicinity they probably do a 50 rolls uh driven by the the [ __ ] autopilot into into schools um surely if it's like 35° or 40° or whatever all day outside you're going to burn yourself if you touch it yes right how hot does stay still get in the Sun how about this make remake the Tesla out of the same material that's uh on non-stick fry pans and you have like a portable fry pan Chuck a few eggs on top and then if you want your eggs you just accelerate a little bit the compartment in the roof opens and it lands in a bowl you got eggs while you drive that's [ __ ] science hire me Elon God he can build a car he can't [ __ ] run a Twitter you seen him freaking out did you see him talking about advertising on Twitter I think Elon Musk has no idea how the advertising business Works uh and I think a big re because you know what else Tesla has never put money into advertising so he's never really engaged in the advertising traditional advertising World very much even from like running a business perspective from what I know anyway I might be wrong but at this conference where he's he's on stage with this guy doing an interview about Twitter and the guy asks him about all of the advertisers that have been pulling out Disney pulled out all the really really big advertisers that are spending millions of dollars on the platform helping to keep it afloat have all pulled out because he tweeted out some stuff that was like arguably almost 99% quite anti-semitic even if that wasn't the intention it is what was said um oh sorry yeah quite anti-semitic right so all these people pull their ads and he basically came out and he did this big ho Free Speech Spiel of [ __ ] you you're all trying to boycott me and censor censor me [ __ ] you you can't do which is you know an admirable thing to say if those advertisers were pulling out for that reason they're not that's the reason that they're kind of giving that's like the straw that broke the camels back you know what's really wrong with Twitter's ads they don't make money they don't [ __ ] work the the platform does not work for advertisers you put money into it you can't Target certain demographics you can't get really really micro down into the exactly the type of customer that you want it doesn't work like the advertising that you put on Twitter does not work and it's also quite likely that when you put an ad on Twitter you're going to be next to like footage of children in war and and Incredibly racist [ __ ] and uh fight videos and Gore and all of this other horrific stuff that has gotten so much worse since uh Twitter became X that all these brands are just gone oh well we can actually literally see that the return on our investment is not working even just financially even if all of these other issues weren't uh a thing even if it was like the super popular website no controversy at all heavily moderated in a way that Brands would like not that they should do that uh they would still leave because they're not making money right on Facebook uh and Tik Tok and Instagram you can actually put a dollar in and you can see how much it gets you out like that's how good it is so you can see oh when I spend 10 bucks I made 30 bucks I'm going to spend a th000 so I'll make 30,000 you can see that on Twitter they don't have those tools it's so blind you put your money in and you don't know what the [ __ ] happening you don't know who's seeing it you don't know how well it is or is not working it's just a [ __ ] platform for ads and ELO mus come out and said yeah [ __ ] you you can't censor me which is kind of like kind of like me selling no tickets and being like oh they're trying to cancel me yeah no no they're not they're just not buying them a the mainstream media is trying to cancel me I say to an empty [Laughter] audience the bank is trying to cancel me because I'm too controversial nah B no you haven't paid your mortgage that's why patreon.com Spears not a joke help um maybe we'll talk about that later I'll Flo oh I'll floating the idea we might do some kind of live podcast I'm clutching at straws there might be a merch drop I'm going to figure out a bunch of things but what I'm focusing right now on is this yearly patreon thing that's the way to help me um [ __ ] I can do it I've I've overcome worse I got a new head now um all right Taylor Swift is the person of the year have you seen this she's Time magazine's person of the year that's really good she's right up there uh with other prestigious people such as Adolf Hitler um and then a few other BLS Elon Musk is there he's been there don't know I'll tell you I bet he has yeah all I know that's pretty funny all I know is that Taylor Swift uh and Adolf Hitler have both been Time Time magazine's person of the year I mean I guess that I feel like I guess that makes sense I mean that's going to make a lot of swifties happy but I feel like there like there would be probably more uh important people to put as times person of the year how about this they she could be times's most famous person of the year will do that but I don't know about like person of the year I can think of a few other people that might be more deserving of being it cuz yeah she's she's really good at being a pop star she's she's made a lot of money she's a she's a billionaire she can almost dance Adolf Hitler Joseph Stalin okay Joseph Stalin again oh okay all right see see this is good this is good stuff maybe Winston church again maybe this is foreshadowing she's going to be at the at the Forefront of a giant World shattering War she's going to send hundreds of thousands of teen boys to their death that is the way that this is going you know Taylor Swift is getting every single woman on her side and all of the songs are about how much boys have hurt them and pretty soon the Tide's going to turn like I'd say I'd say that we're very very lucky that she's dating Travis Kelce because that's the only thing keeping the boys alive at this point Henry Kissinger okay yeah see these are these are very important Ronald Ronald Reagan okay I'm not going to comment on the moral character of these time people of the year but they are very influential much more influential than Taylor Swift this is a really bad sign because I think a lot of these people who were time magazines person of the year at the time they were like yeah these guys are great like the Hitler ones funny because they were like he's not a bad guy he's kind of cool Osama Bin Laden he's been Time magazine's person of the year hasn't he was he no I'm thinking of the other terrorist who's that kid that [ __ ] blew up the the something didn't they make him person of the year I feel like a terrorist has def definely been person of the year fairly recently oh recently um George Bush yeah him that's I was thinking that was the terrorist George Bush uh no I swear there was a there was a kid who made a bomb Vladimir Putin okay this is not good for Taylor Swift is it Donal Trump Don okay not not looking good another another billionaire with a very uh supportive fan base um I swear th thumberg there we go another terrorist Time Magazine terrorist I'm thinking uh person of the year yeah I I maybe I'm thinking of a different magazine uh okay I I can't I won't be able to finish the episode Time Magazine person of year terrorist I swear that uh okay maybe not maybe I'm thinking of uh of of a different magazine I swear there was that kid Terrorist on cover of magazine controversy I swear here we go Rolling Stone that's who I was thinking of the Boston Bomber oh that's what I was thinking of this one this block they put him on the cover uh which you know is probably uh just slightly less bad than putting him as the time M person of the year all right okay well I'm glad we solved that mystery um yeah I don't know yeah she sells a lot of tickets and she she makes a lot of money and uh and she gave her truck drivers a nice bonus I don't get I don't I just don't I don't understand the the Taylor Swift obsession I you know what I don't get I understand people liking her I can't really fathom people getting obsessed over something that is so designed to attract a mainstream audience do you know what I mean it's like it's like to me that's like someone becoming incredibly obsessed with like the sandwich it's like Everyone likes it but you're not really supposed to love these things or or if you do you have autism you know maybe I'm just jealous cuz the only people who have I like her she's not she's she's the best in the world at what she does I just find it so interesting that like like say no one cared this much about Katie Perry Lady garga Madonna it's really interesting to me that that Taylor Swift seems to be like the first pop star who's like the the pop star of the Time Michael Jackson is kind of the only other one but to me Michael Jackson I wouldn't describe him as a mainstream artist like what he was doing was so [ __ ] unique and different for its time and even now there's been no music or or no live shows like it Taylor Swift is like phenomenal and amazing in what she does but what she does is be like a a pop star like a mainstream artist she makes a song you hear it on the radio it makes you feel good and it has a Snappy chorus and I think sorry yeah what do you think is the what what makes cuz what makes her stand out so much that not only that makes you go from I quite like her to holy [ __ ] I'm so obsessed that I'm going to dance in a movie cinema I think it's just Community Building from Tik Tok because everyone on Tik Tok is talking about it so you can feel involved same thing with Harry Styles he wasn't that big until people started posting clips from his concerts that's true and then he sold out 120,000 tickets in Melbourne and I went because I thought he was cool that's very true I didn't give a [ __ ] about Harry Styles at all but for a good three months there I was going I'm so good yeah that's true but now he's got he's lost his hair so you know I'm done with you you know that Woody meme dropping the toy I'm over I'm too old for you now there's all that just girl core stuff of your laptop's going to die oh good um yeah I guess you know what that is that is such an interesting thing where like uh I I guess Matt R is another example of of this like it's just Tik Tok where it's almost like in a in in some way uh because I've been doing this since 2012 Community has always always always been cultivated and built and controlled and owned by the artist whereas more recently like in the last 18 months Community is built by the community and controlled by the community to the point where it's it a lot of the times it's so far out of the artist's control that the community can [ __ ] turn on them and there's nothing you can do about it say like uh I say like 5 years ago if I really really really [ __ ] up and all of you guys turned on me I could turn my comment section off for 6 months and you guys have no voice to talk about how much you dislike me you could make a face Facebook post or you could post on your Instagram but it's not like going anywhere nothing's happening now when an artist [ __ ] up or disappoints uh or impresses and does something above and beyond some random teenage girl can post a Tik Tok about it and it can get 300,000 views and then five girls do that and now it has 1.2 million or I'm so [ __ ] [ __ ] at math what's that 1.5 1.5 million views right it's almost like communities are built and founded and managed and controlled outside of the artist hands and the artist can kind of influence it a little bit but it's completely out of their control yeah and that's yeah you're so right that's what's happened with Taylor Swift that's what's happened with Harry Styles uh I think she does a really good job at it as well the hype that's created around her uh potential album release is like my girlfriend loves this stuff there'll be she'll post a photo and there'll be three birds in the background and they'll go onto their little chat rooms I guess and they'll decide all the three songs of the three songs that she didn't release last time and it's three so that means it's coming out on the 3 of this month and the last song was this so that means 11th of November 2025 is when the next album comes out wow that's that's the kind of I posted something cpic like that people would would go what's that oh well you know like that's what fascinates me is is she hasn't told them to do that and she she didn't in she didn't to my knowledge she didn't invent that like she didn't post it once and go this is a secret thing that you should decode so that they knew that you would then do that every time she did it she didn't like invent that and tell them how to do it they just started doing it uh without her put at all and then she is almost following their lead and cultivating the behavior that she wants which is really really different to how it has worked for the last few years and how it works for still people who are just starting where you have to build it yourself and maintain the momentum yourself it's like if I don't post a video no one's talking about me really like no one's like when I took all that time off when I was sick I would get a few nice messages from fans who cared and from people who listened to the show show but only I would see that I feel like if she took some time off people would be talking she's taking time off where's she going what's she doing like she would almost get bigger and that's because yeah these communities that have been built and founded and created they don't exist anywhere it's just in the algorithm of Tik Tok I think it's the same reason why this new Grand Theft da six trailer has become the biggest video ever yeah because so many times the community have just decided that they think the new trailer is going to be released whenever they've worked it out and it never does yeah and now it's actually real yeah because for years and you and I have talked about this as long as I've known you it's like the new it's all the leaks look like it's going to be released next month yeah yeah and and this time it actually was released and it was actually released right after it was leaked yeah so this is the one mythical it's like the second coming of Jesus like the prophecy says when these criteria are fulfilled and it seems like that criteria has been fulfilled 10 times in a row but Jesus never showed up but this time Jesus showed up and he's [ __ ] walking on water and there are too many black people in the trailer according to other people not me um speaking of I wanted to say such a big thank you to everyone who is sharing the real talks that I've been doing uh by the time you're listening to this uh unless you support me on patreon cuz you get a early help uh by the time you're listening to this uh I would have released like four or five of them four of them I think uh and uh but when we were recording this I've only done two they've both hit over 100,000 which is [ __ ] crazy because when I was doing it 3 years ago I think 40,000 was like very good for me and I was I really stoked with that this time I was I was thinking oh yeah 20 to 30,000 will be great for me to start up with and start building with they've both hit 100 I can't [ __ ] believe it it's it's amazing thank you and you know what it is it's because people are sharing it in their group chats and putting it on their story I can literally see the the analytics are so much better than they used to be I can see how many shares it gets and when it's sitting on like you know 10 shares or whatever it's going okay and then all of a sudden it it gets 50 shares and the views like [ __ ] Spike and then Instagram puts it everywhere so uh if you you know want the [ __ ] if you enjoy the real talks and you want things to go well for me and everything you want to help out chuing it on the story or or even just sending it to one person is a really good signal to Instagram that people like this video we're going to put it in more feeds as people scroll through the reals tab which I can't remember did the reals tab exist when I was making real talk yeah uh no yes it did because real came out in 2020 during lockdown yeah yeah cuz when I was making them I was limited to 30 seconds Max which if you go and watch the old ones from 3 years ago I am talking so fast and a lot of them have giant if you watch and you try and pay attention for it you notice that I've just Chuck edited out like a good joke yes to keep it under 30 seconds which we did all the time oh we love this joke but we have to remove like the middle of the video because we need an intro and an outro so you get hello one joke bye now the first one I did was like 45 seconds the second one it was a minute 30 I'm going to keep them under 60 seconds if I can but if they have to be longer they can and uh it's uh I'm enjoying making them it's great so thank you to everyone who's like putting them on their stories and and and supporting me this has been like um obviously you guys know it's been like such a [ __ ] tough time for me but I feel like finally I'm well and I can create and enjoy it and do it properly and and it's working and that's why I'm like [ __ ] this thing's so frustrating because I don't have a money problem I have a time problem it's like [ __ ] if I could just skip forward you know in 6 months times all these problems that I have and all these worries that I have around money will be gone because I will have been doing shows and videos and all this kind of stuff it's like just this little Gap from now until April pretty much that I'm like I just need a little bit of extra help from you guys and I'll be all right so I think I'm I think I'm going to end it there I think that's that's going to be the show thank you very much for for listening and and watching and supporting what I do I I would absolutely love if you could jump over over to patreon right now and and uh and sign up to the yearly option um that would really really help me it's cheaper for you you get a free poster and a free T-shirt with it um and that doesn't cost me anything extra cuz they're just sitting in my garage so I'm happy to just to just do that I'll get your sizes when you sign up uh and I I'll sign all of the posters if you sign up to the the cheapest version you'll get one poster in a t-shirt you sign up to the middle version you'll get three posters uh and a T-shirt and I'll sign all of them and send them out to you as as quickly I as I can um and yeah maybe a good Christmas present buy it for somebody else uh it's uh I think I'll be all right I just need a little bit of extra help uh and I need to hustle so if you see me selling a bunch of stuff you guys know why all right thank you very much I hope you guys have a good week and thank you so much for helping me out and supporting uh what I do I'm almost through the other end I just need a bit of extra help so I'll talk to you guys next Sunday or right now on patreon have a [ __ ] one bye	Spearhead Sundays Podcast	UC3K33ddRqHhTORtl_Fc29tQ	2023-12-10	Creative Commons Attribution

R6-cCjR_4b8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6-cCjR_4b8	Michael Warriner, Native Bees in Texas and Grasslands Management	thank you so our remote isn't working so when you see my hand going up like this it's not a tick it's i'm directing the slides to be advanced um again so i'm michael warner and i'm the um supervisor of the non-gaming rare species program at texas parks and wildlife i used to be the invertebrate biologist so i have this kind of carried forward interest in insects particularly native bees and so when you when you talk about bees one of the biggest issues one of the biggest services that bees as a group provide is pollination it's a critical ecological service eighty percent of the flowering plants worldwide depend upon animals for cross pollination these flowering plants produce showy structures flowers of different shapes and colors and sizes to attract animals to them and besides the showy structures these plants also produce rewards in the form of nectar and pollen nectar is a liquid solution that contains sugars amino acids and other minerals pollen which is involved in fertilization is also a rich protein source for those animals that eat that most flowering plants are pollinated by insects and insects tend to be our most important agricultural pollinators so in terms of pollination you can kind of break it down into two different sectors agriculture which is most important for humans there are dozens upon dozens of different crops that require animal pollination for these crops to set fruit produce bible seed and so on oops i'm sorry could you go back just look at my left hand so agriculturally if you're just talking about u.s agriculture the value of insect or animal pollinated crops the u.s economy ranges from 10 to 20 billion dollars per year um then you have natural systems you have all those native flowering plants that are in the same boat they either have to be pollinated by an animal to produce viable seed or if they don't require it they may produce higher quality seed so again you have all those dozen different native plants out there in turn to entice seed dispersal these many of those flowering plants produce berries and other fruit types that other animals eat so you have mammals birds reptiles other insects feeding on all this wild food and so besides helping maintain the integrity of natural ecosystems it's also important for the food chain it's hard to put a dollar figure on that but if you think about from a human perspective how much goes into hunting bird watching nature watching that's probably easily in the hundreds of millions of dollars as well so if you've ever sit sat and watched flowers in a garden or in a prairie you've probably seen many different kinds of animals visiting flowers and they're going there for food primarily you have bees you have flies you have beetles but i like to make the differentiation between a flower visitor and a pollinator because there are some animals that come to flowers they drink the nectar they may eat some pollen but they don't pollinate they're visiting they're taking the food but they're not fulfilling the contract with the plant then you have pollinators that are actually in that mutualistic relationship where they're getting their reward and they're also effectively pollinating the plant so beetles are real common flower visitors they're not among the best pollinators if you think about their bodies their bodies tend to be hard and smooth not many hairs but beetles can pollinate then you have flies flash floods can actually be really important pollinators there tend to be somewhat hairy and they can move pollen around wasps visit flowers to drink nectar they're not among the top pollinators their bodies again are kind of smooth virtually hairless they don't move a lot of pollen butterflies and moist those can be pretty effective pollinators in some cases especially moths and those plants that are really adapted to pollination but if you had took all those at least insect groups and group to kind of rank them in terms of importance bees would kind of top out number one they tend to be the most efficient and effective pollinators for several reasons one they're among of all those other groups they're one of the few that purposefully collects pollen so butterflies wasps flies they're mainly there for nectar they're not really if they interact with pollen it's incidental these are purposefully collecting that pollen mainly females and they're taking that pollen back to the nest a lot of it's going to be destroyed eaten by their larvae that's the larvae's main protein source but bees are messy foragers and they tend to spread that pollen around as they go from flower to flower to flower bees are also very hairy and a lot of those hairs are specialized to carry lots of pollen so if you're looking to be up close you can see they have lots of hair on their bodies different places on the legs on the abdomen on the thorax and some of those hairs have little branches on them which increases the surface area for carrying pollen and so here's a leaf cutter bee that this leaf cutter b females carry the pollen and dips hairs under the abdomen so it's carrying all those dry pollen grains but again you can imagine as that leaf cutter being went from this flower to that flower a lot of those pollen grains are going to get brushed off get picked up by the plant then you have other bees this is the bumble bee they have very specialized structures bumble bees have this structure right here on the hind leg it's their pollen basket and as the bumblebee picks up pollen it mixes it with saliva and nectar and packs it onto that hind leg so bees another reason they're really good pollinators is they have some bees have this thing called floral constancy which means that certain individuals when they're out foraging they'll tend to specialize on maybe a particular plant species this is american basket flower so in this case with bumble bees you may have bumble bees that are foraging individually that may only be working the flowers of american basket flower that means that pollen from this basket flower is going to make it this has a high likelihood of making it to this individual and to that individual so that pollen is not wasted on other species you have other flower visitors maybe like butterflies that may be less more random they may go from basket flour to cone flower and those are two incompatible pollen types but these tend to have a certain fidelity for certain plants when they're foraging so in terms of bees in north america at least in terms of north america north of mexico we have 4 000 native bee species 30 b species have been introduced into north america north of mexico from other countries hard to know how many species are in texas a low estimate is 600 it could be up to 800 but we don't have that many people working on b distributions or b taxonomy we probably have lots of species that have yet to be described but when you talk about these you kind of have to dispel some of the notions that people have about these because most people when they think about bee the word bee they instantly think of the european honeybee also known as the western honeybee it's a social insect you know lives in a colony with a queen and all her daughter workers colonies can get really big 10 to 50 000 workers in size colonies queens can live for years they can the colony can persist for years they provision mass amounts of honey as a backup food supply new colonies formed through swarming long relationship with humans honeybees have been in domestication for about 45 hundred years first developed by the practice first developed by the ancient egyptians um and you know when it's not or it's non-native like here beekeepers are managing this animal pretty much as livestock it's i like this term it's called a semi-free ranging agricultural animal that kind of takes it out of natural systems where it really doesn't belong did we skip oh there it is okay yeah so again native range of the european honeybee is europe down to africa a little bit of western asia and you see all these different names here these are different subspecies so there are different subtypes of honeybees honeybees were first brought to north america in the early 1600s mainly it was subspecies from europe that were brought over then somebody or a group of folks wanted to get beekeeping going in brazil and they ultimately brought over this subspecies scutillata which is an african uh honeybee subspecies that interbred with european subspecies produced the africanized honeybee that then spread northward made it to texas in 1909. you probably heard lots of the media about honeybees declining honeybees are disappearing we're all going to starve there's a lot of hype about that this is a graph that shows the number of honey producing number of managed honeybee colonies in the u.s from back about 1945 based upon this annual usda census so the number of managed honeybee colonies in this country reached a high of about 5.9 million 1947 then you can see this steep decline well there's a lot of factors that are contributing to that a lot of them are economic and political one is that after world war ii there was a real decline in demand for domestic honey there's a lot of a lot of asian imports were coming in those driving down the price of honey in this country so honey bee keepers got out of business um canada banned the import of u.s honeybee stock in the 1980s due to the fact that the varroa mite a pest was introduced and then about the 1990s there was a suspension of federal pricing support for honeybees more people maybe got out of the business this big break that you see right there is the usda change their census methods and so this may indicate that they were overestimating the number of honeybees but again over the last 10 15 years the number of honeybee colonies in this country pretty much kind of stabilized around two two and a half million yeah but and also honey bees have other issues that are real honeybee kind of specific things and these have to do with the husbandry there are introduced external parasites like varroa mites there are diseases like deformed wing virus american foul brood and lots of other issues like starvation queen failure extreme weather events so all of those makes it hard to be a beekeeper because honeybees are getting harder to keep but a lot of people don't think about because kind of folks take honeybees for granted that they've always been here but honeybees can have impacts on natural ecosystems honeybee when it's introduced here was like a really new kind of bee for the u.s northward into canada there was no other bee like this there was no native honeybee in the us and canada colonies because they get so big they require lots of food up to 22 to 132 pounds of pollen per year 400 i'm sorry 44 to 330 pounds of honey uh per year which is again nectar um they have thousands of workers which most of our bees don't have that they have long flight distances they go up five miles away from the nest and potential negative impacts on natural ecosystems are that they might monopolize nectar and pollen resources which can reduce or suppress native bees it makes them harder makes it harder for the native bees to get the food they need and honeybees have also been shown to increase the seed set of certain non-native invasive plants i don't have time to talk about sleeper weeds but i can expand upon that later and then reduce the seed set of certain native plants not trying to assassinate the character of the hindu because that 18 that 20 billion that big figure that i mentioned for u.s agriculture three-quarters or more of that agricultural pollination is done by the honeybee it's our major primary agricultural pollinator and also honeybees may increase the seed set of some native plants where there may not be sufficient natural pollinators so they may fill pollination deficits but i kind of you know some people often bring up they want to place honeybee colonies and prairie because i mean there's lots of flowers there lots of food however honeybees really don't belong in systems that are managed for native biodiversity because they could one they could tinker with the plant composition and they may also reduce the native diversity of pollinators in an area so native bees four thousand native bees in north america north of mexico these tend to be the most important pollinators of native plants because they've been around those plants for hundreds of thousands of years or millions of years um better pollinators of some crops than the honeybee native bee pollination is valued at about three billion per year native bees tend to be better pollinators of things like tomatoes squashes some melons blueberries they're kind of broken into three six groups the apidi contained the bumblebees the carpenter bees honey bees longhorn bees and a few other groups then you have the helicode which is a large group plumes the sweat bees little wasp-like green bronzes bronzes metallic piece mega colony are the carter leaf cutter mason and resin bees and then these three last groups are pretty small the andrenity the mining these colletidy or the plasterers and the lindens are the real kind of the smallest group they just they call them the lids they don't get a special name so i mentioned that the honeybee was a really new bee species for the u.s and canada and that's because 90 of our native bees live solitary lives so you have these individual females they don't have they don't have any help from daughters or anybody else they're on their own they provision a nest they set it up all by themselves now because they do that they don't defend their nest sites because the risk of injury or death is too great if you think about honeybee colony the queen doesn't fly out to defend the nest her daughters go out her daughters are expendable she can produce more daughters she's the one that's important because she's laying the eggs um don't defend their nest like when you're talking about bees and wasps in general especially bees males are only involved in mating they don't help collect food they're not involved in really young okay over our solitary bees 70 percent nest in the ground you may come across aggregations like this that look like little ant hills bees flying over that that doesn't mean they're cooperating that just means that may be good real estate these native solitary bees that nest into the ground like open not very vegetated areas they get lots of sun that are well drained easily diggable females will spend the night in their burrows here's a good example this is in a black land prairie up near paris but this would be another kind of good example of native solitary bee nesting sites these open eroded areas that don't have much vegetation so 70 of our solitary bees nest in the ground the remaining 30 percent nest in existing cavities in dead plant material or they excavate their own cavities so here's a leaf cutter bee it's chewing a nest cavity into a giant cone flower and then you have a carpenter bee here chewing into dead wood some bees don't have strong enough mandibles to chew into dead plant material so they'll use pre-existing cavities like old beetle holes wood boring beetle holes and again because they're solitary these don't defend their nest sites example of habitat you know dead trees downed wood that sort of thing so majority vast majority of our native bees are solitary we have a few though that are truly social the best of the best known of those are the bumblebees uh bumblebees are live a life cycle similar to honeybees in that you have queen and all her daughter workers help do the work of the colony honeybee uh sorry bumble bees don't store honey they do however produce little honey pots or nectar pots a lot of wax where they store extra nectar as a backup if it's cold or raining and they can't go out and forage bumblebee queens only live one year honeybee cleans live multiple years so bumblebee colonies start up fresh every year bumblebees like to nest in holes in the ground or they'll nest in deep that's particularly in prairies they'll nest in deep thatched next to like clumps of big blue stem or a little blue stem with thatch just falling over bumblebees are generalists in that they'll visit hundreds of different plants for nectar and pollen and bumblebees are among the best uh most effective pollinators of milkweed you know milk weeds in fashion right now you know with all the news about monarchs and all that um you probably can't see this but there are a bunch of polenia from the milkweed attached to that bumblebee slick so bumblebees carpenter bees big robust bees like that are really good pollinators of milkweed several bumblebee species in the u.s north america have experienced really steep declines there's one species maybe more now that have been petitioned for federal listing and we have three species of conservation concern in texas so with native bees native bees tend to be open habitat specialists they don't like dark forest they like areas like this open sunny lots of herbaceous flowering plants lots of open places to nest and so this is a gamble goose prairie up near paris next to it is kind of a monoculture uh grassland uh hayfield or rangeland and so most of that prairie now most of that grassland is gone so this is a really good case study um bumblebee declines worldwide we're kind of first really noticed in the united kingdom and in europe 18 european species are now considered threatened um evidence of the north american decline was only really found about 2001 2003 around there um 11 species in the north and north america are thought to be of conservation concern this is one this is the american bumblebee and so this is kind of the model all the gray represents potential habitat or their potential range and then these circles represents a survey that was conducted to revisit historic localities where bumblebees have been collected in the past and so if it's yellow that means they did not find the american bumblebee if it's orange that means they found it and what proportion of the bubble bees they collected the american bearing american normal bee represented so you can see historically uh american bumble bees used to occur pretty much all across the eastern u.s but in this study they had their range had contracted from the northeast pretty much to the central us and they really remain only common along the gulf coast and into texas in fact this is the most frequently observed bumblebee that you'll see in texas so but this same pattern has occurred for several other bumblebee species besides habitat loss there's also some concerns about introduced diseases that may be causing decline and maybe the impacts of pesticides but in terms of bees in general and bees in texas this represents optimal habitat lots of different plants flowering herbaceous plants flowers that run from spring summer into fall and especially um some a lot of our native bees may have short activity periods as adults like they may like a mason bee may emerge in february it may only be active to may they need flowers during that period but you have bees like bumble bees that are active and foraging from early spring all the way through summer and into fall and so with the early spring that's when the queens are emerging and they're looking to build up their strength after hibernation to start nests then once you get into summer that's where the colony is growing they need lots of access to flowers and then towards the end of the season that's when the new queens appear that are going to prepare to hibernate and they're building up their fat reserves and so especially now that folks are thinking about monarchs and what we can do for monarchs one danger is getting fixated on monarchs coming through in the spring and then they're not hearing the rest of the summer and then they come back through the fall and so some people may think okay we're going to do something in the spring we're going to do something in the fall and that's going to help the monarchs however it holistically if you plan to have flowers through spring summer and fall you're also helped you're helping the monarch but you're also supporting the resident bees and butterflies and moths and beetles that live in that that are here in texas year round so in terms of like managing grasslands it all comes down pretty much to maintaining flowers and maintaining places to nest and so to maintain robust populations of high quality nectar pollen plants one thing is is to not apply a management practice to an entire site so in terms of prescribed burning um only burn say 30 to 50 of a particular plot in a given year so you burn half of it let's say the other half is left unburned that maintains the nesting sites that were there where bees are hibernating and it also leaves so prescribed burning burn from fall to spring kind of outside of the growing season that means you're not impacting the flower nesting sites avoid growing season burns and allow time between burns for fats to accumulate because that those sort that batch accumulation are going to be important sites for um bumble bees to nest then in terms of like haying and mowing again the same sort of thing don't pay an entire field in one season if you can't uh restrict fall and winter don't cut when flowers are in bloom sometimes that's not some folks aren't able to do that so if you can't do that in the growing season maybe cut in strips leave some flowers available avoid cutting too low and don't cut more than once per year then grazing low intensity short duration during the dormant season tends to be the best has the least impact on native pollinators but again for all of those it's just treating a portion of a site half of the site 30 percent and leaving some untreated refugia because we have 600 plus native bees in texas 4 000 in north america north of mexico they can be sometimes they're hard to identify as a bee they may look like a wasp or a fly but since we have technology most people have smart phones they can take pictures we have established a project through the website i naturalist how many folks have used high natural skin here okay so a naturalist is a site where you can upload images of pretty much any kind of animal plant lichen fungus that you see and there's a community of folks that help to identify it we have a project called bees and wasps of texas where folks can take images of the things that they see upload it naturally you can either do that on your desktop your laptop or there's an inaturalist app you can just take a picture and it uploads it to the site um i just wanted to put a plug in for that because it's a really good resource for identifying not only bees and wasps but lots of other animals plants i know it's kind of fast i was trying to get us he was on schedule but i'm gonna stop there and um answer any about a hundred miles questions of here and um i didn't notice that all my honeybees just went they were gone um about april or may um i don't seem to have a lot of other bees you know i um are these just ambient honey bees i'm sorry do you keep honey bees are these just animals oh you have any flowers around your house i have a bunch of i had a bunch of spider wart um yeah doesn't sound like there's many resources for native bees because native bees really won't come to hummingbird feeders yeah and i'm just wondering if the native bees will take up where the honeybees left off if you know if i've got vegetables i'm trying to grow vegetables well if there's not flowers there you know it's there's got to be something to attract them so you might want to if you like next year you might like whatever vegetables you're growing you might want to plant other flowering plants that might be attractive and that way you're you're enticing them to maybe also visit your vegetables and then along with that condos which you need to do that for you right yeah you can also yeah in terms of like your some of your native bees may be ones that nest in dead wood and they just don't have a place to nest so you have to wait oh okay um so is there any scientific evidence not that i don't buy this but is there scientific evidence that a high diversity of native bees matters to pollination services so for instance is there a person do we know a percentage of plants that is dependent on native bees as pollinators correct you know in terms i guess i think of it this way so majority of our fine plants have to have an animal pollinator in general the most effective natural pollinator nate as a animal pollinator is a vegan there's a lot of redundancy in pollination so you may have like 24 different animals visiting a particular flower and they all can pollinate it maybe a beetle or a bee or a fly but that's why that's why i mainly concentrate on native bees because that kind of boils it down because when folks think about oh i want to do something for butterflies that's nice but if you really want to have an ecological bang for your buck native bees is kind of like they're the work force they're like the primary pollinators and so um you have lots of native bees that are generous they make this like bubble bees visit hundreds of different plants but you may have a smaller percentage of your native plants that only depend upon a particular bee or a particular small number i don't know that's i don't know if i answered the question um but in terms of statistics i'm not familiar with hey i don't have a specific stat but i think that what you said is right on the money that most flowers are pollinated by generalists however some flowers are going to be pollinated by specialists for example things like tomatoes honeybees are totally unable to pollinate tomatoes and then there are other native bees that are for squash native bees are much more efficient typically squash are 100 pollinated by native bees before the honeybees have even left their hive in the morning so they're um there are some there are some flowers for sure and some vegetables for sure that your native bees are going to be more effective pollinators but again like what you were saying generalists do the bulk of the work and whether that generalist is a bumblebee or honey you know i don't know if that helps like native bumblebees and prairie habitat has maintaining biodiversity whereas a lot of people think of pollinators for crops like large-scale agricultural crops which that's why they bring honey bees versus the native beef so it's almost like comparing apples to oranges i think because you wouldn't expect like native bumblebees large-scale pollinate a corn crop or something right that's why we don't have a lot of data i'm sorry less a question more comment uh out on the katy prairie conservancy lands in july of 14 i noticed a large number of bombas pennsylvania because the american bubble bee that's the good news bad news is we've got a lot of uh brazilian burbane which is an invasive exotic and they were all going to the brazilian bourbon to nectar yeah yeah that's the danger of a generalist so yeah so that may be a case where you have and there's probably other cases of native bees increasing the seed set of non-native plants we learned some years ago about the negative impact of ddt on insects and drugs as you look at sort of what's happening in the arena of pesticide production now are there some that are that are considerable threats that we're seeing that are quite potent with respect to the deleterious impact are are you seeing some promising trends with respect to the design of pesticides that are less likely to have these harmful side consequences the ones that are in the biggest in the news at least over the last five years are the neonictinoids which is a systemic pesticide that you know once it's on the plant it kind of goes throughout it can be expressed in the nectar and pollen there are several different types of neonicotinoids and they're used in agriculture also used in home products and there's been a lot of concern about the direct mortality of things like bees and butterflies to neonictonoids or maybe sub-lethal effects where they don't die but they're impaired and they can't do function the way they want to um i think did europe ban the endiconoids for two years yeah and so that's kind of come up with the epa there's a lot of research that kind of goes back one way or the other um you know certainly and i think one of the biggest concerns is of the iniquitoids neonictin noise is with the home use to home landscape use because they tend to be overused in those settings the less is the more is more sort of thing where i'm going to really use a lot it's going to kill a lot so yeah neonicotinoids are still a big deal and still being looked at those tend to be the biggest pesticides all right thank you	Prairie

Daniel Dubois v Richard Lartey full fight	protect yourself at all times touch gloves too big man in there Richard laughs see who looks every one of his 27 years with one defeats in his 15 fights was a late arrival er problems with his visa before getting in it's probably cuz they date the birth six thousand small proudiy Saunders here goes is WG are going to get another spectacular quick victory party we've heard has got a decent Brighton but County take a shot where he came Alden escape and he lived right and out of Ryan they're lousy uncollected Dubois just gives us a little bit of ground will happen therefore the body came and a nice long right hand just backed up that a little bit they got a little carried away this shot the way classy one whose dad exchanging wild punches like that Andrew this is a lottery the hugely experienced Kevin Johnson the one man who's taken Daniel do birth the distance twenty one-year-old [Music] that's good there froggy bothers using their legs they're scoring just getting out of distance an important to take anything back after you saw his one loss was the only time that he's fought outside Africa muster in Switzerland to honor a good messed in fifth round retirement defeat Pilate Du Bois coming into the this on the back of that very impressive win against as van cosier new at the Royal Albert Hall we've taken Nathan Gorman the distance to were accounted for in five minutes 48 seconds was good really good performance effort the BIOS him improving every fight I think the transfer was important thinking you could use a guy who's had to hit clean fresh straight with him and it didn't think we probably know more and then on the other throw our teams had so far Joe Joyce an interested observer on the far side of the ring from where we commentating he won't miss a shot here possibility that he's gonna be fighting down you du Bois Commonwealth champion joist an Olympic silver medalist the right idea therefore do you buy the good event look we lower the left hand thing wasn't below the waist was the right idea just to skip down to the body just back in those hands are not retired ducking low and the heads clashing as he went to threes not going to stand for Lottie dragging his man on I don't think we were a little bit more measured than earlier position he was out there just below the sea one was coming back for art if you can miss a married man father of twins in Ghana brothers and sisters they'll be watching closely [Applause] suckage in all winners [Music] what did he damage this gentleman's rebirth being spoken to by smarties bowers clearly are they have some terrific success but maybe just got a bit too carried away we just did the right thing through a combination just took another half a step four seconds happy opposed to earlier in the fight when you're on the run when he did sort of Russia's work after landing that the good wall tap to do bar doing enough though to tell us that opening round into the second just soften up with the jab just keep pumping out jab O's opens without to be an open no no snap led to be a real concussive sharp is a real heavy job and I think it drains the energy [Music] they're speeding that job there from the bra [Applause] Marty trying to bravely fight back swinging away dude was he came in super daddy leaning for a day just trying can get your arms free just look the equip yet because through the middle this is pushing you back even volunteered to move back to issue getting a little bit of space to get that uppercut into play Bob Williams is going to speak chirp yep get him in that vice-like grip is not going to be allowed and it's not for the first time the report for the battleship is composing here now he's claiming time referee is going to give him time to recover as well I thought was actually on my leg but obviously real time with the white over there we left took there's an accidental one and he'll be given time and rather high-profile fights last week which of this switch blade its parts it was low but he's ready to continue right hand over the top just click Du Bois he fancies it with that right hand Marty that's his danger punch [Music] yeah nice one with that right on just you boy fell forward with the best show on that right and they get me then just paint his body let the Souper over there the front knee no turning the waist when the days are shorter and that's hurting and lot see now he's wanting to cover up he ever cared about shakes his head it do pass muster to say you've got to find a little bit more good washes okay a bit of this one of these you do there with demands just take it up take a little quarter step to the side and get that upper cut off on the chin being like over the front foot there lastly just covering up keeping his gloves up and preps waiting waiting for another opportunity to unleash that right hook well another round for Jaguar but there's a moment there where he was clipped by a solid right anteriors with his coach Martin Bowers [Music] once again sir the action from the second round was a powerful body shots everyone this disgusting bug spray just fell in and it's up to take that right after it's surprise God that he took me quite a while oh I thought that needs to be fairly get the right thing you take a few steps back which is to compose himself get that left hand a little bit higher when it comes back third round both round so far it's clearly to Dubois I'd like to see the bad news when he throws a jab just take a little step with the back foot to the right rather than go around to your left like you normally would well now it feels that jab there that again before I write down over the top or the top of the left hand just jabs he got a step of the ripen until they're right out keep away from me vote on these robbers shot edit that he boasts about it I got very excited about that left hook counter but Dubai got his gloves up as he did there to carry and block the low bench first I've got the time Williams trying to get the gist of pops their way out of it and lousy falls in to do I felt the weight of that [Music] [Applause] to follow though it's you say everybody you throw advocate he's going to take a point away from ever think if he doesn't like go he's warned at once [Applause] million to touch witness me the seconds in which he composed and safe for the theremin opportunity to mount that but firstly for the look like he was in trouble you covered in ela but why do badness is paying its Gambon and like that but you gotta keep it nice and loud anxious moments therefore Daniel - while people might say for the first time in his professional career Lancey coming at him firing back and really putting T 1 this impression killjoys watching on on the far side of the Ring the chubby daddy for his thoughts believethey Manitoba's hope yellow do bad things in the better go or two clearly just covering up waiting at the top stuck his tongue out [Applause] I think dummy was going to get too fazed by that each other they met on the branch go make sure to come to pipe brings it back well whatever else happened in that erratic exchange in the early stages was pretty extraordinary [Music] Tigers buddy coming fight let's once you get very subtly right down he worked on the top of the head did he fail if you do bad was fixed with James be heard I think he just troops are for balance that was wearing large it comes back with this to me as a nipple they're both showing good Chin's round for all three so far to do one thing so things you couldn't do the much better about the true flash bugs are dangerously low dramas but the Badgers takes the time [Applause] Spike's Wiggy he's got some guts a and she did what the devotee cannot happen step back you made that a Miss and that's what it needs to do them just take another step back then - and then you throw back again look good mix in the desert I know ghanaian has ever held a Commonwealth heavyweight champion championship you've been looking for Barry [Applause] daddy jabs no takes a step for the right look at the gap there for the right sound [Applause] move our right foot over smarty has that raw look about everybody also has a little bit of danger about it close up shop like that and walk over to your advantage as well blocking it through Pete's abroad time his loads he gonna get up he's bravely trying to get to eat it's [Applause] Ljuba did the business and he just caught in a Z 2 square I think as well and they've got no resistance against the shot that's all and some fantastically real heavy punch there from the back he took a few risk than I dared aware who Campbell Don his power that means baddies and came out on top of that sometimes many but really well really intelligent no really controlled and another part he just sort of took a real gamble he really uncorked a huge right hand though to put Marty down Danu Jabbar winning once again for the 11th time and for the 10th time inside the distance maybe took a few more shots and one or two might like to see but as people say you don't get into the pond without getting your toes wet but also I think he showed the decent chin had BK took a few shots but what he also showed as well is that he can be hit he can be knocked back and it can be in written though that's what I'm feeling so if I wonder for one last and that's that's what you want to see in the head of division there's the right hand that's what did it it was as Lottie was trying to unload himself and he caught him as Barry said square bang and down he went there's no resistance when you're caught like out on your heels and I do also think the accumulation of shots as well he taking some heavy punches and I think it just it was just a little bit of wear and tear some pretty shallow right on her foot at now right hand right on the butt it's a great shot Jana throw his own looping right hand at the same time dupois beaten to the punch spectacular but again though that the wagons do not go which is fantastic in a situation when he was gambling again this is a kid I think out of a little bit of a a risk factor but we like to take a look there is like the gambler because he was doing well just keeping it at range moving it out but he wanted to engage I think he enjoys the battle well he's so heavy-handed and he also took one or two tonight's and there'll be those who say who have said you know we want to seem under pressure we want to see him clips well he was he wasn't the to choose to be watching listening and I hope he does that with me oh we've never thought we would but I mean I think he'd be fear what laughs wanted get it get caught in a firefight because of machines throwing himself at Neil Neil the camera on his power over his and that's what makes our fight fascinating because it literally is who's going to take their biggest gamble and who's the bigger punch another to well it's a British title fights which is going to happen at some point somewhere down the line whether it will be immediately or later in the year well we wait to see on that one meanwhile Richard Marty still getting a little bit of treatment in his corner and he is furious that the fight has been stopped he's shouting and shouting to those around him saying it was wrong that it was stopped but frankly I suspect that he doesn't quite know exactly what happened and the referee was absolutely right he wasn't shouting straight out there was he but he first got up a little bit confused it with days and he take that I think revenues probably taken some heavy shots and I think he wasn't rather than just a really really good shot but she wasn't it was accumulation of punches in the last few rounds which is wearing it where it's it it's not too long back that Bob Williams was the referee who was criticized roundly for allowing a fight to go on too long this time for me he got it right ended it at the right time and Du Bois gets the spectacular win and here now comes Thomas Schreiber to give the formal announcement Lisa gentlemen here is the official time one minute 50 seconds of round number four your winner by count-out and now the WBO global heavyweight champion Triple D Daniel dynamite - poor situations we have in heavyweight boxing in Britain at the moment and Daniel du

ZwWVjBzGLBw	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwWVjBzGLBw	Dearmouring is a Lifestyle	All right? So take off. Welcome everyone. Welcome again, thank you for engaging. Thank you for being here with us and exploring these juicy topics with us. So, uh, my name is Susanna and I'm here with Mattias Schwan. And yes, And we are the trio of Dearing Arts. And we love, or I can speak for myself, but a little bit for them, we love to explore life and we kind of have a sport as personal development is kind of, of a sport. So I would like to start with, why don't you, Dion, just take a minute to introduce yourself briefly. Okay. So, uh, I'm Dan and, um, introduction. So I guess because I've been celibate now for technically six years, but actually if we take the year and a half of every six months having a little bang, bang with Ana, then it's actually almost eight years. That is eight years ago. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So this is actually, this is why this topic kind of got nah, popularity in a school because people are kind of asking me why the fk you're doing it, including son and Matt. So, um, and I don't really know what to say in terms of introductions, but, um, I think this is enough for now. And as the conversation carries on, if there are any more questions, I'm super open to, to share, to talk. Hmm. Over to you guys, Matt? Yeah. Okay. So, um, I'm into Tantra sexuality since 1997 or so. I had a tantric awakening in 2000, something like that, and have, um, played and explored around in, uh, Berlin. That was my playground, kit Kat Club, nightlight scene, and, uh, kind of sex positive environment. I have been married, I have children. I have been in monograms, uh, uh, situation. I've been in polyamory. I've been kind of celibate by accident or by fk up. And, uh, so I've been very interested in all themes around sexuality my entire life. So I've been a facilitator of tantra and, uh, uh, psycho sexuality. I've, uh, I'm a facilitator with DN and Ana about, uh, sexual de armoring. I was a body worker for almost 10 years. I'm still doing it here and there. And, um, I'm really curious about everything that has to do with sexual transformation, with sexual energy, and I would not call it tantra anymore, but I would call it kind of, uh, transformative, uh, uh, energy about our sexuality. And I'm really excited about being here today. Yay. And you, Ana. Thank you, Matt. So, my name is Susanna. Some of you know me as Sana previous Ana Santo, formally Sana Sanita. Now I go under Susanna Beatriz. And, um, I would say I am extremely curious. I, um, I've been on a path of spiritual and personal development for about 25 years. Started early, always had this calling in my heart for something different in society. Uh, and different roads led me to start exploring sexuality. Consciously, I've always been kind of curious and sexually open. Um, but about 13 years ago, I came across the armoring and started to explore the tantric path more consciously, just to discover that I've been tantric my whole life, basically, when it comes more to the energetic principles. Yeah. Um, but I dove into the realm of sexual healing, sexual disarming, tantra, polyamory, uh, and, uh, so I've been on a ride for that the past 13 years. Um, I totally, I write the book on money, sex and power, because I think sexuality is a topic that is super important to lift up. And because it's such a, you know, potent, fascinating field that is so distorted in many ways. And I think it's important that we have, you know, even more open dialogues and conversations. So we just relax a little bit more around the topic. Right. Um, what else to say? Basically, I'm super open. I've tried polyamorous, I polyamory, I've tried, I I love monogamous relationships. I've been celibacy, and, uh, I will talk more about it. Yeah. So I'm happy to be here. Happy to be here, and happy to answer your questions or dialogue, whatever comes up. Yeah. Sorry. Just love that you brought it up. You know, this tree, I just gonna say that. So Deanne and I, Matt and I, we met like 10, 11 years ago, and I was, Matt was one of my first, uh, teachers actually in, in, uh, sexual healing work. And I was so turned on by Matt by then, which we were never lovers. He'd been like the best, uh, best teacher ever. He transformed my life massively. I'm not gonna go into this a different story, but later on I met Deanne and Deanne and I was lovers, uh, yeah. Eight years ago, seven years ago. And then I become partner with Matt. And now we have this beautiful friendship, like a deep bond of love between us and we work together. That's really, really lovely. You know, some people would, are never friends with their, with their partners, you know, there is this like, bye, you know, they don't meet still. And I'm just so happy that we have this beautiful bond of friendship and love between us and our relations just keeps on involving. Yeah. That's, there's no, we're not defined really By, by saying that the three of us working together, the sexual thing is out of the way. And that's so liberating. Yeah. For me, by default. So, so to come back to my question, um, so, and Mirabel was coming up with this question the last, uh, webinar about, uh, the benefits between, or the benefits of celibacy and, uh, sexual freedom and, uh, uh, and the webinar got formed around this name. And, uh, so we want to dive deeper into that, about this topic, kind of, uh, what is celibacy for you is celibacy, you're just like completely away from sexual energy at all, or does celibacy means you don't have sexual encounter with other people, and sexual freedom means that you are with other people? Or does it mean that you are fk around or you just have a lot of intercourse, or you just totally everything, or you just like, um, monogamy and, um, committed to one person? So, so the distinction between celibacy and sexual freedom, um, I would like you maybe Deanne to start defining them from your perspective. Okay. So actually when I was reading all the messages and all the, uh, even you two actually about the reasons for celibate, we still, nobody actually touched the one that is my reason. So the reason I'm celibate is because I'm on this path of, uh, self-mastery, if you like. And, uh, about eight years ago, my teacher told me in working with me, that actually I was super promiscuous prior to that, like, polyamory, like all of it, years and years of just everything. But I didn't know how to manage the emotional and relating dynamics between me and people. Somehow I didn't, there was layers and layers of it. One layer was being hurt by women a lot, like from karmic and, and this life. So there was a lot of mistrust towards women in the first place. Then there was a layer of, I was explosively sexually compulsively active. And so I just wanted to fk everything that moved or flirt with everything that moved or be sexually open to everything that moved. But what that did, and I did, this is what I didn't actually get, and this eventually became a reason why I had to go celibate while I'm still celibate, is that every one of those openings where my second chakra didn't know its boundary, second chakra is to do with relating it's relationships. It's me and my potential partners that many other things as well. But it essentially, when it comes to, to, uh, topic of celibacy, that's the second chakra domain. So what it created was layers and layers and layers of women being hooked into my energetic body and me being hooked into them. Most of it was unconscious, but that still doesn't stop it. And so the result of it was that my hip area, my whole pelvic floor, in fact, not just pelvic floor, the whole hip area was physically tight, physically hot. And I was unable to relax it. Like, I was never like, you know, if I, if you have a fist like this, I can do this in my whole kind of pelvic area. It was always like this and I couldn't relax it. Like no matter what I tried, it was always tight. And so then, because on this path that I'm on, it came a point of like, everything has to be relaxed and worked through and, and transmuted and transformed and, and softened. So the energy can go up and down easily. And so this is where my teacher said, look man, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but there are countless women hooked into second chakra. And and unless you stop engaging, you cannot clear it, and we need to clear it. So for me, it was choosing either path to God, which meant saying no to relating, or it was doing what I was doing, enjoy life and say goodbye to my path, and that I wasn't prepared to do. So then I started, and initially I asked her, how long is it gonna take? I was thinking like, maybe two weeks, three weeks, you know, then I can go and play again. And she was like, well, I know one guy that did it in eight years, one did in 14 years, so I don't know how long it's gonna take you. I was, oh fk. Whew. But because I'm so committed to my path and because I was so promiscuous before, honestly, another py couldn't fix me, like another fk is just not gonna do it. It's not gonna save me. Like I can, I f*d enough. And I didn't get enlightened and I didn't become a master. So it didn't make me happy. It didn't work through this, this ball of fire. And if, like, my hips felt like they were stretched to every direction, continually 24 7 nonstop, I was like pulled like, just like on a cross from every direction. And I, I didn't know how to relax, so I had to stop. And so what started happening? Can I, can I ask you a personal question? Let me just roll. Let me just roll. You're gonna have to hold it. I'm gonna roll. Okay. And so what started happening as months went by, after about six months, I started feeling more relaxation. Like this was happening easier, but still was not done. And basically now, almost eight years later, I'm still not fully open, but I'm much, much more relaxed, way more way more able to, to do this stuff with my whole hip area, all the muscles that are connected to it. So, okay. Matt, go on then. Yeah, I mean, it's an, it's an interesting question. I mean, you know, many people know at the moment I'm really interested in kind of creating video material and just like collecting different topics and ideas. And one of them is, for example, the no fab theme. So some of you might know, know, fab is the kind of extension of fab, and fab is just like masturbating, e*****g to porn. And no fab means people getting off porn and the addiction of e*****n to porn. And I, I, I was wondering specifically in celibacy and as well in this topic, celibacy and sexual freedom, freedom, but in celibacy, um, uh, what are you doing with your sexual energy? So, so I know that you just, uh, release here and there to just like get your semen going or get, or, or your, your fluid out. But so, so how do you individually engage with your own personal, sexual, sexual energy? So the question comes from that direction, specifically in No Fab that people say, well, this, this completely abstinence of not only porn as well, of fantasizing as well, of kind of turning myself on and touching myself and self-pleasuring. And I have a complete different approach to that, but towards you and what might other people interested in, in celibacy. So what are you doing with your sexual energy as a life force energy instead of kind of pushing it down? So how do you keep it alive and as an engaging vibration in your body? So there's a broad question, and I need to narrow it down a little bit. So, first of all, I was never, I never had a problem with, uh, porn or addiction. I basically, I just went out and, and fd. So my drive didn't stop and still active. But what I found is, first, I can't remember how many months, but months and months, I didn't come at all because I thought, you know, celebr glasses, I'm not gonna come. What I started feeling is in my right leg between my groin and the, and the knee on the inside of the right leg, I started feeling the sensation, like water trickling feeling. I mean, obviously there wasn't water inside my leg. And it kind of felt like, like you could get a fk, like wrong, really, really wrong feeling. And I didn't know what it was. And then I had, uh, Suzanne Kart actually gave me a a, um, uh, and on the armoring we were looking at her like, what, what's really going on? And she said, listen, your prostate is really enlarged and you should go and check it out. And I thought, wow, I know why, because I didn't come. And so then I started masturbating just purely for the purpose of releasing the pressure, not really fantasizing, not really being interested in, because I wasn't, I was like focused on my path. This was just energetically, physically almost. I had to deal with this sensation in my leg. And then initially I had to do it, I dunno how many times, but quite a few. And then the sensation stopped and I thought, okay, this, this kind of fixed it. And then I would gauge it. And at first it was like, maybe like once a month, if I didn't m******e, I would start feeling, after a while after like a month, I would start feeling this feeling again in the leg. And I thought, ha, I know what to do. So I went and, and, and then it stopped. And so now it really depends, honestly. Of course I get horny, of course, like springtime and summertime I get super horny. And then it's more times than, it's like a few times a week. But sometimes in the winter can be like a few times a month. But for me it's completely disconnected. It's got nothing to do with sexuality. Yeah. It's like I'm going past now, the so many years that I've really, now I'm just looking at the mechanics and dynamics of my internal energy system. So that's one answer. The other answer we were talking about the cultivating sexual energy or, or how do I deal with that? And this, I actually don't have a problem because I have so much fire, so much energy in the body anyway. I never, I, I didn't ever have to cultivate my sexual energy because it was depleting. I always have plenty. So now I just have plenty. I do, I, so balancing testosterone, this is super important topic. And so this is where this thing comes into play. So for me, I need to be creative. So I need to use the energy in creative way. I need to do sport. I find that if I don't do sport, I kite, I kite a lot. And if I don't kite or if I don't do sport, then I start, my body starts getting too fidgety. I dunno. Just not, I can feel them out of seeing, out of, I cannot be present. So for me, it's a combination of creativity. Creativity can be in many different ways. Uh, I can also create my house. I can be a daddy, which I am. Uh, I can create my business. I can, uh, just do crazy things, but sport also I need to do. So it's managing the testosterone, managing the sperm count, and, and that feeling in a, in a, in the leg, in a, in a prostate. And, and then Sana also knows when I started the journey, I had to be like, get the fk outta me. Like all the women like get the fk out. Like quite forcefully, because I didn't know how to be with, 'cause I was so used to engaging, so used to being kind of fully active. And I didn't know how to be with like, if she would come close to me or somebody would come close to me, I just didn't know how to be with it. So I had to be forcefully out for a few years. But recently I kind of found a way, now they can be in my face horny as they want. And it doesn't fa face me. I don't really have to, somebody has their time. Microphone. Yeah. A beg. Pardon? No, it's me. It's raining. No, it's rain. Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's super raining. So, um, now I find this way of I can just be, I know I'm not gonna engage. It doesn't phase me sometimes. Recently, I started thinking recently, I mean like over the last maybe few months, I cannot think like that. I'm like, oh my God. Like I wouldn't know how to do it anymore. Like, I've forgotten I need to start going back to school. And like when I start getting sexually active again, maybe, I dunno, reeducate myself on how to do it, you know? 'cause it's been so long. Even have in vagina, ah, that's how I do it. Anyway, so I think that's enough talking. It's a, it was a very, very long answer. I'm open to questions, but, uh, I'm, I'm passing the torch. You have anything Sana? Oh, uh, what it means for me with celibacy or section? I have a question. There was a question. Dale, I have a question for you. Sorry, who is talking? Marco? It's me, Marco. Hey. Hey. Hi. Um, my question is by, um, being on this long path of, of celibacy, did your need for intimacy also disappeared? Define intimacy, Um, closeness with a, a loved one, physical contact, skin hunger? No, I never had, no, I don't have that. The thing is that because I'm on this path, I'm intimate with myself. And because I work with people, I, I have many tools that help me get in touch with myself on an intimate level and to feel myself deeply, essentially through, through skim through, uh, sensitivity. So I don't actually, I dunno, like with my daughter, we are very touchy feely. And, uh, it's, but still it's, I don't have that need. I'm kind of built maybe in a way that I don't really need that because I know some people need it, some people don't, or not as much. So at the moment, or at least for the last few years, I don't really have that, um, craving if you like or need. No, Yeah. So my question to you individually, as on a personal level is we have been engaging and relating and being sexual partners and, and kind of, you know, my take on as a man, kind of the, uh, goalless goalless sexuality, and, um, and this is something that is really an interesting, important topic specifically for, for women. Um, and as well from my perspective, that I, as a man, I just like try to cultivate my sexual energy. That means if I climax in the form of a peak orgasm, I know that I deplete my energy and I'm just like kind of going, you know, I'm probably e*****n celibate, but when it comes to sexual energy, I'm in, I'm in sexual freedom. But I know that you and women have a different approach about orgasm or climaxing or orgasmic waves or orgasmic freedom or ex ex orgasmic expansion from a perspective of, of, um, yeah, your natural expression with your sexual energy. And I'm curious about how you feel and think and how around that as a woman. Mm. Actually, I'm just gonna start in another corner. Uh, to start every corner. And it kind, I've been contemplating since we decided to set up this webinar that's like, it's the topic being kind of alive in my, in my, uh, in my awareness in my system. And, and I've been, uh, thinking about going into celibacy just like six months or eight months, something, because I really wanna dedicate and focus all my energy into building a fundamental in my business for the moment. So there is some visions I want follow. And then I noticed that, you know, Lakey, I've been flirting a little bit. I've been on some dating sites trying that, and I've been there and I mean, my energy being out, and I realized how much energy it takes, you know, so it really is a distraction. Yeah. And it, it actually is also not the priority for me. Like, I, I love my little bit like Dion. Like I'm so dedicated to my path and my purpose and, and, uh, and, um, so for that, I actually considered to go into celibacy for the moment. Just what happens if I just consciously put the blinders on. So it, it's a conscious choice, not by default or not by my accident. Like lately, I have not been so sexually active with others. It's been like a, it happened to me. It was not by choice, but I was like, okay, but then my energy is still out there. So actually now I feel like, okay, I just wanna go, you know, fully into myself. Yeah. Uh, so it's interesting to explore that. But when it comes to, to, to sexual energy, and for me, that is life force. You know, for me it's, when I cultivate my sexual energy and the arousal, I become a better person. Like, I become a better woman. I become more happy, I become more creative. I, it feels wonderful to be myself. Like, it feels wonderful to be me because it's this like buzzy champagney feeling in my body. So I, I, um, I also, uh, exercise a lot. I do a lot of breath work. I, uh, I meditate and go kind of deep into my energy field. And I really like, it's, it's like cost me crack for me. I love that word. And, and to just talk into what you said, like the, the, the like goalless sex. I, I totally agree to that. Uh, that for me, it's, um, and the goal is not to come basically like I feel, I feel I don't get so depleted sometimes. I'm just lazy and I have like a clitoris orgasm and, and then sometimes I kinda work my body much more. It's a bit different. I don't get, I don't get depleted. Really what I notice is that my, my butt cheeks gets tighter. And then doing yoga is more difficult. That makes me don't wanna do it because like, the, the peak orgasms is more like a, it is like a contraction, you know? So you wanna go into this to the expansion more. Does that, uh, answer your question? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Just, uh, just curious how you, how you, how this, this days, um, compared to my memory. Yeah. Yeah, man. I mean, the breath work, breath work and meditation is, is my, uh, my go-tos. And I mean, my body's activated. And then I also, I love going to take, uh, like, pleasure sessions, or I don't do it as often anymore. But if there is a good person around who offers, uh, more of their Yeah. Pleasure based sessions, I love that. Hmm. Yeah. And then I wanna finally, I just wanna end with one thing when it comes to like celibacy or sexually active, that I think I see there is a value in all of it. And I encourage everybody to explore their own. I encourage everybody to explore. Like, we only know by experience and you, and we only know once we have experience. Yeah. So I've went through polyamory and I see the beauty of that, but for the moment, I would not go into that. Like, I want simplicity and ease, which no relationship is fully, but it's like the more I can co contain my energy for the moment, then go deeper, that is more interesting for me, for example. Mm-Hmm. But it, it all has its beauty. Everything has its beauty and it's, it's a lot. I can talk into it, but I'm gonna pause it there. Yeah. Or a lot I can say about it. Yeah. Maybe, maybe I jump into that and just share my perspective about celibacy and sexual freedom. I think I'm a kind of a mix between the both. So I'm sexual celibate, I think by coincident accident. So my, my last relationship ended last September, and I am, I was not really inspired to go in anything else because I feel like I don't want to engage with other people if it's not matching my own energy field. And I'm kind of not interested in being in the same vibration, and I don't want to educate anybody else anymore. And it's so difficult, specifically being a sexual educator for so many years, that I just want to be free in the bad room of free with my sexual energy. And, um, but being in celibacy means for me personally, I'm very sexually active with myself. So I have a, I have a very cultivated sexual practice that I call edging. And edging is pretty much this kind of place of essential expansion into literally infinity. And then having multiorgasmic stages where I can hang out in this infinite space of expansion and peace and ecstasy for hours. I love that. And sometimes I, one that's like, is it actually kind of an addiction? And maybe it is, but I don't really care because it feels really good and it's really liberating in my body and I really love it, and it's really freeing. And I have the full access. I call that the orgasmic grit, and I can tap in whenever I want to. And why the heck would I limit myself and have with somebody a sexual experience that would be just like a kind of a, a spike of that, what I can experience with myself if I can't do that with another person. And that would be not of my interest, or I would not be curious about having kind of a little, kind of peak here and there if it's not matching the vibration I can have. So, um, and because of that, I have, you know, when I feel it sometimes on a daily base, full moon comes is pretty soon. And that activates me. So I'm very into that. Uh, and then I have some days nothing is happening for me. And then I have sometimes by choice, kind of like a ritual for myself where I go into an ecstatic orgasmic state and celebrate myself for hours. Uh, and, um, so I think there's this a kind of combination between celibacy and sexual liberation and yeah. Curious how that is resonating what we three have shared with other people. And we have already, uh, 40 minutes in and wanna opens up for question and answers. Yeah, Yeah, yeah. Let's hear it. Let's hear. So yes. Okay. Please, Yeah. Unmute yourself and then run in Christian. Christiana. Can't hear you. I ask to mute. So unmuting is on left and corner on the microphone. Thank, I found, uh, um, thank you for your, your comments. And, um, I'm a bit excited talking to so much people about this topic. Maybe other people can relate to this, but what I not heard in 40 minutes is the word love. And I'm, I'm in a, in a, in a time, I had no sex for many years because I understood that I need love. I, I need a deep soul connection. And I was, I was kind of shocked a few, a few weeks ago, as I heard the word demisexual, and I don't know if you're used to this word, demisexual. I found out this is an expression for people who need an emotional connection to their partners to be, to have, uh, sexual feelings. And the word demi, as I understood and learned is, is means half. Uh, it's a French word, half. And it's very difficult for me to understand why, um, why not being in a no, why to, to be in a, in a deep emotional connection towards somebody is something not full. Because for me, this is would mean a very full state to have a sexual connection with, with somebody, and a really loving relationship. Uh, so I just, I just can't agree with, with this, uh, with this term to be demisexual, to not be fully somehow because I want everything, you know, in, in a connection. And we can, of course, discuss what does everything mean. Everything can mean something totally different for every person, but for me it means to have not only, uh, a bodily sensation towards somebody, but also a heart, my heart and my soul, and my interests and my daily being. So this, I would be very curious what you think about this emotional aspect of sex. Thank you. I can Luana or can Yeah, yeah, I can take that. Or You wanna, I've, I've as well. Something, Yeah. You wanna start? Uh, yeah. I'll just make it shortened. Maybe two minutes. Um, I love that. And it's so important. And, uh, when it comes to sexuality, for example, when I'm in, in sexual relationship with myself, I love myself dearly in this. And without this self laugh, I would not have any interest in sexual encounter. And when I'm in sexual relationship with a woman, um, without laugh, sex doesn't work for me. And literally laugh makes me hard. And if there is no laugh in the place, erection doesn't happen for me. And my experience with sexuality is that I feel a penetration from that laugh that comes towards me, that makes me erected or hard. And it feeds like I'm, I'm penetrating back with laugh. And that's, that's always the, the, the, the go-to, or the key component. And one important piece. And to round that up is, and I'm very, um, dedicated and excited and passionate about this dynamic, about the woman's body and the wiring of the nervous system, specifically about the womb and the wiring of the vagal complex to the heart and the social engagement system that literally needs safety and connection to actually feel this emotional respond and this emotional cycle and, and, uh, loop. And without that, I'm actually not really interested in sexuality. Thank you so much. That helps. Yeah. Okay. That makes, it makes things, um, more full to hear this. Yes. And I agree. I, I think because this topic is so broad and we cannot deep with, you know, we talk about the energy and relationship and poly, I mean, all of those topics deserve like a deep dive on its own. So the love making or having sex with love, I mean, it just, I think we all three can agree upon that, or at least I can speak fully for myself. For me, I cannot, I cannot just fk without emotion. Like I am. I am an extremely loving being. Like I love so much. I can even, I can even meet a stranger, make love. And I just love, I love, this is what I do. I love, like, I love, I penetrate with love. This is the, this is who I am. And I would not, I, I cannot shut it off, and I would never go and be with somebody just like to have a hungry horny. Fk. I, I cannot, it is just completely uninteresting for me. Completely. And for me, it's, it's, it's very much of a connective and sp deep spiritual practice. Like for me, it's, it's like connection is key always. Connection is always key. Like, I have zero interest in, in just f*g around or being like, no, from, yeah. So thank you for bringing that up, so it's not becoming much misunderstood. Yeah. I really appreciate that. Thanks. Who else? Great question. Any other, Well, Mirabell asked a question here. She's saying, uh, also thought came by that, uh, when you become really, really open, sensitive and de armored, I feel like you will become very lonely. And it must be hard to find equal partner if you wish to have a partner. Um, I can kind of disagree with that one because we are mixing different questions here. So at least, you know, we create our own reality. There is no, this equals that whatever energy I have inside myself will attract or will mirror my inner, uh, understanding back to me. So it absolutely doesn't mean that if you become the armor then open and sensitive that you end up alone. It just means that you're gonna become a different person and you're gonna attract different kind of person, different kind of reality will be reflected back to you. So I wouldn't, uh, I wouldn't, uh, like you question, I wouldn't even contemplate that concept. I would maybe say, like right now, I, I'm gonna talk about myself. Let's say right now my heart is closed and I'm fully armored. I'm gonna find a partner who is similar. When I become de armored and fully soft and open, I'm gonna find a partner who is equal to that. This is the equation. Your equation doesn't really equate, at least not in my perception. Maybe the other two will have a different answer to that. Yeah. I, I mean, again, it's even more complex than just equals attract equals because there's all about personal complexity and who do we attract and why, and all of this. But it's another webinar. So again, go into that. Yeah. But definitely, you know, when you become more sensitive. So for me, I, I cannot have a lover that just like, I wanna make her come, for example. It's just like this transaction and doing and forcing, or, I mean, it just doesn't work because my body is so open. So my standard, I raise my standard because I'm more sensitive. I raise my standard and then I want to be met in the level where I am. Otherwise it doesn't make sense. But by you dearing yourself, like why wouldn't you want to become an even, like, why wouldn't you want to explore your potential even more? Why would you stay in a level because of some fear? I know you're not there, but, you know, why would we do that? So that's just, you know, that's just mind. Yeah. It, and of course, you more, the more you work with yourself, the more aware you become, the more sensitive you become, the harder it is to find equals because that's not the majority of population. That's also truth. You know, there is less playground. I disagree. Yeah, I do that them Thank you. But again, so welcome. So I would say, I mean, that's the best gift I ever given, ever given to myself, is to really go deep into my body and my sexuality. 'cause that's just wonderful. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe I can give my 5 cents to that. Yeah. Abel, and I just write your question before as well that, um, you know, I know a little bit about your history. And the question is then, of course, without talking about anything, if there is an attachment created as soon as you're engaging with another person, so where you're giving yourself away into somebody else and making yourself dependent on what's coming back, how you, how you be perceived, and from that perspective is probably a really good decision, um, to cultivate yourself in there instead of just like trying to figure that out in unconscious engagements and trying to identify and find yourself in sexual encounters and relationship that doesn't serve you very well. Yeah. So the question then is just really to figure out what's the attachment style and, uh, exactly where do you lose yourself? Where do you give yourself away? Yeah. And then of course, I mean, we have talked in the de armoring training just tiny little bit, uh, shared about that relationship dynamics. Um, that has to start with ourself, with agency autonomy, ownership about our feeling ourself independently. And you are only find that in solitude with yourself, you know, as you just said, that long walks in nature. Um, and then observing yourself when you come in proximity with another person, where do you change and make small steps in engagement where you realize and recognize, well, I give myself away here and I'm kind of just like losing myself in there. And, um, the way how I see that is as soon you just find somebody with similar values of agency ownership, uh, autonomy about whatever is important in your life, then you recognize that you don't have to project, and the other person doesn't project either. So there's no attachment created. And all of a sudden you have an energy field between you that is kind of vibrating and resonating and out of that energy field, what I call this interpersonal space, this is where something can occur that I call relationship. Yeah. And wherever that goes, you, you know, the, the idea of that relationship is, is there an intention behind that? Where do you want to go together? You know, it's just like, what's the vibration that is being created? Um, aiming for is just like, what's the project? Maybe you just want to create a business. Maybe you wanna create family. Maybe you build a house, maybe you want to travel together. Maybe you just wanna just like be sensual and sexual and just making laugh for the, for a spiritual experience, but being really communit communicative and honest and clear and transparent about intentions. Yeah. This is what I would say to that. And that's a very deep journey for me again and again and again. And that probably never stops. Can I chime in here, or, uh, But wait, Maribel, can you, uh, just feedback, was this useful or does this bring new questions? Because I feel like there's a deep something in there, and I'm not sure Fear in there. Yeah, no, it's super useful. All those three perspectives. Um, so that what Matt said, uh, it comes up that I, I think I really have a mindset still of when I'm not, not giving myself away, I'm closing myself. And because I try to become an open, being like hard open. But I think I confuse the, the, the chakras here. Yeah. I really do. Yeah. Yeah. I think I confuse the, the heart and the second chakra, and then No, but then being a little kind of this, um, uh, boundless, like, you don't really feel yourself, and then you do it because you wanna be brave, you want to grow, uh, you want to learn something maybe, and then you override yourself. You don't kind of catch up on the micro, micro movements within, is that correct? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. I mean, it was like that before and still of course, um, there's a lot to learn, but I'm, uh, I've, I've met a lot of the, of the demons down there. Very good training. So thank you. Thank you. Yeah. I think, James, you had your, uh, mic unmuted. Thank you. Yeah, this is a really valuable conversation. I'm really glad to be in, uh, a group of people that are talking about the things that I'm thinking and working with and, and, uh, practicing for myself. Um, you know, I've gone into a type of cel celibacy. I'm not having penetrative sex with anybody. Um, my work involves sensuality and sexuality, and umm involved in different communities as well. And I've worked for many, many years with, you know, the somatics and finding that sovereignty and that agency. And what I'm hearing here, which mirrors the way that I see it, maybe in different words, is that, you know, when I pull, pull back or come back into myself and reclaim that energy and, um, learn those and see those places that are armored or tight or, um, or things aren't flowing. And I need to take that time to myself to be able to do that, which is what I'm doing now, but then to know if I've really grown and learned anything, I, I have to step into other situations. Yeah. And then sometimes get thrown off base, sometimes, you know, get to celebrate because I feel like I've learned something really, you know, like, like, like I've actually learned and grown. Um, and then having the capacity to move back and forth. This is the way I see it. It's sort of a paradox. I can't silo myself just in myself and think that I've really learned something, but then I can't just throw myself out there constantly and think like, oh gosh, I need to like, keep beating my head against this wall in order to learn something. You know, they've done both of those a lot. So you know, this, this way of, of, of, of being able to move back and forth, but at be at choice when I do it, you know, it's like I recently came out of a relationship too, and it was kind of the, that I want to be able to choose my own chaos. You know, I, I don't want to just be thrown into or dragged into somebody else's chaos, um, out of some sense of, uh, you know, um, duty or need. You know, like if I don't get my thing then anyway. Um, so I, I, I really appreciate, and I, and Deanna, I really, uh, you know, listening to what you were saying early in the, in the podcast and then the last time too, which is what drew me back to this podcast, um, I can't, I can't parrot what you said, but, um, that place of the celibacy not being something of just cutting off relationship, it's a place of finding out who I really am and, and coming back for me, what I call it, coming back to a baseline that is truly who we are. Which, you know, if I'm operating down here and this has been the baseline, or it's the normal baseline in humanity, um, and I'm trying to make that, then I'm, I'm, I'm not gaining anything. I'm not learning anything. I'm not growing. But if I open myself up and get open up those senses and really am able to expand, then the baseline comes up to, you know, it's not special. It's actually the real baseline where we actually are, are as human beings, who we are as spiritual beings, who we are as you know, what we've come into. And, uh, I really feel like we've kind of lost a lot of that in our cultures worldwide. Hmm. You know, we, we, uh, um, yeah. Anyway, that's enough for me. Thank you. I appreciate this conversation. Mm-Hmm. Yeah, I just wanna, sorry, Matt, I just wanna touch on what you just said because it really, what I'm hearing in, in, in your share and, and all these other questions and stuff, it really comes down to the question, why do you want to be celibate? What's really going on? And what, like, where are you in your life? What are you working on? Where, like, you put it in all levels? And I don't tend to see it like that because it's kind of generalizing. I'm kind of working on myself and I'm accepting that we are like in a mishmash soup of everything is happening right now. So generalizing it, I'm kind of leaving it alone because it doesn't, I want want to be super specific, like detailed. And so when I look at myself, then I can only apply whatever truth to myself. And when I look at you, I can only apply the truth to you, not to no one else. So I just wanna put it into also everybody here and everybody who's gonna be listening, like really start feeling in what do you need? Like what is the reason you're potentially thinking about it or doing it, or, I mean, all of, you're here, clearly you're interested in a subject, but the question is from what, which perspective are you interested in? What is really burning in you? What really needs to come alive? What really needs to be worked through? What bugs you in your head? So like, start cutting deeper and look behind and behind, like more going to finesse of the work that you do on yourself. Like, why are you actually doing it? So, I just wanted to put that in. I wanna, it's a great reflection. Can I talk into that, Matt? Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure. Go for it. Yeah. Uh, 'cause I really love this of like freedom of choice, kind of like, uh, that I wanna be able to, I wanna be in. So I was, I want, I, I want to have as much self mastery and mastery of myself as I can, so I can choose situations and how situations affect me and how much I wanna dive into things. And for me, that never means to shy away from something 'cause I'm afraid or because I feel scared not to do something. Uh, like I wanna, I wanna, so what I like what you said is that, that, okay, I wanna explore myself, and then I need to go back a little bit to see like, okay, what do I learn? And okay, and I work on myself, and then I go in, I dive into life again to like, okay, wow, I, you're not grown some muscle here, and then I can pull myself out. So I constantly do this check in with life. I don't believe in just withdrawing at the same time. It's, when we talk about relationship, I mean, I think many people are kind of mindlessly engaging in relationship and sexuality. We make it such an importance, but don't really know why. So it can be really helpful to sometimes withdraw, take oneself out. Like, who am I without anybody around me? What do I really want? Like Matt said, what do I really want a relationship for? Like, am I in ownership here or am I just mindlessly being dragged around or meeting because this is something which is supposed to be in society? You know? Or habit. Or Habit. A habit. Exactly. Thank you. That's a great word. It's like how much in, in, in, in, in, you know, in healthy control, like, understand me, right? Like, how much in control am I over my own being my own self? Yeah. You're reading my mind today, this lovely darling. Oh, it's a sign. So I love them. 'cause I, I really believe, and, and that's why, can I say something with you, Deanne, where we kind of, we don't really agree with the celibacy thing. So sometimes I feel like I know Deanne a little bit at least, and I know he has, you know, a lot of sexual energy. And he is, he is a great lover and he is handsome, and he's very, you know, sensitive. And, and so I'm like, you know, you, you, you, you, uh, you're like, you're being selfish, you know, holding yourself back, you know? And why don't you just dive in once in a while just to check, you know? Because somewhere I believe there is still a hunger, there is a want, you know? Of course there's A hunger. Yeah. So, so I'm like, I'm trying to n like encourage him to just like, Hey, have a dip. You know, like just what happened, what's, what's the difference? Telephone number, you know? Yeah. Or at least go and take a tantric massage, like you pay for a service and that, that's it. Like, it's safe. There is no like emotional entanglement, but this is what I believe. Like I don't, if we shy away from something because we are afraid and then hold back, then we don't really master the situation because then it's still fear involved. Yeah. I don't say that I respond to that. Huh? Can I respond to that? Absolutely. I don't say that it's exactly what you're doing. I'm just No, I hear you. I hear you. And so a little bit of a history. So Sana and I were together, and then we stopped being together, and then we started the armor in training. And then I went tu and then, because we did trainings every six months, then we had a little dinging dong every six months for first I think year or a year and a half. And so that gave me year and a half of being celebrate, uh, outside those six months fully. And then having a depot, like coming to check in finger on a pulse, where am I with this thing that was working on every six months. And what I found actually that it wasn't really getting, it was getting a little bit better. Like last time there was like year and a half in, it was a little bit, I was able to relax sooner. It still took me three weeks of, three weeks after the engagement, I actually relaxed three weeks. So do this. And then it takes three weeks to relax. I mean, that's not mastery, that's b**t. No, no, no, no. You shouldn't be. Anyway. Anyway. So then basically, so then I went on fully, and because I keep checking in, but because I'm doing it for this second chakra relating issues, I don't actually need to engage sexually because I can see how I'm still, like, the pattern still is there. It still has me. So there is no point. Like a few months ago, we, again, my teacher and I, we did another series sessions and both of us were like, I'm, I'm still not ready. Like if I go back, I would just fall completely back into where I was eight years ago and nothing changed because I haven't taken the route out of whatever I'm working on. So I totally believe in, in reality, and I'm fully on. Like, I don't trust anything until I test it. And if I don't feel it, it's not real or whatever, you know, it needs to be actual. So I agree with that, that you need to go back in life a test and then go back into drawing board and, and test again. And I do it nonstop, but I'm still not ready. I, I would be, because I'm after mastery, like 100% purity. I'm not there. And I need to be honest with myself because if I'm not, then like what am I committed to? What am I actually spending my life on? And so, yeah, uh, I'm really looking forward to sharing what I'm actually done with it and, and come out and ta and go and make love again. You know, really, I'm okay with that, but I'm not ready yet. That makes me think of, you know, why sexuality has been so, you know, for example, uh, spiritual teachers and religion and all of that. I mean, there's fear because it is hard to master it. It's hard to master the relationship. You know, it's hard to master that connection. So, you know, can it be so that all these, you know, spiritual men throughout times just couldn't f*g master their energy. So they had to make it the rule. You know, somehow the feminine path is different. You know, we are fluid, we are sexual, we are dynamic. We are a little messy. We are a little loud. Maybe I can be, but there is this, there is this, uh, there is this difference. And, and that's why I like my, my cheeky self or, uh, it's like, but is it really mastery? If you just need to shy away? Is that mastery? I question that, and I don't question that with you. I just question it in the big picture. Like how come it's being so repressed and forbidden in many ways, in many different areas? And This is a great thing. And I have, uh, many examples of not many, but some of, for example, Babas in India, the Baba, uh, since childhood, they were born into it and never ever had any women. And then age 30, 40, a first western woman comes with the little t*s out and they fall tooth gone because they were repressing it. So this is sad. It's sad because it shows this like they were drilling and mastering one side of themselves, but they haven't mastered the sexual energy, is what I mean. I know, I know. We'll never disappear because they collective like the who I, I believe. So I don't know, but that's my, my more like all into life kind. Yeah. And then, and then you have me on life. Yeah. But then you have me who in my work, in our trainings, for those of you that know that did the trainings, you know, but those of you that don't know, we do sexual armoring there. So there's all these beautiful naked women, like nonstop. So I'm putting myself in a situation where I'm challenging my sexuality. Like, am I able to stay? I'm celibate because it's here in my face. And, and Sinai is also doing my best to kinda woo me in every now and then, you know? And it's, it's okay, but, so I'm not shying away, but I just know that I'm not ready, so, oh no, it's, um, yeah, it's, but it's sad to see when people, you know, this, this is what I did first few years. Do you remember? I was like, no. Like, get away. Like, ah, yeah, I was repressing it because I didn't know how to be with it. But now, after all these years, I can be with it. So yeah, it's a valid point. Yeah. I mean, this is, is such an interesting topic. Want to come back to that. What as well, uh, James said in combination to that, what Mira Bell's question was just, you know, we can, in forms of celibacy, I guess all master the art of just being on our own and cultivating our own sexual energy and finding peace and harmony and self love. And, and this is just my experience of, um, trying whatever I can, trying everything in relationship in all forms, is that the, you know, just like I, I, I can to myself, uh, I can tell myself as much as I want that I'm just like having found it. But the real proof is when I'm going back into proximity with somebody else. And if I'm choosing to be sexually with somebody, have I mastered myself here? Am I, am I, am I capable of really being in attunement with my own energy? Can I stay in connection with myself? But you know, you know, we can all be on our ourself to a degree probably for the rest of our life. But I think real transformation and the real deal happens in proximity and in sexual encounter between at least two people who choose to be sexually with each other. You know, it's, it, it, and, and, and I think, um, I don't know. I might get, I don't know, 80 or I don't know which, which age, but at one point I just have completely lost interest in everything. But I can say, you know, just literally in the last 20 year, or let's say 15 years, I've done everything I wanted to do around sexuality. And, and, and I think of myself. I'm a pretty free sexual liberated being and my experience being in a workshop, for example, of when we are in the Deaming training, and yeah, there, there are naked bodies and there are, they're beautiful naked bodies. But it's, for me, for example, it's just another day in the office. There has nothing to do with any sexual dynamics in me is just like, yeah, this is, this is the nature of how we look. But if I really want to go close with a person, then how deep am I capable of really going there without losing myself? And when we just going out of p proximity, how much can I still be myself without having lost myself in somebody else? And, and that's literally my kind of, um, uh, aim. And, and, and I would not say about myself that I'm finished being or that I'm, that I'm complete in that. But at the moment I would say I'm really, really happy about being sexual. Um, promise promis with, but being with other people, but being fully sexual liberated and free in myself in all forms that I choose for myself. Yeah. Can I say something? Um, whoever that is. Yeah. The Ro Robert, I've seen your question. That was awesome. Please say something Here with conversations in my head and, um, reactions in my body. Okay. And, um, 'cause it's such a big subject and I feel like we, it's so easy for me and, and I think for other people too to be, just be intellectual about it, you know, like we're talking about. But I know I keep thinking as we're talking about this, that when I did the training with you guys, um, I guess about five or six years ago, I came back from, well, I, I came for the 11 days, then I went to Spain and I did the second one, which was supposed to be the first one, the immersion experience after I did the training. So I had 18 days of training in a relatively short period of time. And I came back with a new body. I came back with like an energy, it wasn't really, um, matured or fulfilled and was wanting to do something, didn't really know how to do something with it. But it was clearly different than what I arrived with. And it was, it wasn't that it was sexual, but it was sexual. You know what I'm saying? Yes. And it's that state. It's that state. And it was, it was the awareness, what I'm calling the energy body. Um, and I've, I've done work before, before I ever did this work. I, I'm a je and I've been following the work of JE for many years. I've been involved with that work. So without any sexuality, I mean, just from years past, having the experience of my body being alive. Yes. You know what I'm saying? Yes. And then I lost it. I left that work. This is before I came to you guys, I had caused to leave it. I went back into the world, you know, from being for like 18 years in a, you know, in, in an organization. That was the cultivating my spiritual growth, you know, in a matter of speaking. Not sexual, no sexuality to it, but, you know, and circumstances that led me to do the training, irrelevant. But, you know, now where I'm at, you know, is what's really mattering, what's important, because, you know, I've had that experience. Now I'm Robert, what's Your question? I'm not connected to the work that, um, that we had done in the past. Hmm. I want that connection. And there has to be a way to find it. I don't think it's sexuality or celibacy. I think that's, that's like behavior, you know? So, Robert, Robert, what was the difference? You said you were a lot in your body, so what was the difference that made you go into your body? Well, I felt, I remember when I came back, I felt like I was walking down the street and I was engaging with people where I'm connecting to the, to the ground, to the people, to everybody. I wasn't in my head, But Exactly. But so what was it that brought you into the body? What was the actually step, you know, like I hear you looking for Something. I think it was 18 days. I think it was 18 days of being with you guys, to be honest. Yeah. So I can't be addicted to you guys. I have to generate it myself. What I'm thinking is, Robert, hang on a second. Lemme just, I'll just uh, do a very short answer. Robert, basically you need to keep practicing. This is the thing, like what I'm hearing in you, you said 18 days and in our workshops it's super intense, it's super intimate, it's super personal and it's practice. It's like being in the container or real life. And normally when people go out to their lives, you don't have that privilege really. But you need to create it. You need to create a community. You need to create, uh, uh, friends that you can recreate it with. You need to go to gatherings that kind of have similar energy. You need to practice. If you go back to your normal life after what you, the, the work you do with us, we did with us. It's not surprised that you kind of lose the, the, the connection with that zingy. Because for those of you that don't know, our trainings are super alive, they're very authentic, they're very alive, they're very real, they're very personal, very intimate. Of course, you walk out feeling, wow, I'm alive. But then if you go back doing what you did before, which is mingle with people that are closed, go to places where close people go. You don't give yourself an option to actually, this is what we say during the trainings. People, once you finish the trainings, you need to start mixing with people of similar caliber. Otherwise, you're gonna go mad or you're gonna go back to the old. It is not possible to be open like you are during the trainings and weeks. We normal, i i, I don't wanna sound judgmental, but people who are closed and expect to have the same results. It's not possible. You need to change friends. You need to change groups that are mixed with, you need to change activities that you do, even jobs that you do, because you need to surround yourself with people who resonate with new you. This is default. Without it, you cannot expect a, a result to last. You know, this, this is sub true, but it's true. And so what I recommend, what we recommend in our trainings, what happens with me as I was working on myself every six to six months to one year, I would change group of friends, completely new people around me, new activities, new groups, because I needed to feel in resonance with me, new me. And because I was changing, I needed to keep doing that. So my recommendation to you, Robert, is like try to find communities and people that resonate or try to advertise and start doing little workshop or workshop or like gatherings at your own home. And just somehow, I dunno, surround yourself with people that, that you want to surround with rather be a kind of Yeah, I wanna add onto that as well. I, I agree to a And also what I hear you say is that when what you felt in the body's aliveness Yeah. Is life. It's the only thing that's real. So wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, exactly. It's the only thing that is real. So, and you, it feels sexual, but it's not sexual. But that's, it's life force. That's how it feels is this ly zingy, bubbly champagne feeling. And it makes us feel good. It makes us feel happy. It makes us feel creative. It makes us ching lit up. And you know, there's even measurements on different frequencies, you know, and it's a very fine high frequency. We wanna be there. Like why wouldn't we wanna be there? So what I'm saying is like, if you have that as a a, you know, there is an embodiment, there is a memory of that. You wanna be here and you even say that you like, you long for it. You know, go do breath work. Go dance. Find a, the armoring practitioner from a find a tantra practitioner, somebody who helps you activate the like force. Yeah. Because it's all about coming in down, down into the body again. Yeah. Because you will never figure it out. Like it's impossible. Head will block because head has a more dense frequencies. If you're in the head, you can't feel the body, you can't feel this tingling sensations in the body. So the more you can just dive straight into the body, like shout, scream, go to do dynamic yoga, breath work, I mean, this is great stuff to start to activate that again. And then just as a byproduct, you will start to feel the aliveness and the joy coming up again. It's, I can guarantee it if it doesn't work, I give you a private session. Thank you, Senator. You didn't work How much. And I can say that to all of you in here, because I'm so passionate about that, that arising our own energy because it makes us feel good and alive. Like this society is so mental. We're so busy, we are so stressed. We are focusing on the doing and to do list. Like, there's, there's, we, we, we forget how it many forget. I'm not gonna say all of us. Many forget how it actually feel to be alive. And every time, you know, when people feel alive, it's like, I love this. Like we, we, we wanna be there. I can guarantee that you wanna be there. Many of you are, but this is life. Yeah. This is life. But our society is so built on a mental process. Yeah. Yeah. And I would say here in, in our western culture and society we live in is even we are very spoiled with our kind of sexual liberation and freedom and, you know, coming from different countries, some pe some countries having kind of nudity, uh, at the, at the, uh, lake when you go bathing in nature or at the beach. And this is just like, this is just simple and easy. And then you come into cultures, uh, this is kind of more like a little bit just like, no, don't do that here. You know, we are still very spoiled, but there are cultures in this world, you know, that is sexuality through kind of politics and uh, uh, religion and society. And you can name it so suppressed. You know? And the only thing that exists is the heterosexual normative does like to make more of us. But where is the kind of the spiritual aspect of that and the spiritual aspect with our ourself, with life force energy and the spiritual aspect in proximity with other people, and the proximity with life force in itself, with nature. So what is our sexual relationship with life itself out there? Yeah. You know, this is just, you know, and, and we have, we are really f*g spoiled. I just wanna say that. Who is we? Well, society in the western environment. We here in Sweden and Europe. So we are pretty spoiled here. Uh, Is there another question? A question? Please. Wait. Uh, IA said, uh, ia, sorry, I don't know how to say her name. Uh, she kind of made a point about, uh, I thought self-mastery is about being able to be with more people with ease to expand my circle, including more including the disconnected folk. Well, let's talk about it for, for a little moment. Yeah. Because I think it's important. So what I know from my experience and also from people that I met who are more pure than me, the pure you are, the more lonely you are. And this is a fact, like my teacher, she's a master and she basically told me sometime ago that she feels super lonely because there is no other master she can share herself with. Master cannot share herself with a not master. It's not possible. You need to, in order to really be met, you need to vibrate at the same frequency. And so if you like the high on a vibrational scale, you go, unfortunately, because we live in a fd up world, the more lonely you are. So yes, I can be with anybody and I work with anybody disconnected or connected. That's no problem working. When it comes to my personal life, I also want to be met. And unfortunately, I cannot be met by disconnected folk because I feel they're my children. You know, I'm talking to a child, spiritual child. So I don't feel met. We are not equal. So this is my 2 cents on that one. So I, I don't know. You wanna say something on that? Yeah, I wanna mention briefly 'cause it, it kind of activates a bit about my journey. So let me see. Ia, IANA, LOA Ana, how to say her name? Joa. Yeah, sorry. It's Yona. Joa. Thank you. Yes, thank you Yona. Uh, so I don't know where you are on your journey because sometimes, um, where are, where are you by the way? Let me see. There is so many people here. Maybe I can chat with you a little bit. See, I don't know how to show you. No, I'm gonna find, there you are. Okay. So just because this is an interesting topic, and I kind of, uh, just briefly about my own journey where I thought I had to be open to be spiritual, to be a, a masterful. And I just dove into some polyamorous circle and I denied kind of love and intimate connection. 'cause it was kind of, it didn't fit into that circle where I was. I kind of became a good student. And I actually, in order to be so developed, yeah. When I realized that I actually hurt myself. So this can be a big b**t belief. Like you, you know, I almost getting angry there, so I just wanna hear not angry at you. Of course. What is it, where are you in your journey? And maybe I can reflect something. Um, yeah, thanks for asking. It's, how can I answer this briefly? I, I think I, I went through this thought process that, um, self-mastery is about being able, you know, to be with your parents for longer. That's a good one, right? Being With who for longer, sorry? Your parents. Your Parents for longer. Right. Oh wow. That's like, um, good one. And uh, and I've experienced the opposite, right? I, I've experienced a lot of sensitivity, a lot of opening. And, um, I found it very difficult to be around my workplace, around, you know, the people from my, um, unless I hold space. When I hold space, I'm in control. I mean, like, when I hold space, I, I feel like I'm really aligned and then I can be with anyone. Yeah. But when I'm not holding space, I feel so much of the environment. It, it's really difficult to ground to be grounded in myself. Yeah. And I think I have this expectation that I should be grounded enough in myself. Okay. Not to be, um, you should so much. Right? No, you should. Right there, Dan. I'm just, so how, how, how, how are you with your boundaries? Hmm. It's a no. Yeah. That's, that's a it's a big story. Yeah. Most likely. Very big, very big story with boundaries. And I'm also neurodivergent, so this means that my nervous system is really open just by design. Yeah. Yeah. I get it. So what could you, um, I mean I can, I can just from my own perspective, I, I'm super sensitive and I pick up on people's energies and environments. And back in the days it was terrible. I could hardly be out because I just, I was just absorbed and everything. And on a kind of personality level, I was super codependent. I was a pleaser. So I was trained to all the time feel into people's needs. But what helped me massively was really to start to, you know, put boundaries be more true to myself and define my own structure more. And that have helped me so much. So I'm thinking is there's something you can do, like when I hear you say this with, with your boundaries and that, that it's a bit vague. What, what could, where could you start? I mean, that's also self-mastery, you know, that's a path of part of becoming masterful in being around other people. People. Yeah. I'm, I'm, I'm Something you said about defining your own structure really resonated in my body. And I'm curious what you meant by defining your own structure. Yeah. Um, I need to put a little pause on this because I'm conscious of time. We have six minutes left of this webinar. And so Iana, I would really invite you come to one of our trainings because this is exactly what we work there a lot on, like finding a No not to come to your trainings. And I struggle to be in trainings. That's part of my boundary setting is being neurodivergent. I can, I cannot be with people for more than three hours a day. It's too much for me. Um, okay. If, if you want, you can, uh, you can connect with me and we can have a conversation. Yeah. I'll have a one-to-one And uh, and I can give you some advice. But basically if other people having the same issue, like defining yourself is to understand your needs, your wants, who you are. Yeah. What you like, what you don't like. That sounds very basic, but when it comes again into relationship, this is why it's so difficult to be around other people. 'cause we lose ourselves. So this is like the journey, okay, what is true for me here and now. Yeah. Can I have a super short mini question? Go for it. Yeah. Yeah. Connect With me. You wanna, Uh, I just wanna put in this with longer relationships about connecting with people and be mirrored by a partner. And that might be intimate with, but it's great to surround you with, with different people and change environments and all of that. But there's also, for me, it's been a super helpful way of staying in connection and to go deeper. And even when it's struggling. And even if we don't, we are not on the same path or not same level all the time. It's still a learning. And for me it's been, it might be struggling for a while, but to keep the connection as for me, in quite important Absolute, I a hundred percent agree to that. I agree to that a hundred percent deep. Yeah. Deepening. And because that's also another form of monster. We can just go deeper. And especially, I can imagine that you have such a conscious relationship as well. Like you can really mirror, right? You can stay in their fears and you can show your shadows. And that's sport, which is, I mean, for me, that's divine relationship. I love that form of relat relating. That is precious. Yeah. Thank you for bringing that up. So, So my suggestion would be for the, for the, sorry, Ian, I don't wanna interrupt. No, I was gonna say we need to start wrapping it up. And I would actually just want to invite people, um, I mean, basically we never have enough time in this kind of things because this cannot turn into a session. And this is amazing. But let's invite you to do the sessions properly. So if any of you really feel like this is interesting and you'd like to dive deeper into all of those topics, come to one of our trainings. 'cause this is really the purpose of those trainings is to actually have more time, you know, in a webinar like this, we can touch top topics, we can answer some questions, but it's like super shallow and it, I almost feel like irresponsible to like deep questions, but we don't have enough time to actually go through it and, and, and do some work. So maybe we talk about the future trainings and then for few of you that are interested in resonating, come and, and, and dive into it. So we actually, yes, Matt? No, I wanna say I will post the link, uh, just like to the training, if you want to check it out. So you see it here, it's, uh, in the chat, just like copy or just like push the button and then you have the open in your browser and just have a check, just like what we do on when and where and how and what's, how much and so on. We have three trainings coming up over the next, I think three months, right? First one is, uh, body Sound and Breath in Denmark. That's happening in two weeks. Uh, there are some spaces left. It's super amazing. Go to the website and check it out. One after that is, uh, uh, Asana's, uh, d armoring through pleasure. This is three weeks later. Again, go to the website, check the details, and then the last one is, uh, the d armoring training in April. Again, go to the website and check the, check the info and connect with us if you have personal questions. We all work one-to-one, uh, all three of us. So if you want a session, just get in touch. If you have any questions and you want to have a, like a discovery zoom call with one of us for half an hour to find out if it can help you or wouldn't help you, what would be the next kind of stage on Im, we are super open to do that too. Um, am I forgetting anything guys? No, I feel that it's kind of a, we are gonna send out, uh, an email with this recording and then we can also add the links and Yeah. Emails where you can connect with us if you have questions. Um, and yeah. Yeah. I, I, I have a, I have a personal agenda. And the agenda is because I wanna say just like what is my kind of wisdom that I would like to provide for everybody? And I would like to ask you and Deanne and Sona, if you have as well kind of a minute, kind of just like, what would be your 5 cents, your wisdom, your one minute wisdom, a giveaway for everybody to take wisdom. Maybe I start because it was my agenda. Yeah, go on there. Yeah. Okay. And then you can collect yourself and just like, let it rumble. So, so one of my main points at the moment to research is, um, what is sexual freedom and liberation? And most people that I know of and uh, and I was one of them, have this, um, neurological behavior in the nervous system when it comes to sexual encounter, to contract and plunge and squeeze their muscle. Yeah. And stop doing that and learn to relax and expand and become an orgasmic being. And this is why the armoring has saved my life. This is my 5 cents. Okay? I can go, um, when my heart is pounding. If I would have a little bit more time in a circle, I would probably roar right now you who know me. You know what I mean? Um, for me, everything that I do and what I wanna support people into is alignment, authenticity, and understand that we have power within the power to change, the power to choose and to encourage people to understand that like, we are not victims. We, we can, we can decide to live our life as we want to. Like get out of the program. Yeah. Get out of the program and into power. This is my, my, this is why I do everything. Everything that I do is for this alignment and self-mastery, so we can live more fully and free freely. Like life is meant to be joyful with all set up ups and downs. And the whole point is to be so skillful that the ups and downs doesn't really bother us anymore. It doesn't really move us. Like, we don't need to get rid of it. It's like, I enjoy life. Thank you. I think my, my one sense, first of all, I copy paste what both of you said. I really agree with both of it. And, uh, on my side, something new, I would just say, clearly you're here because you're interested in the topic and you're interested in working on yourself. Otherwise you wouldn't be spending an hour and a half with us here. So my recommendation is like, really look in the mirror and say, what is it next that hinders me on my path? Like, be really brutally honest. Like not like nice and nice. Oh, I'm good. I don't need to do anything because that's b**t. So really look in and like, what is it the next, where do I need to catalyze next? What's really important next? And then just go and do it. Like my, the, the way I live my life is through action. I'm like an action baby. You know, everything needs to be lived and, and really fully lived. Immerse yourself deeply into the experience of being alive because then by the time I'm really old, I can look back and say, I lived. There is nothing more I could have done to live more. So I empower you and inspire you and, and, and really like, just go and live. Like whatever you need to go and do, do it now. Like today, not in 10 years. And so I'm open. We are all open. Come to our trainings, come to any other training. Just work on yourself live. If you want to fk you, go and fk. If you don't wanna fk you, don't go and fk. Just like leave, stop sitting on the fence. Stop being wishy-washy. Stop. Like, oh, I dunno what to do. It doesn't matter what to do. Do something. And if it doesn't feel good, turn 180 degrees and run the other way because that will feel good. It's either life is a yes or no. It really is a binary. Like either feels good or it doesn't feel good. It's good for me. It's not good for me. It makes me grow, it makes me go back. It's either light or it's dark. It's super f***g simple. So just like live by it. Just like, go and do like bahar says, follow your passion. Like go and do what you want to do and do it. A hundred percent. That's my 5 cents. I love you. Great. Yeah. I Love that. My, my question request to all of you being here today. Thank you very much everyone for being here. Yeah. And listening and contributing and writing in the chat or just like being here. Please feel free to write three, five words what have resonate most with you in the chat. Kind of express yourself for a moment. Just write it in, get it out of your system. Just like, don't take it with you and just write something down. It's always a good thing. Your Main takeaway, what You bring, there you go. Your main takeaway.

ZvTqq2DAEs4	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvTqq2DAEs4	Solidity BOOTYCamp: The DAOsaster!	before there's actually really great link that I've included into the slide I can actually post it in the slot channel after so you guys can go digging for yourself but essentially what happened was this company did I see while a company essentially it's an organization did that I see over and the abrasive southern 150 million and 50 million of that was stormed out of as they call it smart contract that held all the either it was a big warning to a lot of people not to have a honeypot like that and sort of more distribute the fund rather than have a single contract it's so much enjoyment and and yeah so did the comp the idea of the Dow though and the reason they wanted all of our plot was because if they want it to be a venture capital fund that anyone can become part of and so they didn't I see arounds people could buy their tokens to become part of this organization and it's opens you with used to vote on approving projects that were proposed by contractors capital C contractor is sort of a hole in the system proposals capital P it sort of like an actual thing in Contra the contractor would submit to deep down to do the approved or hostile and there's a really interesting problem in that they wanted to whitelist the difference contractors that would be on the system and so they also had a volunteer who the curators that would basically whitelist you know bet and whitelist different contractors of the event and so the one problem they tried to mitigate against was when the majority for example would vote on taking away in minorities that was the scariest thing you know like what do you do to combat that and what they decided was that at any point a split could be proposed and that meant a proportion of the token holders didn't like this proposal so there was two phases of coding the first phase they would vote on whether they would you know accept it or not but the second phase was a confirmation of as so they can either confirm their code or they can elect to take a hike and split their tokens away from that down into a separate doubt that they controlled solely and so this Dow you know it was possible to fragment it into all these you know some child dads if you will if the token holders didn't like the direction it was going and they wouldn't lose anything you know so that was to mitigate against those kind of problems and so what ended up happening was there was an exploit in the child Dow creation code and so go to the oh yeah so I went through this and so so let's talk about that is the Hat is probably the biggest problem with the theory of our contracts is the free entrance fee of the contracts I mean it's starting to be mitigated against because people are getting smart about passing gas on are you guys well familiar with gas yeah so you spend gas to run opcodes basically and there's a limit to the amount of gas and when it runs out of gas it reverts the whole thing and so what ends up happening is the first question so basically let's say I was part of the down and there was hosel that I wanted to split away from this function is what would get called if I decided and display the important thing is is that there is I'm the curator so I will elect to be the terrier all right I will be the sole greater for last one and you can see that essentially what it does is it takes the fraction of funds in the Dow as you can see on a check line numbers your action but so it takes a fraction of the heat and will create a child out and shoot over the heath to the child down and then the next line is it will sort of fire off an event whatever transfer he'll send a rewards the person to the death the award was zero though when to douse infected and then it will see here total supply subtracts from itself to bouts of in Gilbert and paid out it's busy zeroes the balance of gore percentage so basically it transfers heat to the child down and then extend the reward and then it zeros out the balance before that precision thinks that's right but the problem is is that these functions physically this one so this is the one that generates the heat effectively right that generates but it moves the to the child and a child contract is controlled by the person who sent this slip in key here is to withdraw or order for let's dig into that member oh so there's the child creation code that very interesting but so here's the with drama water four subjects okay if the balance of their account and x there as was the ratio of what they have AC is less than what they working it out then bro okay whatever the balance of their account this with a matter of food reward at zero so you're effectively saying zero it's less than payout of path which is could be I'm sorry to paid out of town you could have just like that that timeout in there and basically balls always ball excuse me Sierra's name are lots of Darrel and then it would go to and this is the function is interesting so to calculate the reward which is there was no reward but it would call this function so called hey oh hey oh hey OH alls I'm the recipient address it sends the reward amount to that address but most critically it's my recipient got called off value so it's trying to transmitting this eat and then make them fall so in fact the basic content of all function which will transfer any key and the problem is this though is that you're calling an address and you don't know what code is at the other end of the line so what this fellow did is all you need to do is if you can have this reenter click split down code at the very beginning then you can go through this whole process and just keep taking so if we if we jump back you can see if I if I basically pipe implement a function so if the recipient is instead of contract rather than a person I can write code because trigger on transfer and so I can write the code instead so when that gets tall we'll go back and split it down back up to here back down to here this is checking the balance control classic this is check it out which has not yet good because you can see the top five so now follow me the doctor here doctor here this has triggered the attackers code which has then gone back into slipped out re-enter dysfunction but in this check as to whether or not that will send more heat to the child down it's still it's still true it's still fine because we haven't zeroed everything else yeah because we're still right here in the first home so his call getting called continuously as many times as much gas as he can get this thing it'll get called that number of time and the only trick is is that he knows that or she knows that this is potentially temporary if it does the burglar runs out of gas and then the balance is hit seven zero so what they actually did is that they actually decide to pump out of the child out at the same time to another address so but yeah anyway so you can see let's see those summary we go to the first attacker both the split there's some things here around the voting period and that was different people from for example if there was a vote to for a proposal and instead they want to get people enough times that the proposal and split they want to or objectively have you so there's some things around here rot expire occurs but it's not terribly interesting that we execute the split the dowel will send the new child out with sheriff tokens so that Kobe just saw the reward is interesting because it was just zero but the reward is the function that was exploited in order to re-enter the code and then as it's adding more more tokens to child you withdraw the rectal ward before updating the balance and you just do that until the gas runs out pretty much so in this is huge brother it was a very well known it wasn't that well-known a problem I guess there was a guy that in fact wrote an article about this very exploit to doubt as the tap is taking place and we find the reddit thread that it has the comments kind of unplug be like holy is happening look you know I'm done and the medium article document at this exact time and they try to plug it before with that if statement but the if statement is just zero is less than zero which is always false and their throws so it just continues past that so this is a real problem and so they came away from this with about fifteen on us yeah I'd like 15% of these they're in it or something gross like that fifty percent of all the years of all these are yeah that's why that that's what I'm saying or fifteen one five and and and so what happened this you guys heard there in classic is that that Belkin so that actually resulted from the schism into the community that was a result of his exploit because people are like well code is law so this guy exploited the code he managed to get a bunch of money and now people want to roll back they want to roll back history so that they still have those months and that's metallic and others agreed they decided to give the miners an option to for after a certain block number that you would for a new brothers code and it would basically bring back the history did make to get people to funds back or they could continue on and that continuation between the theorem closet which still has been away so I looked at the account yeah actually if they are tightly linked to and here I'll politically get slack but you can go over the accounts as well and you ask you that the money has no okay I didn't trace the I just looked in southern 0 then I click the next one and said like 100 400 for wanna eat at one point yeah that's the edge to speak a little bit more to reinsurance II because this is really what they did and this is what you mitigate against is the problem is but probably the biggest problem that code is that they didn't zero balances before calling potentially if they had 0 pounds before then the reaction C would have done nothing and the second problem of this is that they're using sender to follow value and pull up value if you call that style will pass on all the gas that means the person who called the pub memory initially let's say instead of doing 200,000 gas we put it in then this code can run as much as it wants until it hits that 5 million limit so so there's sort of two problems here what they they didn't they need to move this up 0 the balance first there's no incentive in reentry code into we need to prevent the code from be able to run again so if you instead davis enough gas just - I don't think completely transfer something I take the amendments 1,000 then you can't really do much with that so even if they could write the code and have it executed it wouldn't get any fortunately so then there's and that's with one function but things can get even more complicated let's say but say now you're calling a second function which zeroes our change the balances and then call any culture and burn down here then you have to be concerned that okay Walt all right rhetoric if you call their function they can come in at some point during this execution and run this code Jeff keep in mind it these aren't necessarily exclusive you know they if this is a public function then they can come in and plot it and so if this is you know interacting with the user values and this interactive user gossip they can manipulate that interaction to potentially different self more--the or tokens or what happy oh yeah so we talked about that so don't install that in you don't have pass any gas to the next puncture that you want to avoid that as much as possible don't yeah and then move all of your external calls try to do all of your personal work first in the function and then use the external calls last because that then they can do whatever they they need to do is sort of like a message passing away there was actually some other stuff there's really a finger picked up this I believe is the integer overflow I don't know this is just an example of moving the external call VM so you can see that to withdraw recipient is before the quaint bonuses it means true but so this is another point that's really interesting thing about integer overflow and underflow because humans are through 256-bit why so there's a finite amount of file and there's this is sealing to how big an integer the store and if you go past those boundaries it's kind of undefined that's what happens so it'll actually wrap around basically if you try to you know in this case you try to subtract one off of an unsigned unsigned being it it's not negative it's only a positive it'll base become a very large number you know we're looking all likelihood and so what this attack is this is really interesting is a underflow attack so what the attacker does is open somebody guess I don't know about that oh yeah I'll just run through it so what they did is see bonus growth is in the rank obviously it starts it's like zero there's nothing in there if you pop it first there's there's a problem here in that they're saying both goes blank to fairly zero that's the requirement but this is always true that will never fail and so it'll hit those goes blank plant my bones codes then becomes the cute number and what they can then do is it they they pre calculate where they think this it will be but if you like me there is very well defined where fields are stored in memory it's that specific hashing algorithm that you can use to figure out the memory address and so the attacker could figure out where that in here is location B then likewise 2d raised then down here when you modify this bonus code than index you could actually use a different decks to potentially corrupt the memory if you wanted to so yeah it's a really interesting act and overflow operates the same way I didn't find an example of it but he did something after the one yes yes just then it will you know perhaps it's a little that's a little beyond me though and something else that really comes up a lot with these contract code is like somebody if you're giving them tokens if you get to the eat anything like this is you never push it to them you always let them withdraw if you let them make the call because you don't want you basically don't want to be calling their functions because that opens up a whole new attack vector and that they can then sort of place code potentially to do these ranchman see models or anything like that so always give them a little draw function if they do then pull out of everything uses that out for the lot ball yeah I was wondering well yeah it's like I thought it was more to do with separating function C gonna just blow gas at once was like you create the transactions you could like choose one to do things and let things pile up with it so they can't do this yeah otherwise they would wrap it all together it would be and then when they divide up the money or whatever it could be pushed straight to your accountant small transactions can use does amount of Grandpa oh but even that is not a big deal so we incorporated rack to eat as a payment option in our in our app and it's just a single contract on the network so like anybody can because you know it's a contract and you know it's a verified contract you can call transfer to it you can make calls to it and it's okay and so if you have all these different apps using the same WB contract I mean it's not like they're withdrawing oldest or perhaps they're all be simply feeding into the same contract so it's really not that big a deal once we all agree on which one to use so in this case maker Dow yeah yeah this is pretty thorough yeah yeah this was really interesting because we one of our former members who used to teach the solidity out of here take the pain he had a great way of diagrammatically kind of with like circles and arrows explaining what had happened so I had a strong understanding of the story you know it's a reentry but seeing it matched up like we never actually side-by-side in with the contract wait like how is that getting accomplished so it made it seem a bit magical the pertinent lines yeah it's actually cool the blog post has the addresses that you can look at it's got to be attackers original call number that's awesome it's really important thing to kind of see that see the actual yeah one of my favorite moments from the disaster was when the ins ass locket black group somebody went in there and was like I'm the DAO hacker and I will send certain amount of eath to the first person to say I love the DAO hacker some people I love it and apparently someone was sending out like like I don't know if it was just oh well I can eat whale who is having a good time because it's like that like I know quite a lot of other social side of things this is kind of unnerving like how much how many a potential you know like reentry mistakes you highlight because I already I'm more schooled in the social ikan like crypto economic side of like how people can creatively weasel into something it's like oh my god and I'm not surprised you broke it down pretty thoroughly yeah you know things get even more complicated like even talking about this wrap you contract which we can all y'all make we can trust you know there's a lot of I'm sure you guys have heard about the upgrade ability of contracts that's a real thing now for instance ITT but there's a straightforward way to basically change the code running out of addresses like and so even now you really need to vet the code that's running they're not necessarily because it's in the blockchain because it can change underneath you and you don't even realize it you know so pretend on that's preventable right though like you you have to put that functionality in your cup and put it in so you just need to read the code and make sure it's on that static yeah that it doesn't have that ability yeah well things easier to have like if you're running most things no but you did it that's so good I would love to see any verified correspondence from adele hacker yeah that would be cool like any any part one is that he allegedly gave it wasn't I mean I'm curious about I'm often very vocal in as an educator and being like this is not a hack so I'm curious how you feel about that wording like because a hack is technically I mean in crypto economics puts us into a new realm of what that can mean but I'm kind of bullet like that it is an exploit rather than like he basically played us social engineering I guess I have a son say I don't think of social engineering like creative human actually man you'd like the French security guard to get the codes you know he used the software outside of the intended use of the software for his own game you know that's kind of how I would define it I think because they did not intend that to happen yes I just feel like I was a damn token holder and like we didn't know what would I just have trouble as opposed to like a SAS proper you know I like like traditional software sort of stuff we like the Dow was a dream we all shared I'm not sure what the intent but you're correct like when your guys really being a stickler like obviously no one who wasn't called that's an interesting way to frame it I've been on unnecessary stickler I'm like that hack is like unauthorized entry in a forced way rather than gaming the system in a creative way but I guess that's kind of a subjective it's probably hell yeah yeah like they weren't nice but they didn't do anything technically illegal as far as precedent has led us to understand I feel like someone would have roasted in the corner he tried there yeah yeah he would have put them away you're like most Joey like you know decentralized system or not like that's how it's supposed to work or not like it must be attacked to grow stronger whether or not that through here the guy doing the attacking and people lose 50 million well now they get shut down and they're like well we can't just submit other actions ridiculous they wanted code to just be there forever you know that was not enough mm you know a monolith they want to deploy it wasn't supposed to be which is interesting is there's a lot of projects now which are just there on the blockchain but they're totally meant to be changing moving target you kiddies it's not invite all means law you know yeah it's just running on the blockchain and that was something makes it difficult to defraud you know it also makes it an easy value translator so yeah I don't know it's it's funny there's a lot of there are a lot of different intentions now but some people like even when we deploy the ERC 20 contract the like that contract is gold we're not gonna yeah it's even a standard yeah and also it's also fair to people because you can't upgrade it underneath their feet it just they all will always have those tokens in that contract unless there's some crazy exported foot that's like it you know then they'd all be broken years in twenty it's not it's so such a small yeah what do we do it less than ninety five percent below the previous owners yeah so you know you brought really interesting point shell Chelsea in that games and crypto economic and games will really reveal off the exploits and and something else I want to add that I read elsewhere about to make it our hearts are nothing done the Dow is up that's coming soon there was there it went through a full security on and one of many auditors have about twenty years of security experience like he was he's a smart guy and he was from a smart company and then more than one person on it they they really vetted its things best they could and they didn't catch that problem so it kind of it does make it stronger in a way because you need more eyes on it you know you just need a lot of exposure and maybe that way you know making these very accessible to people so that they could then go explore it would be a worthwhile way to you know that kind of verification system manners to get you yours on it to get you guys reading clothes and finding those exploits accident you know also that's also why it blows my mind that any company or project thinks they can go it alone in a closed source manner like this stuff is like it literally has to be open source because we don't even in open source have enough eyes buddy you know like sequestering things is just going to end up and I love the spirit of sharing I've seen at times like when metallic pointed something out to like the EOS tu was he the spirit of sharing that was what I'm saying he could have just let them fall on their face I feel that some of it is academic rigor on yeah yeah and it's mainly good thread the conversation Fred in github back and forth was pretty productive I think that moves the sort of like ecosystem we need to make no matter how much we disagree on particular pads or whatever that we will be straight up with one another about like oh actually this might be a concern that was a very you know down to you in a weird way is the difference between of the British legal system and the American legal system it's the spirit of the law versus the word the law and the spirit of the law at all its objective you know it's it's like what was the intention of these laws versus like notes of the TD and then up there's precedent so yeah sorry no matter what yeah that's honestly a very interesting comparison as well just because you see different public blockchains behaving like different law systems like the difference between precedent case law and like like I feel like the immutability of the Bitcoin scene is or kind of like how there's so much based on like like like when I was looking into charity law in Canada for example it leans on a bunch of laws from the year 1040 for like specific so it's kind of like something would lay down about what a charity is in Britain at that time and it's held up as a thing rather than the Muta but like the sort of shifting hey maybe as society changes we change the laws around this well I see like Bitcoin in as like communities and I think they should coexist I try to always like remind people that the etherium like the founding aetherium team were fans of figures they weren't like like since then whenever people work they often do it in a huff and I'm like well you guys suck so we're doing this and it's like no as far as I know and as far as I've been told like everybody in general was like no Bitcoin is sound money like this is this is a winner can we do something slightly different and still hold our Bitcoin so it's like that sort of a spirit of you know hey let's not try to be the one thing but rather you know you can still focus in and zero in on your progress but that's interesting yeah the sort of the allowing for the shifting structure of the project versus locking it down you know bitcoins not going to change not easily but I feel like it's that that prioritizing immutability as much as I do it myself prioritizing immutability in that way also lends itself to the sort of religiosity we see around like I don't think me cash could have happened if the Bitcoin frenzy scene wasn't so focused on what is it gospel you know like it can't be changed so what does it mean oh and that leads to interpretations of text whereas aetherium community is like what I most respect about the ecosystem is it's super flexible and everyone's like oh you're working on a thing oh that's super oh you want to you want to scale in that way that's great so it's kind of an expansive of like hey you know do your own solar punk sorry Kathy so yeah any other questions development they are like from one two years ago most of the more recent projects are more like object oriented like this being announced have this platform that allows you to use this well this means a centralized cuz it's here so you can do it in your agency news or website or not but you can also look at herself putting up going to have our user interface so I feel like the arm art or even the other way to have team developing like very exploiting twenty ways of using somebody's it's okay right [Music] boolean system when you're using like key aspects of it is through the centralized finding you again so you can develop something I can pop it by myself and with citizen realize but they're gonna make sure is even better than the meat on the centralized part so it sort of like a free market for that role in whatever economics is the same thing everyone can go on to one of those corners is everyone going to be able to know are a few people going to be able to yes we're going to make the better use case for user interface right who's gonna take that in turned into something that the guys will know the whole deploy are going to go and have a great time using them yeah and now I will comment on during my this description of because it has been copied many times in fact is the most concrete the most coffee we can the very expensive currency and we're gonna add homework we're just going to know yeah yeah maybe anytime you got any final comments did your was awesome thank you so much I'm excited for your stuff give us a teaser and precursor for next week which is about blockchain gaming watch it gaming not it Hey yeah free weekend so we're gonna watch the coder view from the Crypt from proof of weekends it's a decentralized currency built on top material it is based around having strong hands you do not want to have weak hands and you've got to prove it the Prophet Joel pointa is a mean it's like a mean point it's a self-contained point you buy it from the contact whatever you want you sell it back to the contract whatever you want when you buy it it's created when you sell that's destroyed you can transcript now there's a spread between the buying itself so if you buy and then sell right away you're gonna lose a bunch because there's a spread there's a caveat every time you buy hold prices go up every time anyone buys the price of the coin goes up to celebrate centres like this every time anyone sells the entire ecosystem goes down therefore you put one ether in you get one of them next pass a tube for the same about now the scaling is really done well so over time a lot of people buy now what happens to this friend though right well that gets paid out in dividends to all the people who are holding this you have strong hands so as more people buy and the price goes up all of a sudden your ether you put in is now worth two ether sure even point to ether and dividend it's just for free you can withdraw anytime miles up but if you extraña and even if it goes down you still get those dividends so it becomes a game of like it has to go up a certain amount before it's even worth selling and then once it's worth selling because of the spread it takes a while because the scaling it takes a while so at the beginning there was a few hundred Ethernet and they got wife totally took everything so that was lame but they came back with proof of weekends 3d yeah it's like the whole page just means it's like what what picnic is supposed to be you know like basically a provably fare to connect like literally it's pretty provably perfect so yeah so the 3d version is much better the people commented they said you know open-source is great but because of our code because of mobile sourcing our code we have cost people thousands of ether because people just remade the contract with the withdrawal all functions and we redeployed it over and over again and got as many people who felt they missed the boat on the first one that comes into ur like game if the game theory behind like open source and gambling stuff you can just make up use of talk so yeah the price goes up you'll buy the price goes down and dividends holders you have strong hands and keep holding you'll be getting a dividend yeah weekend's you'll regret it and have to come back in and peek the contract held 80,000 ether not include including one withdrawn dividend so is about a little over seventy thousand in it is a peak the scale went from like it went up to about after got hacked is we want the real one the new one 3d version came out the three version went up Capote you know went up the down and then I went up to 20,000 and then it slowly got back down to four and then it jumped up to the 7d and now it's sitting in like 30 or 40 and where it is now like this didn't make sense to self so in the map scales at the bottom you know you have one token price is fixed but the scaling of an angle right it's going to go up over time so when you when you're below the fixed price token line in the scaling process it's it's like this Plus this it's always it's always going to be less than double the price per coin but as the scaling kicks it more the base price stays the same so now it's more than the price is double a double a coin include the scaling it excuse going so how did you get more in the contract price goes up slower like at the beginning I found an ether goes into it it's worth lot more with a lot more but once it starts leveling off and then this this line gets far enough away from the token price you get a technically like a lot there's a line in the middle on the curve we go my air mass is only so nice but as good as my favorite for this kind of stuff the only part that's closed source of this is the redistribution contract so the way the there's that one part of it it's closed I think and that just stopped it funny around but it's still pliable right in the crypt we'll cover way better but yeah so that's that one and then we did do a second game I'm going to look over that quickly exes game about me it's called FOMO 3d for the game where you como in that game you my keys and finish time oh yeah HD adds 30 seconds to the clock to maxing with 24 hours and it goes to zero whoever bought velocity winds but because you're all fighting over the last key it never gets the velocity but somebody did manage to get the last yeah so yeah I'll show you go through all the cool stuff he did see I expect about 50 ether in research and development alright yeah he's like with the whole network dude watch that video yeah we can code walk though there's no one I was going to continue of how somebody won because no one's done it yet apparently there's a couple articles about it but when you go really looking thro the contacts like oh I think you like find like you scum attracting like we deployed this oh it was our winner more days ago you know I long ago now but yeah four days before hearing each other stuff running through it all of that which honestly again as I said earlier like I have not ever been much of a gamer and I've mopped blockchain gaming because we've beamed lots of people in here over the years for talks and up till now watching gaming would look like like you don't want to put most things from a black fan so we've so many times had like Sturkey do I do his interview one saw like that and it's like yeah do Black Hawk and the team is like yeah so halfway through our dev cycle we realized we shouldn't be doing everything on change most of the game is off cam but that's when you're only utilizing like cryptocurrency for micro payments smart congregating is not a thing I would have thought of and I'm also not a gambling man either but it's just so it's so complex and in the same way that public blockchain ears are like like the things that happen things like the doubt they just change the way we realize everything can be done super excited stuff it got me mad hype and yeah like I said I was had I used to mock watching gaming deeply now I am a blockchain gamer or being theory based game theory human behavior selected the key game you'll most people just follow unfortunately but the idea is do you got a judge will enough amplify after me that things they're going to get their money back plus more those of you are coming in from the bottom raising the price and then there's been people that are at the top waiting to just buy the last one well the games go on long enough with people trying to buy the last one where a 5x8 here am i giving the money back probably not if the game's called polo and it's the website exit scam oh [Music] boy now it's too easy too easy do it in what they did and then they took it apart like	mx

WPeaVioY4fY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPeaVioY4fY	Veterinary Drug Regulations Around the World, Part 1: Companion Animal	hi this is uh dr duncan ferguson of the university of illinois and vetement academy i'd like to thank my collaborators from the veterinary educators and pharmacology special interest group dr normandy bendrick verlar and chambers for without their help this project would not have been possible in this series we hope to introduce you to basically the drug regulations that you might expect to see around key parts of the world and uh in doing so we're going to uh go have our guests from web sig basically faculty members from universities in great britain holland colombia and south america and new zealand and then this project will divide our attention logically between companion animals and food animals and in doing so we're going to try to highlight the differences uh that you'd expect in any any given country in region and the management of companion animals versus food animals with regards to drug regulations at the end of each section i'll summarize what we've highlighted during the discussion and this first section is going to be on companion animal drug regulation and practice issues uh around drugs i hope you enjoy it well dr ormandy thank you for joining us and uh we're going to be discussing the uh regulatory issues around the use of veterinary pharmaceuticals uh in the work around the world and i wondered if you tell us a little bit about yourself so we get an idea where you are and and how you got to where you where you are right now yeah thank you very much thank you um emma i am a lecturer in professional and clinical skills at the university of liverpool i graduated from glasgow vet school in 2008 and then was in small animal practice for a few years until i moved to liverpool university to do my master's and my phd which was on antimicrobial resistance and then quickly from a phd i joined the teaching staff at liverpool in my current role yes i'm an um i'm a veterinarian i also still work as an equine certified practitioner mainly in weekends and nights but the main job i have now is an assistant professor in veterinary pharmacology and toxicology and i did my my phd projects also in pharmacology and i specialize so i'm a a member of the european college of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology as well i work now mainly in teaching and do some research as well in our department so involved in the whole in the entire curriculum perhaps relevance for this is that for with regard to antimicrobial use i am also involved in national guidelines for practitioners so in several so for for horses for uh dairy cattle for field cows for a small ruminants so sheep and goats well uh my background is uh basically uh as a toxicologist i did my residency at iowa state and then my uh i that was almost 20 years ago so even though i still keep in touch with these guys you know it's not i'm not really working as a diagnostician as i was there uh here in uh i've been in colombia for about 13 years now and for the most part i've been teaching both pharmacology and toxicology and i i've along the way i have worked in many tropical diseases if you like in uh the cattle fever teak i've done a lot of work on that and lately we've been exploring uh what's going on in antimicrobial resistance which is a huge problem not not only in colombia but i think every everywhere in the world so yeah i mean massey university in palmerston north in new zealand i'm originally a british graduate bristol university without practice for a few years various large animals smaller practice and then went back to cambridge university to be an anaesthetist and i got interested in the pharmacology of aesthetics and arnold using drugs so i went back to bristol do a phd and when i finished my phd i worked for a while as a lecturer in bristol and then came out to massey as a pharmacologist so the moment i do one day work anesthesia and the rest of time pharmacology now as you can imagine new zealand's a pretty small country so the veterinary pharmacologists are pretty thin on the ground so i have to be a jack of all trades from ecologists rather than just analgesic drugs but most of my research is in analgesics but i'm also on various um official committees like antibiotic resistance committees and so on obviously everyone in new zealand knows everyone else at an official level so it's a lot of stuff is done informally um yeah so what i wanted to do is to look at both the companion animal and the food animal side of things and see if we could through examples elicit how a veterinarian might be more or less constrained by the use of their veterinary pharmaceuticals and the first clinical scenario i wanted to talk about was a a dog let's just say it's a seven-year-old miniature poodle with refractory epilepsy and so to start with what would drugs in your country or jurisdiction um in the uk i guess at this point would be what drugs would be allowed to be used for starts so there's three uh licensed or authorized drugs for treatment of epilepsy in dogs phenobarbitone um potassium bromide um it's sodium bromide in in other countries but potassium bromides and mmrp cohen um is also authorized um mf coin is only authorized as a monotherapy uh potassium bromide is only authorized in conjunction with um phenobarbitum treatment so not as a monotherapy here yeah the in the u.s we hadn't seen it but in mepaton until recently it was recently approved um personally i have very little experience with it so but it's like diphenyl hydanton the same kind of class of drugs and interacts with benzodiazepine receptors yeah um so if you uh go down the you know that list and one of the first line drugs that you mentioned was phenobarbital yeah if that drug as a monotherapy is ineffective what what generally do you see and what are what's allowed and what's sort of the process that and decision making that a pharmaceutical agent is chosen in this situation for companion animals so within companion animals uh in the uk and in food producing animals we have um the cascade so any authorized product has to be used before we would move to an unauthorized product so in the case that um monotherapy had been started with being a barbatone and commonly it would then be potassium bromide that could be added to that and if it was then refractory we could consider other drugs and if you're working going to consider adding something like an epitome in that would then be off license and because it's not being used as a monotherapy in that case um so therefore you'd be using it under the cascade so not strictly what it was authorized for so that kind of taking step down in the cascade what we say is there should be we should be using an authorized product for indicated in the species and condition in great britain or uk wide obviously ms towing is authorized there but only as a monotherapy so um it would be stepping down the cascade to a veterinary medicine authorized in the grapes in great britain northern ireland or throughout the uk um kind of for say you can either do it for another species for the same condition or a different condition in the same species but it would come under that loop there because it's slightly different instructions on how you would you should be giving it so you would just have to stay take that step down and obviously it's really really important if you're doing anything like this and you're getting client consent for that client should be aware that you're using something off life um yeah in that regard i was looking at uh there was a systemic review of uh in fact from the uk and i think eu germany um of the anti-epileptic drugs and they sort of showed it at all the drugs you mentioned so far phenobarb amenpitoine bromide and then down the list um levitoracetam um zonicimide and other drugs yeah so you're talking about the latter two for example would be um they're whether they're used doesn't mean they're approved right uh yeah exactly so um basically as i say the order we've got to use and they should be within the youth we have to split the uk currently into great britain and northern ireland because brexit has done that to us and there are slightly different rules for each um but for within great britain um if if you don't have an authorized product then you should look for a product that's authorized in northern ireland for the species and condition and if not then you're looking either uk wide or in great britain or northern ireland separately but it's authorized for a different condition in the same species or the same condition in a different species if you can't do that that's when we can move on to those other drugs the human drugs and so those are authorized in humans so they would just be that next step down um uh levy truster um those are the ones that would come after those first three we're always gonna okay and and so the key to using those drugs that are um off label uh or not in that list would be approval of the owners that they recognize it's all it's extra label use and and probably making sure that you know you have good records record keeping in case something yeah exactly i always tend to say to our students you get consent forms from people but it's not the consent form that shows that you've got informed consent it's a conversation that you have and your clinical records that really detail it yeah yeah okay uh can you think of any other practical or regulatory limits regarding what uh this particular use application yeah i mean other things to think about are obviously if there's other conditions um that are going on that are contraindicated for example being a barbatone and hepatic disease um you know it's because it induces cytochrome p450 and there is increased risk of hepatic injury with that drug so i think just making sure before you start an animal on a drug because that's what is authorized just make sure there's no contraindications there um with other conditions um for sure good medicine good pharmacology yes exactly exactly i think that's a really important thing for students as well is don't just read the dosage on the data sheet when you're looking at a data sheet please do read it or there's a reason why all that information is there for you um and in the uk we have um the veterinary medicines director i have an online database i'm sure it's very similar in the us um of all the authorized drugs and that's the most up-to-date place to be looking for any changes and so if you're ever unsure um go there and and that's really helpful right great um you mentioned the difference between just northern ireland and uh in the main island i guess um you basically eu and what's what what's happening with brexit can you generalize some things that are making this complicated right now and how where do you see it going oh i i think at the moment it's all moving and i think uh a lot of some things um northern ireland still is following the eu um so when we talk about food producing food producing animals as a list there and i would say at the moment at calling it there's a lot of debates in parliament at the moment and i think trying to call what's going to happen is really difficult i would just say currently for prescribing it is just slightly different um if you're going to be using a medicine for example and that isn't authorized in in this case dogs in great britain northern ireland or uk wide and you then move to a human medicine in the uk but for northern ireland um you could do it must be from another eu member state that you you'd have to choose like a drug for animals so um there's more specifics in some ways for northern ireland because they are still following some of the eu rules i think we have uh three registered drugs for this indication the one the one we start normally is uh phenobarbital um so i don't know if we have to get into doses regimens and such but that's you're looking at the types of drugs and of course you need some time to to stabilize uh concentrations to get right dose but then in the end well when it works it works but it doesn't work you could add potassium bromides to the phenobarbital and that's well a bit variable the results with that and the third we have if that's not successful we have uh it's called uh betarine so the partial uh uh gaba uh agonist right and that's relatively new and that's well expensive but it has a lot of advantages in with regard to side effects of course that's the main the first line treatment of epilepsy i think and then we have of course some benzodiazepines to to our other a farmer cartoon to to give when you have a really a bad seizure but it's not a for a longer duration um so these these three would these three would be accept or anything with the adjunct of the benzodiazepines would be accepted um as the sort of the tier of drugs that would be chosen first uh from standpoint of practice and regulate regulatory medicine would a vet say that decided well we can get into that the next step when things aren't working what so what it would happen uh if this drug would say phenobar and potassium bromide were not effective and you had to go down the list to drugs that um were human drugs uh what would a veterinarian do you be allowed to do well you in this scenario you would be i think you would be allowed quite a lot i'm not sure which specific drugs you're talking about but if it isn't a problem to to give the drugs to an owner if that doesn't have the risk of for instance the owner taking it himself or abuse or that kind of things of course we have to think about that but i'm not sure that's for uh anti-epilepsy uh drugs that's often not the case i think so i'm not sure yeah yeah yeah so we have drugs that you know and i'm look i recently looked at a uh um critical review of drugs and they didn't include the ones three that you mentioned um this was the 2014 study of uh out of the eu including i think germany and britain at the time they were in the heal and so um yeah you go down from there they had others like zonicimide and you could get into uh some people would use other other drugs um yeah but penton even you know where would the uh where would the scrutiny come in from uh from the standpoint of regulation regulatory practice uh yeah that's a good question i think yeah that's not really arranged really well i think okay uh for some yeah for for some drugs well it is like opioids those are more uh restricted by law right but gabapentin for instance well i think a lot of small animal practitioners use gabapentin in dogs and cats for several indications and that's well it's allowed if you have a good argumentation right so the we have what it is for the cascade the cascade in law i don't know if you're familiar with that it's quite logical yes no it's a step uh it's it's logical and human medicine are also a possibility when you have the argumentation yeah right and then you have to have the documentation right and then you have to have the uh veterinary patient client agreements in place yeah yes okay um other so from this from a practical or regulatory standpoint there's there are no there's the cascade but then there are no real limits as long as you can make a case that it's a bet it's good practice if you see it in the literature etc yeah and you should be well there should be no risks or for the owner who gives the medication so either with regard to abuse or well side effects or risks for the owner of course but i don't think that's the case here well it uh i think it might be different here than it is in other places but uh pheno phenobarbital is you know is the one that uh most veterinarians will probably uh use as a first line of therapy uh it can be acquired through a narcotic uh well through the national narcotic agency uh which is uh basically uh the one regulating all the control substances uh phenobarb is one of those uh control substances so basically what the veterinarian needs is to uh a prescription pad and then there's uh kind of pharmacies that are only authorized to sell those control substances now having said that the you know the the truth of the matter is what or the reality is is quite different i was uh [Music] kind of interviewing a couple of veterinarians and they say that probably about 80 to 90 percent of uh controlled substances are attained through the through a black black market if you want to call it some way it's kind of a murky marquee business you know you probably don't want to go around uh poking uh too too much because um uh as i say it's it's all kind of uh is probably a mafia-like business in some ways so basically all those all the drugs that are controlled substances that includes phenobarb we have ketamine propofol uh opioids as i say there i was chatting with one of the suppliers and he says that most of them are coming from chile these days and again you know it's kind of a win-win situation for everybody here the veterinarians get those drugs uh twice or three times cheaper then you have uh uh 50 of the population which is informal uh jobs so there are probably a lot of a lot of vendors or suppliers that you know are taking advantage of that uh and uh the regulatory agencies you know they probably probably look you know the other way they don't really want to get you they don't really want to crack down on that business so let's go into the next phase of this and that let's say that that uh animal is is not responding well to phenobarb and you need to get into other drugs um what first of all what drugs would be available how would they get them you know what what do you think would happen there i i was checking with uh as i say a few veterinarians that i i was i work with because they're interested on on doing some research and they say that most of the uh other drugs that you might use uh can be easily attained through most pharmacies so which ones would those be uh potassium bromide uh capra tyracitam yeah yeah yeah gavoline uh gabapentine uh so uh if you want to use those as a nutrient you know to phenobar uh you you can find those easier easier than phenobar yeah and when i yeah when i visited south america and actually colombia um you you know you notice pharmacies and a lot of different corn a lot of places there's a lot of small pharmacies um so that that's um presumably where they get where they go to at that point okay um so would there be any practical what are the most common practical reasons for going beyond what we just talked about uh or even going to that level for veterinarians in colombia is it cost is it regulations you know availability of drugs what do you think yeah well probably most veterinarians though don't want to go through the hassle of uh you know registering with the uh national narcotic agency uh they have to pay for the you know for uh the prescription pad or notebook whatever you wanna and as i say you know they can get the control substances for a much lower price than if they go through the legal legal route so they say there are no really regulatory limits uh because everything is kind of you know so you don't think the enforcement there's not enforcement uh that you've been able to discern okay that's obviously an issue yeah the veterinarians they talked to they didn't say that you know the the regulatory agency uh you know is really it doesn't show up to the better to the clinics so um do you want to give us an overview of you know how the regulatory scene looks uh say compared to what you know about the rest of let's say uk for example yeah or eu yeah the um new zealand has got some strange quirks here um so basically the human medicine scene is uh almost entirely cut and paste from the british legislation so the medicines act and the misuse of drugs act are very very similar to british before eu days that new medicines are controlled under a separate act which wasn't really thought through at the time so there's a lot of gray areas a lot of areas where people make policy now the vets in new zealand are regulated by the veterinary council and they've got a very comprehensive um bit in their guide to professional conduct which sets out the expectations for vets and that fills in a lot of the gaps in the law so basically the law is pretty permissive um as long as vets it relies on vets using a discretion to do things properly so in the united states for example as long as there's an identified on a particularly companion animal basis there's the veterinary patient client relationship uh in there uh veterinarian has some leeway is what you're indicating with regards to making best evidence decisions yeah so the the animal has to be under the care of the vet and that for canadian animal that would mean having seen the animal done an examination and made a decision about what the best treatment is now the best treatment is left pretty well up to the vet there are some guidelines but they're fairly vague and that's kind of where they've got a good excuse so for instance um the more likely there is to be a problem um for instance want to use some antibiotics or something like that you'd have to have a very good justification but as long as you've got that justification you can do it now that's actually that's the more leeway in new zealand than human general practitioners have so they have to refer those sort of cases to infectious diseases specialists in the hospital whereas vets can just try and obtain the drugs and give them to their animals if they can justify it right it sounds more like the united states from the standpoint of the freedom to make the decision if you can provide the evidence or you can show it it doesn't even have to be the kind of evidence of you and i as pharmacology sometimes except it just simply has to be out there and being used by you know you can demonstrate it's being used um that seems a in distinction is what we heard from our colleague uk for example where there's a there's a hierarchy of uh choices uh we've got a watered-down version of the cascade system um but it's it's much more open so a lot more is left to the vet's discretion in our version okay well let's talk about the specific scenarios uh that i forwarded to you uh the first being a small animal one which is sort of uh initially starts as a routine treatment of uh seven-year-old miniature poodle with uh epilepsy well i get again most sets would not start at the uh the best place from a legal point of view so there are really only two registered for veterinary use in new zealand that's a nephatone and diazepam obviously um diazepam wouldn't be suitable for chronic use not a mepitone is very expensive here so most vets will actually use human phenobarb off label it's the cascade system says if there is a veterinary product available which meets the animals treatment needs then that should use it but it doesn't insist that vets have to use it so um as long as vets can come up with a reason why they should use phenobarb rather than metatone they're not largest just say it's cheaper somebody's because it's cheaper so you've got some sort of scientific reason and i said most animals would probably start off infinibarb and then get put onto an episode if the thin lab doesn't work properly so let's say this animal has some uh refract as a refractory condition what where does it veterinarian where are they allowed to go in terms of choosing drugs that aren't on those two amongst those two um well all of the other ones um are human drugs so the um there's a fair selection in new zealand the current trendy one at massey is the veto acetone and it's quite expensive and um again it's it's basically human drug being used off label now the medicines act here allows vets to prescribe human drugs for animals under their care so it's not a huge problem um but as i say the the veterinary council says we should apply the cascade but if the animal hasn't responded to a methodolon properly then vets can pretty well do what they want now some vets will use bromide as well but bromide is not available um either in human or veterinary form so vets have to compound it themselves which raises all other legal questions so a brief summary of the drug regulations for companion animal medicine around these selected countries around the world the uk regulations prescribe specific and comprehensive cascade of approved drugs that are allowed for use and then allow drugs approved for same species different condition or different species same condition before moving on to what they consider broader extra label use the european union requires veterinary approved drugs first within the country then a choice is possible from veterinary approved drugs in other eu countries before off-label use which has to be highly documented in new zealand the cascade system is a little looser with veterinary drug acts outlining um something looser than the universe in the united kingdom allowing best evidence justification of off-label use of human drugs and in colombia the veterinary drug use is less restricted by enforcement and impacted by the common extra legal practice of importation of entry drugs from other countries	VetMedAcademy	UCBNZpW0KzepBJgHXooK7SZA	2022-02-04	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	4,668	25,185

5alJLxYDaQQ	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5alJLxYDaQQ	Parasite-Troopers series: Estimating helminth burdens using sibship reconstruction by Inês Neves	hi everyone my name is ines i am a phd student at the royal veterinary college and i'm going to talk to you about my research project my research focuses on schistosomiasis which is a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic worms called schistosomes these can also be called blood fluids this disease affects has affected people for thousands of years and currently affects more than 230 million people worldwide the majority living in sub-saharan africa this disease has a very complicated life cycle so in humans it involves humans snails and water bodies and this makes it really hard to get rid of this disease people become infected by swimming in contaminated waters and once you are infected the adult worms live for many years inside the blood vessels near the intestine or the bladder then these adult worms expel eggs to the external environment through feces or urine of infected individuals although there isn't still a vaccine for schistosomiasis there is an effective drug that kills the adult worms and the world health organization has targeted this disease for elimination as a public health problem through mass drug distribution of this drug mainly targeted at school-aged children so my project is about using genetic data for estimating schistosome warm burdens so what i mean for schistosome burdens i mean that we want to estimate the number of worms that are infecting an individual and this is important because the severity of the symptoms that you have from this disease will depend on the number of worms that are infecting you so symptoms can can range from urinary to intestinal but in more chronic infections they can lead to organ damage and cancer so it's really important to know how many worms are affecting individuals also the more worms you have the more you will contribute to the disease transmission which is also important however we know that we cannot collect the worms from infected individuals since they live inside the blood vessels but what we can do though is to collect the eggs which are expelled to the external environment so if we collect the examples by analyzing the genetic data of the eggs and the sibling relationships between the eggs we can reconstruct the their parentage and have an idea of the number of worms that are infected infecting an individual using shipshape reconstruction which is a method that you can use to find this however this method will only give you a rough idea of the number of worms that are infecting an individual because it will depend on the number of offspring samples which in this case are the eggs that you take so for example if someone is infected with six worms or worm pears and you want to know how many worms are infecting this individual but you only collect two eggs so if you only if these eggs are not siblings from collecting these two eggs you will only find two mothers and two fathers so two warm pairs so you will you will miss out on four warm pairs of this individual so we developed a statistical model that accounts for this bias and uncertainty and we applied it to data of shisozomi infected children in tanzania so here in this plot you can see that um in we show how important it is to uh how important offspring sample sizes are for the precise estimation of the number of worms that are affecting an individual so in this what each dot corresponds to one infected children and you can see that if we look at the yellow dot in these children the number of offspring sampled was very high so and these children has a very narrow confidence interval which means that this result will be much more reliable than on the other hand in the purple case where the confidence intervals are very wide and the number of offspring samples was very uh was smaller so this shows the importance of offspring sample size to use in sip shift reconstruction and this model can also be used for the inter interpretation of genetic data collected during l-mean control programs and could even be adapted to other parasite species so i would like to thank you all for listening and i would like to thank rbc for funding my project as well as my phd supervisors and dr charlotte gower for uh providing us access to the tanzanian dataset you can find out more about our paper in the link below and you can also use our user-friendly web application to explore the model functionalities without needing to code thank you [Music] the main reason that inspired me to pursue a degree in science was that i really liked science subjects at school i particularly liked biology but other reasons were that you can have a positive impact on people's lives using science and also because it's intellectually challenging for me and you can have a variety of job opportunities afterwards what i enjoy most about my current research is that i can apply my background in veterinary medicine whilst learning new things about quantitative epidemiology and infectious disease modeling and statistics and that means that i learn new things all the time and makes it really intellectually challenging and exciting for me and also as a whole i really enjoy the process of getting data and analyzing the data interpreting the results and also communicating the results to an audience the model presented in this research project could be used to investigate certain aspects of the population biology of schistosomiasis and that's actually what we are working on at the moment and yeah that's the paper that we are finishing now i still don't have any specific next steps but i know that i would like to continue working within the fields of quantitative epidemiology and infectious diseases so specifically for anyone wanting to pursue a phd i would advise to try it out first and see what research is really like and that could be done through internships you know in a lab that you really enjoy or you could do a master of research or even work as a research assistant before you commit to a long-term degree like a phd and also when you are applying for positions or phds don't let self-doubt stop you because you might never know if you got if you might get the position	JoWebster_Group	UCS7vL5VfqzVeVqeKTL3lGLA	2020-09-02	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,083	6,158

Let me now turn things over to Mr. Bill Fischer, the acting director of ISOO, as well as the acting Chairman of the NISPPAC. - Bill Fisher: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the 71st meeting of the National Industrial Security Program Policy Advisory Committee. I'm Bill Fischer, the acting director of ISOO. I'm also the director of the National Declassification Center at the National Archives in my permanent position. I will now turn it over to my designated federal officer, Heather Harris Pagan. - Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I'll now begin attendance of the government members. I will state the name of the agency, then the agency members will reply by identifying themselves. Once I've gone through the government members, I will then move over to the industry members. After the industry members, I will then proceed to the speakers ODNI? Lisa Perez present. Thank you. DOD - Is Jeff Spinnager. Good morning. - Good morning. DOE. - Natasha Sumpter's, present. Thank you. - Thank you. NRC. - Good morning, everybody. Dennis Brady present. - Thank you. DHS - Rich Dejacerand present. - Thank you. DCSA. - Matthew Roche.- Thank you. CIA. - This is Don. I'm present. - Thank you. Commerce. DOJ, NASA. - Good morning everybody. This is Vaughn Simon for NASA. - Thank you. NSA? State? - Heather. Heather, can you hear me? Yes. Matt Armstrong will not be at this meeting. - Thank you. Air Force Annie Backus, department of the Air Force. Thank you, Navy. - Dr. Andrew Jones. Primary Robin Nichol. Alternate. - Thank you. Army. - Good morning, Laura Actom. - Thank you. Now I'm going to turn to the industry members. Ike Rivers - Present. - Thank you. Derek Jones. Tracy Durkin, - Present. - Thank you.

For the record, for ISOO telework status update starting in December, ISOO staff will be limited to Teleworking no more than six days a pay period. I want to remind the government membership of the requirement to annually file a financial disclosure report with the National Archive and Records Administration Office of General Counsel, before a government member may serve on the NISPPAC and annually thereafter. This must be done the same form for financial disclosure that is used throughout the federal government. OGE Form 450 satisfies the reporting requirements. If there are questions, please reach out to me. Additionally, we have had a few changes to the NISPPAC membership as <inaudible>. During the last meeting, our prior chairman and director of ISOO Mark Bradley was retiring this summer, the Department of the Navy's primary member, Christopher Krislip, has been replaced by Dr. Andy Jones Laura Ogden is the new Army alternate member. State Department's primary member, Kim Bogger and her alternate Mike Hawk retired and has been replaced by Kim Colon and Janice Custer Lezarchic. Our new industry members are Doug Edwards and Kathy Andrews replacing Heather Sims and April Abbott. Heather Sims was also the industry spokesperson to the NISPPAC and has been replaced by the current NISPPAC member, Ike Rivers. For those departed members, thank you for your contributions over the years. We look forward to continuing the work you have done with the new representatives. I will now address the items of interest from the June 5th, 2023 NISPPAC public meeting. The NISPPAC minutes from the last meeting. Were certified to be true and correct, and were finalized by me on September 1st, 2023, and were posted to the ISOO website on September 6th, 2023 on October 5th, 2023. The ISOO Joint notice with the Small Business Administration discussing their regulation combining their Mentor protege program was issued. It re relates to joint ventures. Please see ISOO joint notice 2024 tax zero one. Do any NISPPAC members have any questions? Ms. Evans? Is anyone raising their hand on the phone line or sent a question via chat? - We did get a message, that DOJ was present, Matthew Crowson and John Skinner, but other than that, there are no questions. Again, you may press pound two on the phone or click the raise hand icon in WebEx. - Okay, thank you. At this time, we will now introduce our, introduce our speakers for their updates. Mr. Ike Rivers, the NISPPAC Industry spokesperson, will provide the industry update. Ike, - first and foremost, thank you, Mr. Fischer, for hosting this meeting. industry NISPPAC looks forward to the collaboration that will come from this meeting. before we get started, I, I want to say something that's very near and dear and sincere to me. most of you know that the last month, right after I, was elected to be the spokesperson, I, I, lost my mother. I want to thank this group of folks, because many of you that are on this call reached out and sent flowers, prayers, and thoughts to my family. during the passing of my mother. I want you to know that it has really helped us during these difficult times, and it all shows showed me that our secure community is not only passionate about what we do in a community, but passionate about each others. So, thank you very much for uplifting me and my family. We will never forget this. secondly, I'll, as, Heather said, I want to thank, our outgoing NISPPAC members, Heather Sims and April Abbott for their tremendous job they did during their tenure. and in speaking of Heather Sims as a spokesperson, everybody will agree that she was definitely a pillar, for the industry and help open doors that were closed. industry NISPPAC will continue to lean on both of them for their guidance and the expertise that they've provided over the years. also wanted to pass on a welcome to our newest members, Kathy Andrew, Northrup Grumman, and Doug, Doug Edwards from Raytheon. They both bring the wealth of knowledge, to this already awesome industry NISPPAC team. Before I jump in and to, to talk about a few items, I just want to say that the partnership between industry and government on all levels is steadily. And when I say steadily, steadily moving in an upward motion, we are constantly climbing this ladder when it comes to this partnership, which is tremendous and great for our great, nation and national security. The collaboration has been awesome. Now, although sometimes we agree to disagree, the outcome has been all about what is best to protect this great country. So thank you all. Thank you all for your continued partnership, and we look forward to our continued growth to this strong partnership. One of the things that industry NISPPAC would love to see moving forward is going back to the face-to-face meetings between ISOO, the CSAs, and Industry NISPPAC. If there is anything that industry NISPPAC can do to help facilitate this request, please just let us know. I think we think that this would be great for everybody. industry NISPPAC just has a few items that we want to address today. I'll address these items and then I will open it up for any of the other industry NISPPAC members for additional comments. first item is the 8 4 7 FOCA mitigation industry. NISPPAC is cautiously optimistic about the 8 4 7, FOCA mitigations obligations, and we're looking forward to seeing and hearing a government plan. Industry NISPPAC is also willing to review and circulate their plans to give the industry side, of the changes to the acquisition process. guidance such as Open ISLs, continue to be, an in an issue for industry. there's still a few that are out there, that is two and a half years old. Industry is looking to see if there will be a better vehicle to get policies and implementation information out. getting a more accurate timeline will definitely be helpful to us. we all know, that NBIS is four letters that have been on our minds here for several years, but just came true to surface here recently as of one October. we are moving forward with the NBIS transition, but we do have a few challenges with the report process for large companies. Now, industry NISPPAC and DCSA are working hand in hand. DCSA, Vero, and NBIS team on this resolution understand without reports, it makes validating records extremely difficult. IE personnel reports have to understand. Without that report, it will be extremely hard to know who is who and what is what in the company. this poses a problem, for not only Vero, but for industry and the different services. mind you, these large companies, you know, that has five to 10 K folks, you know, that's really, really hard for those companies, to, to see what is, what the smaller companies won't have, as, as, as a much problem as a large company. Although those problems still exist with the small companies. with the continued communication, we have been struggling, with getting clear details information, from sites such as the DCSA websites on, implication, - implementation procedures, system changes in a timely manner. Now, we have been working and with continue to work with DCA DCSA with expanding on more communication avenues. we do need to ensure that all communications are filtered down, not only for the large companies, but for the, the small mom and pop companies as well. that information is critical, to those small companies, yes, the large companies as well. But I think a lot of times we forget, that we have those small companies out there. we have to, whatever we do as far as this communication piece, we need to make sure that it's easy and readily available for everybody to make things easier. what I'd like to do now is, just to say that we industry NISPPAC, we are here to help. We're here to facilitate. We we're here to, to do whatever it is possible within our means to collaborate to make things better. So if there's ideas out there from ISOO to CSAs, anything that we can do to collaborate together, please let us know. The doors are open, we want them to stay open. We cannot do this alone. our adversaries are getting stronger and stronger in every day, and we collectively have to stick together, we, our team together, to, to, to fend them off on a daily basis. what I like to do now is open it up to the rest of the industry NISPPAC members to see if there are any additional comments. - Hey, hey. Do you mind if I go first? This - David? Yes. Who? Yes. - Okay. good morning everyone. And, like I said, be I would love to be in person doing this, and I think we all feel the same way. question I have this morning is in reference to the insider threat, the whole insider threat process with industry and government. And, and one of the, and, and this is a, I wish we were in person, but this is a question, not a finger pointing, event. I hate, I hate not, not meeting in person, but we have, the question is, this is, and we've, you know, we've, I know this drum beat's been drum before, is, information sharing on incidences with, people, our, you know, contractors back and forth, stuff that DCSA is aware of or other, other government agencies aware of. They don't, don't share with us. You know, you know, it's reference to the briefing that we had in, with the ManTech situation, with the, shooting at one of their facilities with information that was not received or, communicated. And again, this is not a finger pointing. This is just, you know, requests. It ha as, you know, it handcuffs industry a lot. everyone's concerned about something like this happen again. so my question to you all is, you know, how to help us better our facilities, our companies protect ourselves and protect you. All we have government contractors going to government is, is there any progress been made or any attempt that's, you know, it's going forward. You know, there's a lot going on in reference to information sharing between industry and government. - Hey, someone's responding. Their line may be muted. - Hey, good morning. This is Jeff Spinnager. I'm sorry. and, I, I think the, the hesitation in going on, is, is more a function of, of, of, like I said, virtual, virtual challenges and not trying to step on anybody. So, wanted to wait a moment there, just to clear the calm. So, so that's my way of saying I absolutely agree and, and, and hope that, this is the last of the virtuals. although I, although my, I do like the shoes I'm wearing better than the ones I would have to wear in person, <laugh>, <laugh>. So, but hey, yeah, <laugh>. Amen. so one, I, two things I have to say. the first being, I, I'm, I'm, I love the fact that there's a question, you know, frequently. and I think, again, as a byproduct of us being virtual, these, these, meetings that tend to be, transmit only, and, and not a discussion. So, so happy for any question, even if it's a hard one, which this one certainly is. and so, to, with that in mind though, and, and I'll, I'll get into this a little bit more, in, when, when, when I provide my remarks. But, information sharing, you know, sharing, you know, is, is is has definitely been a byproduct of, of a number of the challenges that we've experienced over the last, six months. The problem is, of course, been much longer than that. there are some plans in work right now, to, to, to attempt to, reprise what had been done several years ago, which is to tabletop, this, to, to understand, what, what information elements, are required to be shared. And then addressing the hurdles, in sharing, you know, you know, a piecemeal that is very much in the nascent stage. if I could, put ourselves on notice here, I'm, I'm happy to, to be phoning a friend here later today to my battle buddy, Jill Baker, who leads this up for, for us in DOD. find out where we are in the planning, and then, and maybe, kick this over to, to, to a working group one, to, to give you all an update on what we are proposing in terms of trying to tabletop this at a, at a policy layer, and, and not continue to kind of grind on it at the, at the execution layer, right? Which is, maybe something that we've, have been attempting with, with not a lot of success over the last, yeah, well, for, for quite some time, over. - Hey, hey, Jeff. Hey, Jeff. This is Ike. I really, really, we really, really appreciate that, right? Because it's, it's, it's something that the, the industry, acts all the time, you know, from the different agencies, you know, because we all know that each agency does their, you know, has a, a small portion of, you know, the things that they do that are different. And, and, and it'd be helpful. because most of us have companies, right? That, that are involved in most of those agencies, right? And, and, and, and that information sharing will help us get our folks through lines and processes and a lot faster. And in this particular case, it could, it could help and save lives for that particular matter. So that information sharing is extremely important. And, and your, and you coming on, helping us try to navigate that and, and, and pass on that open communication to the industry will really, really help. so thank you very much for coming on and saying, and, and, and presenting that. is there anybody else from the industry, NISPPAC members that would like to add an additional comment? - Yes. I, this is Jane Dinkel. Thank you for the floor. And hello everyone. I really wanted to mention reciprocity and, in general, I wanted to acknowledge the success that we've had in the area of personnel security clearance, reciprocity. There are a few challenges that continue, but in general, we do consider this an overall success story. and we'd also like to see similar progress in the area of 7 0 5 standards and physical security requirements, implementation for special program areas from agency to agency. So maybe we can add that to our work plan going forward to try to achieve the same level of success. - Thanks, Jane. Anybody else from Industry? NISPPAC? Well, Heather, I think that is it for the team. I do want to leave with just thanking, everybody on all avenues. the services, the government, everybody that has been involved with this partnership, it is getting stronger and stronger. And the more that we collaborate and get together, we just strengthen this great nation to be in a position, to do great things and to be able to shield ourselves from anything that the adversary throws at us. again, whatever industry NISPPAC can do to continue to foster this great relationship, please just let us know. And we're, we're there, that is all from the industry side. - Thank you, Ike. Candace, do we have anything in the queue? - We have one person who's raised their hand. Greg Panoni, please go ahead, - Greg, you are muted. - Hold on one minute. Mr. Panoni. - I, - Now can you re can you restart, please? - Sure. Greg Panoni, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, and I hope I'm not outta line, but can you hear me? - Yes, we can. Hello. - Okay. and, and I think Ike Rivers really said it, but the overarching concept of partnership and collaboration, really appreciate what Jeff said about, you know, in the area of information sharing, looking at a tabletop exercise. But, but what, what I wanted to really say in, in the context of all that, with the collaboration and, and, addressing critical challenges for, to put a plug in if my industry colleagues agree, to invite industry in as early as possible in the process. So, the example of the tabletop, I think, inviting industry into a tabletop exercise, to, provide input on what the critical information that from the industry perspective would be, most necessary and useful would be an example of, of that, what I'm trying to convey, and perhaps not in a very articulate way. so that was all I wanted to, to mention. Thank you. - Alright. Thank you, Craig. Ms. Evans, anyone else in the queue? - There's no further people in queue. - Okay. Thank you, Mr. Jeff Spiner, the director for K School Technology Protection for the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security will give the update on behalf of D dod as a NIST executive agent. Jeff, - good morning. Thank you very much, Heather. good morning everyone. thank you very much for the opportunity, to, to participate in this. before I begin my formal remarks, I, I, I just want to start by, by, by offering, some echoes to, to, to some of what I shared earlier, both in, in wishing well, and, and, and congratulating, Keith, Heather, and April on there, six, completing their successful tenure. what's interesting is, I, I think in the beginning, Mr. Fischer, you mentioned that there have been 71 NISPPAC, public meetings. I'm pretty sure that Keith has been at all of them, and, and has spoken at all of them. So we're going to try to figure out a way to entice him to, to chime in from, the cheap seats today. but his stewardship, and the, and the, and the strong partnership that, you know, that, you know that he had, and maintained, along with, you know, that, that Heather and April, and, and frankly so many others, you know, has, is, is something that, that we're all challenged. Those of us who, who remain, you know, on the committee, you know, are challenges to, to capitalize on their great work and, and continue to expand it. so, so with that, I would say, then welcome Mike, Kathy and, and Dr. Edwards. I want to make sure I get that right. Very happy to have you joining us. our phones are always open, and, we are better for the collaboration, always. So, so I want to say thank you, on that, on that front. definitely want to offer a, an echo, to something else that, that Ike said, with, with advocacy of the face-to-face, right? So the, the awkwardness of the exchange from earlier today, I just kind of highlights it, but, but also gives some promise. it was, it was great to have a couple, you know, questions and some, some, some level of conversation, such as we're able to muster, when we're all distributed all over the place. and so I think that's great. But I also think, there's an opportunity before I, before I dive in here, to highlight, again, something else, that we, that Ike mentioned. and it, and it does speak to formality, right? So that, that flow of information, you know, particularly, you know, you know, while we, we tend to spend a lot of time is, you know, with, you know, and, and are, are greatly connected both through, you know, the NISPPAC, the, various associations that are out there, great connections, great partnerships that are absolutely invaluable with, with those larger companies. you know, I, I do, take to heart, what, what Ike mentioned, you know, about ensuring that we are, you know, we're able to cast them as wide as we can possibly make it, you know, to, to be able to reach, you know, those, the, the, the, kind of what are the meat of the, industrial security program, which are, are companies that are, are, are small in size, you know, those are, the engine, that everyone relies on. I hear that all the time. not, not always, frankly, as a as a function of, of conversations on industrial security. but on, things like supply chain resilience, you know, NDS Im National Defense Strategy imperatives, you know, that, that, that, that absolutely underscore the, the, the, the essential nature of a, of a vibrant, supply chain for the department, and, and national security mission spaces. so all that a little ally, is a, it's a bit of an endorsement of the face-to-face, but it's also of the formality that comes with NISPPAC, right? you know, I'm, I'm reminded anytime we do the prep here, that everything we say is on the record. And on the record is, is absolutely essential, because that's where accountability comes from. So, there's no shortage of collaboration as, as is already been mentioned. And, and I'm sure we'll continue to be mentioned and highlighted in some of the great work that I think is going to be reflected across the balance of the agenda. But it's that on the record piece of this thing that I, you know, as I, you know, contemplate my own tenure, that I think allows us to move forward, and, and, and take very challenging, contentious issues. we're, where sometimes we're not all fully aligned, but when we're able to, we're expected to, to bring them, bring them to light, put them the discussion, and then follow up on them, you know, through the stewardship of, ISOO and the NISPPAC, then we get that we make forward progress and we get things done. and so with that, you know, in, in considering, you know, an in-person, you know, for future NISPPAC, I hope we will revisit, and, and I I can't miss the opportunity to mention as I have over the last step, several, public meetings, the need for, probably increasing the, possibly increasing the frequency also for the, on the record, no disrespect to the working groups, but it's the on the record stuff that, that holds us all to task, and we're all able to measure, our progress, I and, and, and note our challenges, and then work through them. So, with that, I'm happy for the opportunity to provide some updates on, you know, a number of, you know, of, of those, same kinds of areas, where we have some, some kind of weighty issues that we're working on. and I'd like to provide some updates on that. the first one, first and foremost, and, is, is with respect to, the, the ability to use cloud, services in support of, NISP requirements. as many of you're aware, we have worked through several instances of direct contractor use of, commercial cloud services to support, DOD contracts that require, you know, access, and, and utilization of, classified information as cloud becomes more prolific, in the NISP. And that, that, that is a bit optimistic at this time. But, but we are, the gear is actually beginning to rotate, which is, I think, absolutely essential. we are aware that there are continuing questions regarding requirements for how, to go about, noting the permissibility for, for the use of commercial cloud services on, on DOD contracts, to that end. and with the tip of the hat to some, some strong industry advocacy from, from several companies, you know, who have many, many classified systems, you know, that, that are used to support, you know, the department customers across the, across the defense enterprise. we have engaged with, with our counterparts, on the acquisition side of things, and the office of the Undersecretary of Defense for acquisition and sustainment, to obtain some clarity on, on a couple of legacy DFAR clauses that relate to cloud. And I'm not going to rattle off the numbers here. most of you are familiar with them. we are, we are looking to - codify. We, we originally, and aspirationally, you know, attempted to see if we could rescind them, say they were maybe overcome by events, that is, that is, proved to be, maybe a bri - a bridge too far. And there's, there's some, some reasonable contracting reasons for that, that I, I'm not going to embarrass myself and try to explain in a public forum. but suffice to say, I understand, on the other hand, they, we, we have gotten a greater guidance, from our acquisition partners, that the, they don't actually present an impediment at all. There's, there's, some clarifying, there's some clarification that's necessary, and that's something that we're working through right now. the first and foremost, you know, a way that this will be, observable to, NISP members will be through, the issuance of an industrial security letter. it's, almost done. I, I don't, I'm not a big forecast person, but we'll put ourselves out there. I'm, I'm optimistically I'd like to see that. I'd like to say that we will, we will see it, before it turns to, 2024 on the calendar, that, that's certainly, within the realm of the possibility. but it'll be the first one outta the chute for us. issue an industrial security letter under the, the, what is it for us? A new process, mindful of, of the NISPOM as a federal rule, but we think it's the right one to move forward with because it's a, it's a pretty present issue. and so we, we will get that done here, here in, in relatively short order. And I think that will make some headway. that's not going to get us done, though, not, not, not by a long shot. We're also working, you know, very closely with, with, our counterparts at DCSA and, and across the components regarding, to come up with common, acceptable documentation. we think that 2 54 is the right place, for this, for, for all the reasons that the, DB 2 54 exists. and, we're, we're looking to kind of streamline that. So, to, anticipate, you know, some consistency as, as requirements for commercial cloud services, will, you know, continue to grow. And on this last point, and with the tip of the hat to, frankly, to Keith, Minard, you know, we were, chatting earlier in the week, and he, he proposed a, a simple, but in my estimation, brilliant, you know, additional step that we can take. that, that one creates some affirmation of the, of the authorization to use commercial cloud services, but also something we can get done pretty fast. And that is, without modifying the form itself, but, but rather aiming at modifying the instructions, that, that attend the form, all the fine print, that, that sits in those, in those back pages, and noting the, the permissibility of commercial cloud services within the instructions, will be an important step. And so, again, you know, noting the dangers of forecasting, I think it's a, it's a useful exercise to do this in this forum and say that, we will, we will endeavor to, to move pretty fast on that front. Not quite ready to put a specific timeline to that, but I think it can be, quite, quite aggressive. And so all of those are, you know, to me represent a, a lot of, forward progress. And, and this particular issue is, I think, a pretty good example of the value of NISPPAC, because, it has, we have been on the record as we've taken this journey. It has been an absolute partnership. we would not be where we are, but for, some, some active participation from a number of companies, you know, who are willing to, take on some risk, and uncertainty, to work with, the government, and, and get us to where we are today. So we're not done yet, but, but we are, we are definitely closer than we have been. so, the, the next one, and, Ike touched on this one. I'm glad you did. and that was, the discussions related to 8 47. just, just a level set a little bit. Oh, sorry. Hello. - We can hear you. - Okay. so, 8 47, if, if there was one part of my remarks where maybe it would be great if you didn't hear me, it would be this one. and I'm kidding, of course, but the, just, just the level set, not not sure who, who, who in the audience, is completely, aware, but 8 47, you know, comes to us from public law, one 16 dash 92, and expanded and extends requirements for FOCI, modeled after, what, what, all the companies in the industrial security program are familiar with. It applies to companies who seek to perform on DOD contracts or subcontracts with a value in excess of $5 million, including those contracts for which all the requirements required work is unclassified, requires DCSA specifically to conduct a FOCI assessment and possibly mitigate risks to FOCI of covered contracts for inclusion in the acquisition decision process. This po the policy, we're mindful of timelines on to this point, right? That is a, that is a major change in, although modeled after, you know, NISP requirements for FOCI. it's that pre-award, aim point versus, the post-award process that we're all familiar with, that, that has caused us to be, quite deliberate as we, as we move forward. but at the same time, in, in saying that this is a major and, and important shift in assessing the, the department supply chain in a pre-award versus post-award matter. And, and, and again, it's, it's, you know, echoing some of, what Ike said earlier, it's representative of the, you know, evolving nature, of the threats we face, you know, to deliver, war fighting capabilities that we can rely on, God forbid but we need them. so with that, mindful of that, that pre versus post, we, we have been quite deliberate in this, have reported this out before we continue to do that. the policy work that we're doing today, is in its, final stages, right? To, to be quite candid, we are literally down to one unresolved, issue within the policy document, which is, a, a tremendous accom, accomplishment, that tip of the hat to Alison Rendella, from my team for her doggedness. Laura Agdon was working with her up until the summer, and then, ditched us for the Army. And now Glenn Clay, who's just recently joined us, from the Navy, but they're, we're, we're in, the home stretch here, having to write some words, to, to, to pass some legal muster. But we're feeling reasonably optimistic about where that leaves us. This gets to the meat of the matter. And I think the request that, was perfectly reasonable and, and I think will be very helpful, you know, that came in, you know, Ike that you mentioned, which is the, the opportunity for, for being able to understand, you know, what the rulemaking, that will come, that accompanies, you know, a, a shift of this type. and that's, that's pending. So we'll take an action out of this, call today. you know, in addition to what I mentioned earlier with, with respect to insider threat information sharing. but we'll, we'll take an action to go back and, and work with our ANS counterparts, because the rulemaking should begin to move forward here in, in, in earnest, we have aimed for, what, what in policy, parlance is referred to as legal sufficiency review. we are, we are possibly one email away from that process beginning. and this is where then we begin to parallel pro parallel track, into the rulemaking phase of this, which is, you know, which will necessitate, you know, certainly awareness by, industry, our industry partners, but al also, and, and more importantly, understanding, so we can all move forward and, and achieve what was expected and, you know, by the, the purpose of the law in the first place. So, so with that, we think that that's probably, again, something that, that we'll bring to, the clearance working group, if that would be the right one. Allison just told me, and I can't remember what she said, so if I got that wrong, I apologize, but, nonetheless, we'll, we'll be bringing that here. we're, we're, we're just about at that point. Switching gears. another, another topic of some, some contentiousness, that, that continues to play out. And that's with respect to, the joint ventures, small business joint ventures. And so, with the tip of the hat and a thank you to ISOO for publishing a notice on small business, you know, the, and guidance on the small business federal rule, we're, we're happy to have that. It represents some, some, some progress on the issue. It's pretty complex. I, I, again, with a, with a measure of candor, I've read the, the guidance several times, and it, it's helpful, in subsequent readings. we think we understand the intent, ultimately for the department. We think it, it helps to compliment and reinforce, what we intend, to, to push over the line here, in the coming month or so. And that is a, what we call a directive type memorandum that will help to further clarify and provide guidance to, to address the issue. we, this, when, when we're done here, the DTM will provide guidance for both, DCSA and DOD components on the process for joint ventures, that might meet criteria within the, within the, within the statute that established, you know, where, where some of the ambiguities, or the, the conflict exist. It'll provide some guidance there to, to be able to kind of meander through that without having to go and take the extraordinary step to request exceptions to policies related to the industrial security program. something which is a, an arduous and time consuming process. It's sand in the gears, it slows things down, and, and when we're slowing things down, where, where contract awards are, that doesn't serve anybody's purpose, it certainly doesn't serve the departments, and nor that of the, of this, in, in the small businesses that, that, frankly, we rely on for the award and who rely on those awards in order to be able to, you know, frankly operate. So, we'll continue to, to, to keep you posted on that one. We think that that will move relatively quickly once it clears the lawyers. Everyone knows it's, it's important. I was, I briefed my leadership on, on it most recently on Monday. And so, so, that's, that's where we stand, at this time. Two, two other brief topics here to touch on. it doesn't feel like you can go a week without saying the word's trusted workforce, in, in the NISP, another in a sentence. I made it several months without having to do that, and now we seem to do it all the time. but, a brief update on the, on, on the department's efforts with respect to, to 2.0. you know, the recent 45 day review, that, that, that we undertook, you know, earlier in the summer and the subsequent follow on actions that the Secretary of Defense has discussed it for us, regarding security and depth, you know, really became a, highlighted the importance of the ways in which we identify mitigate risks, which brings us right to trusted workforce. The review, provided, you know, us with some data and result, in the form that we were able to use to form recommendations, for policy procedural and, and candidly, some cultural changes, within the department. Much of these focus, much of the focus areas, center around personal security, and, and line up pretty well, and a bit of clarion calls with respect to, trusted workforce, efforts and aim points. The department's, trusted Workforce 2.0 implementation efforts, like policy improvements, continuous vetting, enrollment, elimination and prs have already led to significant measurable improvements in the personnel vetting processes. and, remaining initiatives like CV for Nonsensitive, public Trust population shared services through DCSA, and continued focus on ENBIS deployment, aimed to increase efficiencies, reduced burdens on the vetting process, increase overall workforce mobility across personnel vetting domains. you know, our, our, personnel, vetting counterparts are, are working to evolve the department's methods for information sharing along these, this same access, right? So it nod to, to our earlier discussion and, and some of the homework that we'll take out at today's meeting. Under Trusted Workforce Agency specific information, is forecast for incorporation from partner mission areas into continuous vetting, which will enable, you know, more, robust personnel vetting and risk management. And finally, along the same access trusted workforce, you know, you know, the bumper sticker for us is that we'll better position the department to develop and maintain personnel ready, you know, to protect our national security. And that's across the board, right? So, you know, contractors, military personnel, and, and of course, civilians, as well. and finally, the last topic that I wanted to raise today was, was just to highlight, the, the, the second NISPOM amendment. It's, progressing. It's with our - it's pending approval now from, from our senior leadership, to be published to the Federal Register. so we're within the workflow. It's, all pencils are down now, subject to any questions from our leadership. We, we anticipate it to be signed, you know, whenever we're able to kind of cycle it into the, to all the other things that, that our, our senior leaders have to contemplate right now in a, in a pretty, topsy-turvy, world stage. The amendment includes updated language on safeguarding, offers some clarity with respect to open storage requirements, including procedures for leaving an open storage area, unintended during business hours, and allows for delegation of open storage area approval authority for FSOs, if agreed to by the Cognizant Security Agency. All of these changes are reflective of recommendations that came in through the public comments, you know, which is a, a, a good and, you know, open and transparent dialogue. ironically, once published, there's an opportunity to comment on the, the amendments. so the process continues, and I, I know I can speak for Allison and and now Glen, that they're super excited because, rulemaking is, well, it's, it's a process. And so, so, but it is also reflective of the need for, you know, continuing, dialogue. Those, those rules, become that common script that we all operate, you know, in terms of. And so making sure that we're getting the language correct, in a way that will hold up over time is, is important. And we need, we need your help and assistance for that. With that, that concludes my remarks. Happy to answer any questions or thank you very much for the, the opportunity to participate today. - Thanks, Jeff. any NISPPAC members have any questions, comments? - This is Greg Sadler. Jeff, can you elaborate on the last item, you touched on regarding the open storage approvals? I just want to make sure I capture that right. - So, other than the people, not, not with a great deal of depth to be very, frank with you, Greg, I just know we had comments that came in, that, that looked for us to offer clarifying language that would, that showcase It is absolutely permissible, for the, for, for open stereo o open storage area approval authority to be delegated to a A an FSO, right? So, pending the, you know, based on Cognizant Security Agency, you know, direction. So if, you know, so the, some level of documentation of that, so my mindful of, I'm thinking of DCSA coming in when they want to, you know, con conduct an assessment, right? Understanding what was permitted to be left in open storage, or left out, excuse me, you know, would be subject only to documentation. I, I'm happy to take a note back. and, we can either, update my remarks when we, when we, when we go through this, just to be able to offer some more clarify clarifying language. and, and of course, we're always available to, to provide, you know, more detailed, offline, although that won't serve, everyone else in attendance today. Thank you. I - Appreciate it, Jeff. Thank you. - You bet. - Any other NISPPAC members have any questions for Jeff? - Hey. Hey, Heather, this is Ike. - Yes. - Hey. Hey, Jeff. we, I haven't seen, or I don't think any of us have seen the NISPOM amendment. is that a possibility for us to, to see that? - so, if, it is, absolutely, we will, we, we'll, we'll get it out straight away. so my normal answer would be to say just an unqualified yes. I just want to make sure that I, I, I hope you can appreciate, want to preserve some decision space from my leadership, since we've made it through all of the coordination steps at this point. you know, and we're, we're literally at the phase where we're just asking for signature. I don't want to do anything that would upend that because it's taken kind of a long time to get here. on the other hand, if we're allowed to send it out as a draft, we'll do so, today. and gosh, if we were in person, I would just sort of be looking kind of over my glasses at Allison, and she would probably be able to give us an answer right now, right? but, but yeah, you bet. - Okay, thank you. - Jeff, this is Jane Dinkel with NISPPAC, and I had a question about, the cloud services, and how we document those, or, or the ability to use the cloud services. And you mentioned that you'd engaged with acquisition and they were updating or working on the DFAR clauses and, that the, the ISL is almost done, and we'll see that by January one, or you said before the calendar hits 2024, and then you mentioned about Keith Minard updating the instructions to the DD 2 54, so all of that will come out at the same time? - so probably not. So I, let me, let me kind of reverse the order there. One, you know, so this modification instructions, I I, to be candid, it was Keith's idea, but someone else has to do the work, and, and he, he specializes in that a little bit, but it's a great idea and it's, it's actually a pretty straightforward, you know, thing, thing to undertake. so I I, I, I'm hesitant to put a clock on that now though. I think, you know, we'll be able to do so even, you know, when the, when the working groups, next convene here if, if they meet in the month of December. So we should be able to have a clock on that. with respect to the ISL, yeah, I, I'd like to hammer down on that one. you know, I didn't, maybe I, I didn't touch on it with enough depth, but the, the, the, the process for issuing ISLs now requires us, in, in a, in a, in a good way. but we need to, to make sure that we, we get OPN or OMB coordination, before we move to, to putting an industrial security letter out. And so that is a, a wrinkle in the way in which, that, that, that, that isn't the same way that we've done it in the past, and we're, we're stepping through that right now, both so that, we, the royal, we, the department, you know, certainly, you know, coordination through NISPPAC, but also, in this engagement with, with OMB, we, we can get, we can identify a repeatable process. And so we're, because ISLs are an important tool, as, as I think has been alluded to, so, we have a number of them in the pipeline. we went forward with all of them, back, earlier in the fall. And I, and I think maybe overwhelmed the system a little bit the same time that we were also pressing with, OMB on the NISPOM Amendment. And so what we needed to do was to kind of, sequence that out a little bit, certainly, with, with deference to DCSA if they felt differently. but for, for, for my office, this first one, the cloud ISL is, at the top of the stack for us, for the reasons that I've already outlined. And I'd like to see that go forward and, and see it, teed up for signature this calendar year. Absolutely. with respect to the DFAR, though, I want to make sure that there wasn't any confusion. There are no changes proposed for the two. There are two DFAR clauses that, that relate to, to cloud services, neither one of which is proposed for change, because neither one of which, impedes the use of commercial cloud services in the NISP. What is necessary is for us to come up with some consistent language, and, and the mechanisms to note, you know, and, and annotate the permissibility for the use of cloud, as, as a, you know, on, on contracts requiring access. And that's what we have focused on at this point. - Much appreciated. Thank you for that clarification. - Yeah, of course. Thank you. - All right. Any other NISPPAC members have any questions for Jeff? All right. Next we will hear from Ms. Lisa Perez, the Senior Policy Officer for the Policy and Collaboration Group with the Special Security Directorate, national Counterintelligence and Security Center with the Office of the National, with the office of the Director of National Intelligence. Lisa, - Good morning everyone. thank you, Heather. So this is Lisa Perez of ODNI to Keith, April and Heather, thank you for your great work on the NISPPAC and for your collaboration during your tenure. I wish you all, equivalent success in your new role. Also, thank you to Ike for sharing industry perspectives. It's much appreciated. And to Jeff, thank you for, the detailed remarks and, answers to all these questions and support for the Trusted Workforce 2.0 initiative. And speaking of Trusted Workforce 2.0 under the initiative, ODNI and OPM issued guidance to agencies for how they should collect and report metrics in alignment with the previously issued federal personnel vetting performance management standards. So the guidance will help improve data consistency and reliability across the executive branch. So two key changes include setting substantially more aggressive and aspirational timeliness targets for the end-to-end personnel vetting process and establishing a metric, measuring the average time needed for agencies to reach an onboarding decision. So the new metrics will be iterative, excuse me, iter, I cannot say that word. iter iteratively. <laugh> rolled out based on agency read readiness, moving, toward the full implementation in fiscal year 25. and then onto the next thing I was asked today to speak about the SF three 12. so, the SSF three 12 is currently undergoing some updates and is currently going through the DNI approval process. We do not have projected release date right now, but I just wanted to make sure that was on your radar. After issuance, I'll provide an overview, of changes to the NISPPAC and the updated version will be made accessible through our website. So meanwhile, the current version of the form may be digitally signed in accordance with a 32 C FFR 2001 dot 80, and through coordination with US General Services Administration, the link from the dni.gov website takes you to the current version of the SSF three 12 classified information, non-disclosure agreement that is configured for digital signatures. So when clicking on the link on the GSA webpage, the document will open in web browser view and it will be formed fillable. But we've had some questions. So we, we've learned from these, questions and emails that some have experienced that they're unable to apply the digital signature in that particular view. If this is the case, I just want to remind everyone, you can save the document from the web browser to your system and you can reopen it in Adobe Reader, in Adobe Reader. The digital signatures can be applied. Adobe Reader is downloadable from the same GSA webpage. And, probably through ISOO I'll provide a copy of this explanation, with a screenshot displaying the GSA webpage. And then I'll also provide a link to the GSA webpage as well as a copy of the brochure. We have, prepared to provide an overview and answer frequently asked questions regarding the SSF three 12. And then as a follow on once we've actually updated the SSF three 12, we plan to move on to our 44 14 for those of you familiar with it. but the no specifics about that one yet, and that is really all the updates for me today. Are there any questions for me? - All right. thank you, Lisa. Thank you. Any questions for Lisa? Alright, DeJacerand, the Deputy Director for the Enterprise Security Programs and Policy of the National Security Services Division, with the office of the Chief Security Officer at the Department of Homeland Security, who will provide their update. Rich. - Thanks, Heather. Good morning, everyone. I do not have any official updates for the group, however, I do have some information, for the group. the Office of the Chief Security Officer under the Department of Manage, or I'm sorry, management Directorate. We have completed our move from seventh and D Washington, DC to the new TSA headquarters in Springfield, Virginia. management directorate now occupies the sixth floor, and we are here until further notice, and we will also continue in the telework posture, for the foreseeable future. That's really all I have. If there are any questions, I'm happy to answer. - All right, thanks, Rich. It looks like there's no questions for DHS. Any questions? Alright, Mr. Mike Fowler, a program management specialist with DCSA NBIS Planning and deployment, is now going to provide an NBIS update. Mike? - Hey, good morning, everybody. yes, this is Mike Fowler here with the DCSA NBIS, planning and Deployment office here to provide a briefing on NBIS this morning. So appreciate, the ability to join here today. just want to reiterate a couple things that, that Ike mentioned earlier. As far as the partnership goes between our, our team, and our organization and industry, especially the NISPPAC team. we've had a tremendous relationship with those folks over the last year, as we've moved forward with NBIS. we meet with, meet with the group, multiple times a week, to do, in, to do, to do meetings and, and updates. And we're also communicating back and forth on a daily basis. So, getting some great responses back, getting a lot of good information, from the industry folks on some of the challenges that they're seeing with the system. we've made a number of strides to get, get folks onboarded, here for the, the 1st of October. And, you know, just like I said, great partnership. several weeks ago, we actually hosted, nine folks from the NISPPAC team in Boyers, Pennsylvania at our processing facility. Had a two day session, with them, covered a lot of great information about FY 24 and how NBIS is going to be rolled out over the next fiscal year. talked about a number of issues and concerns, from both, both ends. and then we also talked a lot about training and communication. So, I'm going to cover some of that stuff here today. I did provide a slide deck if folks want to take a look at that. If you're following along on the slides, we can go ahead and move to slide number three, which is our past, present and future slide. Just so, just in general, you know, we wanted to cover, you know, where we've been, where we are, and where we're going, with the NBIS program. So, just real quick, where we've been last year, we started, scaling industry companies in March, 2023. the memo from Director Leitsou came out on May 5th to the NISPPAC informing industry to complete transition to e-app case initiation by October 1st, like I said, extensive communication with the NISPPAC team, with our industry partners to get the word out and work with with industry to get onboarded. So we do have everybody, we do have the majority of of industry onboarded into NBIS now. we removed the case initiation function in DISS on October 1st. E-APP has officially replaced EQIP as the standard form collection platform. With that, it improves the security data validation and user experience. And also we're working closely with the VRO team, who has been processing background investigations and CV requests in both NBIS and DISS. for the time being, we are continuing to see cases come through on DISS. we are clearing out that inventory at this point in time. while there's no new initiations, that are being initiated in DISS, you know, we do still have some of those cases that were in progress prior to the first, but we're continuing to see those progress. right now we're looking at 99% of case initiations coming through to us via NBIS. So good success story there. And as far as the onboarding piece goes, we do still have a few companies that we're working with, to make sure that they do get transitioned over to NBIS. I think a few of them held off, over the last, you know, couple months because they were not planning on initiating any investigation requests or CV requests. but we are continuing to track and monitor those folks. We're working closely with our industrial security team who is working with the FSOs at those companies to push out, the guidance needed for them to onboard, into the system. So we're continuing to, to progress there. over right now there is still some swivel chair activities, common term that we use here, common term, that will be used for quite some time here. As far as, you know, functions that are available in both DISS and NBIS. one of the things that, that recently did come up, we have provided guidance, for onboarding personnel and for bringing new folks into the system as far as, you know, actions that need to take place in DISS versus actions that need to take place in NBIS and this, and in some cases, both systems. we've very, very much focused on the initial piece where we're bringing subjects on board, but we also need to focus on, you know, what happens whenever subjects leave a company. one of the things that came out of the most recent NISPPAC group that we had on Monday, was to provide some guidance for that. So we're continuing to do that, working on that. We'll, as always, we work closely with our POCs on the industry side to make sure that we're providing the right information in an understandable and, you know, and, and effective format. so that, that continues. I did mention, I did see that Ike, mentioned the reporting, issues. And, and we agree, the reporting issues that have occurred over the last couple months here, you know, have been an issue for industry as well as our other customer agencies. the output on those reports is currently capped at 10,000, which is not acceptable for, you know, several of our industry companies that have, you know, many more employees, than that. our customer agencies fall into the same situation. Some of our large submitters have the same, same issues. So, one thing we do want to mention is we are working, closely with our solutions team to do two things. Number one, we're working to expand the output from 10,000 to a hundred thousand. and we are also working on expanding the timeouts to 15 minutes. the legacy and lag, or I'm sorry, the lag time issues, that are coming back from industry. You know, again, unacceptable need to be, need to be resolved. and we're also, you know, just overall that that feature is expected to be tentatively rolled out in our December release, which is NBIS 4.6. So, we're again, working very closely with our solutions team to make that resolution and make sure that, that that information is, is available to industry and all of our customers. So, future, a couple things, coming up. First thing, the big, big future item that we have for FY 24 is going to be subject management. all of that information, and functionality that folks are seeing in this today on the industry side and some of our non DOD folks are seeing on the CVS side, we're going to end up transferring over into NBIS, this year. this includes data migration and mapping, as well as the transition to NBIS as the official system of record. folks will remember whenever we move from JPASS to this, several years ago, there was an official notice that came out identifying this as the system of record. that same information will come out for, for NBIS in the future. The data is, is 100% TBD at this point in time. It's dependent on the functionality of the system and the capabilities involved. also internally, we're going to be working quite a few items, on the internal side of DCSA. So we're going to be working the background investigation piece, continuous vetting and adjudications at the DOD, at the DCSA CAF. So a lot of information to carry forward there. over the next year, 4.4 million data points need to be carried forward, from our legacy systems. There's 32 system, legacy systems that we need to account for and pull forward. one of those, you know, pretty close to, to me here is a prior background investigation. employee is pips. we have 200 terabytes of data that needs to get carried forward from pips, into NBIS. So, big heavy lift there. A lot of information coming forward, A lot of functionality. You know, some of these systems, for example, pips has been around for over 50 years. it's been, you know, patched over many times, a lot of functionality that needs to come forward. So heavy lift there as well. so we're working, you know, both internally and externally to move forward on, on our systems. If you're following along, let's move on to slide number four. all about the data. So data that, you know, as we move forward, data migration is a key component to all of our to, to the success of NBIS. so a couple things that we have migrated so far. subject pre-filled data has been pulled forward from EQIP to E-APP. So if a subject had a previous investigation request initiated or completed in EQIP, that prefill information is going to carry forward. So same as e Quip. if you have a reinvestigation or a new request, you log into the next request. your typewritten information is carried forward and available for you to update the standard form. you do have to answer the yes no questions as you did before, and make sure that you make any updates as needed. also subject affiliation, has been pulled forward from this. To NBIS this in September. we mapped subject data, or I'm sorry, we mapped subjects, from the system SMOs to the corresponding en this orgs in September. this is completed using a flat file at this point. there was a major push in September that pulled all of the information over, actually around 98%, which is actually pretty successful for us, when it comes to moving data. They were, the remaining 2% has also been resolved at this point in time. And subject affiliation is now present on the subject management tab in NBIS. So folks are able to, to go in and see that, that information. At this point. we're continuing to update this information two ways. Both information coming back and forth between this and NBIS this on weekly files. This is expected to continue until real time update, is in place that's targeted later in calendar year 24, probably the first quarter of the, of the new year. So, data to be migrated. A lot of information, that's listed on the slide here, no need to really go through it. It, it just kind of covers everything basically. In short, anything that's on DIS at this point in time, it's going to have to carry forward into NBIS. So, working very closely with our data team to make sure that we do have the one-to-one transition on that, and that that information is carried forward into the correct location where our users can see and take action as needed. So, a couple actions, for today. as mentioned, you know, the swivel swivel chair is still, still in play, working back and forth. Some of our, our customers are going to have to work, several items in DIS, some items in NBIS, some items in both. we do have a number of pieces of documentation and guidance that are out there that we've, we've, presented, to the users. primarily our training materials are available in the step system as well as ServiceNow, also known as ESD, knowledge articles that are out there for folks to use and gain access to. so also, on the slide bottom right there is a hot link to step, for the IR guide, that is available to folks. certainly want to make sure that everybody gets a chance to, to take advantage of that and the other documents that are out there in our training site. So, if we move on to the next slide, one of other thing, we heard, heard from both Ike today and then also from our NISPPAC, members that joined us up in Boyer several weeks ago was communication. you know, big issue that we had, you know, at least a month ago as, as recently as a month ago, was that our website, you know, didn't really have a lot of great information on there about NBIS. it's probably one of the biggest, biggest areas of concern for us, over the, over the past several years. and it was, the information that was on the website was very minimal. So we are working with our Office of Communications and Congressional Affairs team, otherwise known as Oka. And we've been working on the website, to add additional information on there. one of the latest things that came up, you know, several weeks ago was the addition of the NBIS tab. So if you go to DCSA dot Mil, go to the homepage on the top, top page, you can kind of see it on the slide here. there is an NBIS tab, that's available, to anywhere you are in the system. If you hover over that, you get a dropdown menu menu that has a lot of information and, you know, good information for, you know, all of our customers that are out there. We have a federal onboarding link, and then we also have, information for industry onboarding on there as well. a couple things that we've added to that. first off, zero has, has helped us tremendously with adding some additional, industry specific documentation that's out there that will help folks with the initiate review function in the system. we also added a hot link in there to provide a redirect to the voice of the industry. Over the past several months, we've been putting a lot of great information out into the voice of industry about updates to NBIS, updates to processing. it's already available on our website, but sometimes, you know, you have to go through several, several locations to get it. So, we added that link on there as well. we're really looking at this as a springboard to more output, in the future. couple things that we're looking at, in the future term, we're looking at adding releases and updates, versions and hot fixes. You know, we have a new version of NBIS that is expected to come out quarterly, in the future. we're also working a number of hot fixes at this point in time. We're working through some weekly hot fixes, to try to make certain updates to the system to improve functionality. something else that will be added onto the overall dropdown is NBIS training. there's going to be a sub page on there. we've been working very closely with the NBIS training team to, to get that information updated and provide quick links, to, you know, step ServiceNow, other locations on our website that have important information, for all of our customers. So that information will be coming out. something else we're working through is to add additional guides and resources. If you look through our website now, a lot of the guides that we have out there relate to E Quip. how to fill out my form, how to complete the SF 86 is very EQuip centric, because that was the system we have been using over the last 20 years. So, you know, what we're working on is, is getting that updated to E-APP. So that will continue to go forward. we're also working, dates updates on the NBIS News page. we do have some information out there already, so we do have, we do have that out there. one thing we do have available on the news and publications is <inaudible> seven promotional message, from NISPPAC. So that is also out there. So more information to come in 2024. I know we're getting close to the 10 minute mark, so I'll just kind of move it along so we can have some questions here at the end. If we go to the last page. One thing we do want to mention, we do have some new contact numbers, for our help resources, coming up. So, the Boyer's phone number, Boyer's phone numbers have changed from a 7 2 4 area code to an 8 7 8 area code. this information is on our homepage on DCSA.mil that covers, you know, specific, help Desk folks. many industry folks have used the CET and the applicant knowledge center over the past several years. We do have new contact numbers for them. it's listed on the slide here, and it's also listed on our homepage of DCSA dot mil. So, we certainly hope folks, get a chance to use that, going forward. And that is it, that is what we have, as far as the slides today. And happy to answer any questions anybody has. Hey, Mike, this is Ike, yes, sir. Hey, Mike. I just want to commend, your team and DCSA for hearing, industry. I know that several of us from Industry NISPPAC was part of talking about the enhanced communication, and we really, really appreciate the fact that you heard us, you guys evaluated what needed to be done, and it's great to see that you're taking the steps to ensure that no one is left out, in industry. So we appreciate the fact that you heard us and you're putting some of those things to, to, some of those things to good use. So thank you for that. Yeah, thank you, Ike. I, I appreciate the, the <laugh>. I appreciate that very much. And, and honestly, you know, from our end as well, I mean, your, your input and communication is only helping us and helping the community. So, you know, it's a, it's definitely a two-way street here. So we, we certainly appreciate the, the partnership we've had with the team, in this project. I, I've been in this space for quite some time and, and this is probably the, the best partnership I've seen, you know, as far as going back and forth and, and, you know, the pace of communication between our, our two groups. So, certainly appreciate it and, you know, looking forward to continuing to, to keep improving. Thanks, Mike. - Mike, this is Greg Sadler. I got, I got two questions, brief ones, I believe. the first one is when you referenced the system of record change, that's it's TBD, from a DCSA perspective, is that T-B-T-T-B-D notional 2024 or more confident TBD 2025 fiscal year? - Yeah, I would, I would not have a a solid answer for you on that one, Greg. It is, at this point is just TBD, okay. We're not tracking it, in any sort of ballpark figure at this point. - Okay. No, I appreciate that and completely understand. the, the second one is, is NBIS is obviously a bright, shiny, hugely impacting object that DCSA has been chartered to, to roll out. And, and as Ike said, and, and you've reported it's moving and, and the communications improving and et cetera, does the agency believe that, that it's drawing resources or, leave it resources away from the other systems that DCSA charter to not only administer and keep alive, but, you know, roll out, we've got NIS which is, is bumpy, and we, we've all agreed on that in various forums. We've got NCCS, which is in a, a rollout state that's a little delayed. we've got requirements gathering for, for what, what's the acronym NI NI two or NIST 2.0, whichever vernacular are, are there enough resources within the department to manage those priorities? And, and if so, just offer the opportunity to comment on it. - Sure. thanks for the question, Greg. And, and yes, there we are working both legacy and NBIS this at this point. and we, we are going to continue to do so, for the, for the immediate future, not seeing a real end date on that. I mean, we do have, you know, decommission, actions that are going to be coming out here. They've actually already been posted on, you know, internally on how we're going to, you know, officially transition from one system to another. but we are also keeping those systems in a warm state, you know, as we move forward. I mean, there is still some, some data that we can pull from there and things like that, that, that need to be accounted for. you're absolutely correct that, you know, while we are going through this, swivel chair process between systems, you know, we do need to have, you know, certain functions and fixes, you know, resolved, going forward. we do have teams that are working both sides of that, and we're continuing to do that, and we will continue to do that, into the future. - Thank you, sir. - Any other questions for Mr. Fowler from NISPPAC members? All right. We will now hear from Mr. Matt Roach, the division chief of NISA Operations, industrial Security for the defense, counterintelligence and Security Agency, also known as DCSA. Matt, - Good morning. Thank you, Heather. And I want to take a moment to just introduce myself and offer my thanks and recognition, to a few folks. So, first I'd like to thank Keith Minard for his, nearly 40, meetings that he's supported and attended, and, his, his, guidance and, leadership as we, as I transition into this new role. right now, I'm the NISPPAC alternate, but, Keith's been kind enough to offer me up as, to the director as permanent. but thank you, Keith, as always, outstanding work. Also want to welcome Ike, Ike and I, as so are some of my colleagues, so are some of my colleagues in constant contact. And, we will continue to do so. and I believe, we can make a lot of progress, going forward, continue the momentum that Heather Sims built. I also want to thank Mr. Bill Lietzau, who's retired from, the director, position here at DCSA at 40 years of public service. remarkable three years to include the, the Covid, period. and we thank Mr. Lietzau, for that service or for his service. and then lastly, just make comment that the deputy director, deputy director Lecce, who is now our, acting director, has, not missed the beat. He's kept us focused on our strategic plan and our top priorities, and, those top priorities, in this culture, values, essentially the people aspect of our mission. And then, of course, integration. but you can see, our strategic plan and read it in, in its entirety online if you're interested in that. But the, the director has, made clear that we're sticking to the plan. So, again, my name is Matthew Roche, and I, I work in the, industrial security element here at DCSA, and you're going to hear from my counterparts, already heard from Mike Fowler. Great job, Mike. And, I'll keep my comments brief because, a lot of information being put out, and we want to make sure Mike Gray has, enough time as well. So, I'm going to talk about, first to say thank you to Mr. Spinnager for talking about ISLs. I don't have to repeat that, those comments, but everyone knows where we are with that in terms of security reviews. we finished up last year with, 3,638, and, want to thank, industry specifically for, you know, accommodating those security reviews. And overall, it's been a good, a good year. looking forward to 24. our expectation is to complete, 3,400 security reviews. and, in addition to that, working on integrating, NASOF into the oversight process as well. And we'll, you'll be hearing more about that later. we do have an ongoing, working group with, with NISPPAC. we'd like to thank them for their service. related to our efforts to build a security rating score, we believe that, by working collaboratively, on this effort, we, we will be able to get, more consistent results and overall raise the security posture of the National Industrial Security Program, defense industrial base. secondly, in terms of products, and, I want to make clear again that this was, one of Keith Minard's efforts, and this was the DCSA Industrial Security began, October 1st, sending out, what we call the annual industrial, industry, excuse me, checkup tool to about a thousand fill facilities a month. And so, the idea being that, those facilities that were issued a facility clearance in that month would get a friendly reminder on, the, what we call the checkup tool. So just like as you get notices to, you know, for your annual checkup with the dentist or the doctor, or for your car, this, the intention here is to focus in on reminding folks of the standards requirements related to, the National Security Program. So we're, we're in our, what will be the, starting our third month here. And, we're looking at, some really good feedback from industry on that and, and getting some good data. secondly, contractor self inspections. This is another focus area that, we internally are, focusing in on to increase the number of, CERT certifications that are, uploaded into NISP, that validates that the company has completed their self-inspection. We also consider this a focus area, to allow for increased, compliance, a higher security posture, over time. as I mentioned with the, the checkup tool, that'll obviously be highlighted in there as well. Lastly, CDSE, they continue to turn out some really quality, and timely courses. just want to highlight a couple of those. one is, the CSS 100 do cu and that's the Risk Management Framework curriculum. You'll hear from Dave Scott in a minute. But, essentially this course was, focused in on, the revision two of the NISP 800 dash 37. And, it prepares, it prepare, it prepares you to focus in on the, the preparatory process that you go through before you enter into the risk management framework. so good stuff there. we also have a SAP course, and OPSEC awareness for military members, DOD employees and contractors. And there's also a series of shorts on CUI. so, kudos to CDSC. I encourage everyone to check those courses out on their website. so, pending your questions. That is all I have for now. - Alright, thanks, Matt. Any questions from NISPPAC members for Matt? - Hey, Heather, this is Ike. Hey, hey again. Matt, the cadence that Keith Minard provided, and Heather's timeframe and the, and the cadence that you're providing to sit down with industry NISPPAC once a month to, to just collaborate and go over some of these items have been very, very valuable. not only to our team, but to industry. So thank you for, for you and your team and, and Keith and his team for putting that together so we can sit down and iron out some things. And thank you for listening to us when it comes to the security review process, right? Industry, it's been one of those talks every year about the security review. And finally, together, collectively, we are working together as a group to try to figure out and fit and fix and make this best for both sides of, of the ballpark here. So thank you very much for that. I, I couldn't let this meeting go without saying that collaboration is very, very helpful. And we will continue to let the industry know as well, right? We know it because we see it and we work it every day, but it's up to us as well to continue to pass this information down to industry so they can hear it as well. And we'll continue to do that. So, thank you, Matt. - Thank you're welcome, Ike. And, thank you. And, just for everyone's identification, when we went into C-O-V-I-D, we started a, regular cadence, monthly cadence to talk to NISPPAC, industry. And we decided it was so valuable that we would just keep that going. So, so the first Thursday of every month, we get together and, provide each other updates and, things that we can help each other on. So thank you Ike for that. Appreciate it. - Alright, thanks. Any other NISPPAC members with comments or questions? We're now moving into the portion of the meeting where we get reports from the NISPPAC working groups. However, we'll be not dis discussing all of the working groups at this time. We have provided slides with highlights of all of them. You have already heard from some CSAs and CSOs on the high level points of what was discussed during this clearance working group on September 6th, 2023. We'll also hear from DCSA for their security clearance and information system metrics, along with metrics from DOE and NRC. We are now going to hear from Mr. Dave Scott, the NISP Authorizing Official for DCSA's information systems update. Dave? - Thank you for that. So, I'm on page two of the metrics that were provided, for the NISA Working Group. This is a national metrics. I'm not going to go through each and every one of these, but just want to kind of call out a few things. our registered systems and eMASS stays, steady, at around 5,500. want to give kudos to industry, for continuing to, work through decommissioning or when as systems are no longer contracts required, or expired, continuing that step seven of, of the risk management framework to, decommission, and those systems as appropriate. That really helped us keep our, our database cleaned up and our, our accurate number of responsibilities within our portfolio. So thank you for that. The other thing that I'll kind of call out here, these metrics are FY 23 is the authorizations process in FY 23 is around 2200. Historically, we've been closer to 2,900, 3000. and, and that's in large part because of the packages are, are much better within industry. And we're able to get onsite at a, at a more aggressive, pace in the last year. and, and doing more full three-year authorizations and reducing our, our conditional authorizations, which is, which has been a goal of ours. So, I think that's a, that's a great effort on both industry and DCSA, reaching the goal of, of those three year authorizations, and reducing a lot of the, the, administrative, paperwork as that are as a result from an, the conditional ato's. and then the, at the bottom there, DCSA dates for authorization decision. we, we have been averaging, as you see the 49 there, we average between 50 and55 throughout the, the year. but as the date of this report, it was 49 DCSA days. so we're getting really, good, battle rhythm, moving forward, with our, with our, systems and our goal of reaching a decision within, within 90 days. and, our extensions, workflows, that's a tool in the toolbox of the regional authorization officials, in large part working with industry, for whatever reasons we, the, the right and the ability to create an extension, when, when appropriate. so next slide, working off of a slide three is the triage metrics. This is where the, contractor staff that are, following the job aids that are published. and, and some metrics on the, the, the first step as we get when we get the packages in through eMASS. this year, this is, FY 23 numbers. we processed about 6,700, triaged, about 6,700 packages, and you can kind of see the breakout there for complete return, for rework and, and no triage, conducted. The no triage conducted as when, a package is already passed, that, that phase. and working directly with the ISSP, we don't want to waste time. That's, something that's already been done. So we, we pass that triage and, and, go straight to, the ISSP when we're already working on, on a package. and the bottom left hand, corner is, the top issues for, sent back for rework. Those have been pretty steady. and, and those are typically incomplete or, or, or, or, or missing information, from, from the, implementation plan or artifacts such as a DD 2 54, et cetera. workflows not initiated. So pretty standard there, in the bottom right hand corner from the triage metrics. one thing that I'll kind of call out, is the average completion time. You'll see kind of the, the from FY 21 through FY 23 we've gotten, the triage team has, has got a turnaround time of three days. and there's a couple of reasons for that. One, the triage team is really starting to understand the RMF process and the expectations, and they're getting very familiar with the system and, and what they're looking at. But two, in large part because industry's providing a lot better products over the years. and so, that is, I think outstanding, timeline there, for that first step, which makes, industry, makes our time, conducting our assessment and, and our risk assessments from a plan review and an onsite review, much faster turnaround time. So contributing to that. the other thing that I'll call out is the return for rework. You see, that's a little bit high, than probably normal. It says 31%, and that's due in large part to eMASS, releases that we put out there. And then sometimes we change, some information on that. It's required. So sometimes we, we, through those changes, there's a little bit of an increase in return to rework, but, but no alarm there. That's just, that's, that's kind of normal. And then I'll move on to the final, slide there. It's really just two, two topics that, are, we've been tracking at a national level in close collaboration with the NISA Working Group. and I got, I should have started with kudos to, to Mr. Sadler and then NISA working group team. the, the collaboration over the last, and a couple years has just been outstanding and tremendous, in some of the co, accomplishments that we've made. and, and I'll highlight a couple of things here. is, is I'll start with the, the NISP assessment authorization process, job aids and templates. this, this is the, the new name for the dapm. we, we renamed it to, to more closely align to, to what it really is, it's a job aid and a template. and, through this, we've, we've reindexed or we, we, brief formatted the document to, to make it easily to identify exactly, what a stakeholder would need. If they need to a template on a hardware baseline or a software baseline, they can easily identify that and pull that out. the NISP connection, process, guide is within as an index. And this as well, that's a, a much anticipated document that what's already been pre-coordinated with a NISA working group. So, we, the, the document has been, sent over to the NISA Working Group and we're, currently awaiting comments before we start our formal coordination through the, the process. So, I really want to thank, Mr. Sadler and the team for taking the time. I know it's a, I know, I know it's a big lift, but we really appreciate you taking the time to kind of take a look at that and let us know your feedback. so look forward to that. and then the NISP cloud capabilities, this, this past year, we've, past fiscal year, we've had some great success. we've navigated some challenges, and as you all know, we've, we've, made some success and we've authorized a, a, system within the, the, the isolated secret region. we've, we've documented, our success through, job aid that we coordinated with DISA. and that is now available as of, about a month ago within eMASS. So, it, it, it's a, it's a high level document, about a two page document that that can help point, for industry stakeholders and government stakeholders, how to, request an, an, and kind of the requirements to request a, cleared contractor, isolated secret region environment, for assessment authorization through DCSA with the cloud vendor that's authorized. so if there's any interest there, please take a look and give us any feedback that you have as well. but, that, that's all I've got pending any questions, from the group. - Alright, thank you. I appreciate that, Dave. Alright, we're now going to hear from Mr. Mike Ray, the Deputy Assistant Director of operations of vetting of vetting risk operations with DCSA for their vetting statistics, Mike. - Alright, so good morning everybody. first off, just want to kick it off just by saying, always appreciate the collaboration and partnership, within NISPPAC team. So, really appreciate that as we walk through different things within this and, and that kind of thing. So, looking at the slide here. So, we'll start off in the end, end to end timeliness for T five initials. this is for FY 23, Q four, 20 days for initiation, 134 days for investigation and 16 days for adjudication. So that end-to-end time is 170 days, for T three initials FY 23 Q four, it's going to be 18 days for initiation, 62 days for investigation, 20 days for adjudication. that end-to-end timeline is a hundred days. 90% of all initial investigations, had an entered termination made within seven to 10 days. if you look at the chart on the top left, that shows the current adjudications inventory at 2,400. and then the chart on the right shows the total investigation inventory for T fives is at 18,500 T three is at 18,300. and you can see the breakdown of the total adjudication inventory T five is at 400, the T three is at 1500, for reciprocity. I certainly appreciate the comment earlier today by, Jane. the, the CAF continues to deliver the reciprocity decisions at an average of one calendar day, for industry conditionals. we coordinated between VRO, the NISPPAC and the DOD CAF, and identify the process to issue conditional national security eligibility determinations. these conditional support mission readiness by removing a case from due process and using continuous vetting, to monitor compliance and support risk mitigation. DOD CAF plans on beginning to issue the conditional in Q one FY 24, the industry specific communication materials are currently being finalized. we, we did share that, within NISPPAC team received some comments and just finalizing that. And as soon as that's completed, we'll distribute that out to industry and across the department once available, for the DOD CAF call center. So, as part of identifying synergies between VRO and DOD CAF, the DOD CAF call center started answering inquiries from industry on PCL VRO statuses on October one. The DOD CAF call center phone number is (301) 833-3850. And then, transitioned over to CV Alert Management. So post CV enrollment, alerts are generated on based on established thresholds, which align with the federal investigative standards and adjudicated guidelines. CV is impactful as we average the 6% alert rate. criminal and financial are the most common valid actionable alerts, thus far. In FY 23, VRO received 28,000 industry alerts, of which 13,500 or 48% were not previously known. And that's from 22,000 unique industry subjects. just note that this information should have been self-reported, and as we know, our goal moving forward is to have individual self-report information, as it occurs. And, that's all I have for the group, and I'll, pause here for questions. - Thanks, Mike. Any questions for the VRO with DCSA from NISPPAC members? All right, we're now going to hear from Ms. Natasha Sumpter, the program planning and management lead with the Office of Security Policy, department of Energy. Please provide you Ms. Natasha. - Thank you, Heather. Good morning, NISPPAC members and participants. As always, it's a pleasure to have this opportunity to provide the Department of Energy's policy updates and updates on our personnel security investigations process, metrics and timelines. On behalf of Mr. Mark Hojnacke and Mr. Tracy Kendall, thank you for giving the Department of Energy the floor. The Office of Insider Threat Program just broke ground on rewriting DOE order, four 70.5 entitled Insider Threat Program. Just two weeks ago, the Insider Threat Program formed an integrated project team working group that is reviewing the current order to identify focus areas and priorities if all goes well with this aggressive timeline. They anticipate publishing the new order before next fall. The department continues making progress with rewriting DOE order four 70.4 B entitled Safeguards and Security program. The directive is being superseded by two new orders, safeguards and security program planning and safeguards and security program management operations. The latter of the two impacts industry, most of all. That's where we have our facility clearance, FOCI, excuse me, and other NISP related activities, outlined, excuse me, I'm so sorry guys. I am recovering from a sinus infection, so I had still a bit nasally. So continuing on, the two drafts are being developed via the integrated project team process as well. And both teams have developed and are reviewing their drafts and preparing to coordinate the drafts for departmental review. We will continue to provide updates via this forum as we meet milestones that impact the greater community now onto the slides. So I'm providing this update on behalf of Tracy Kendall from the Office of Departmental Personnel Security. A special thanks goes out to DCSA for providing the metrics that I will discuss. So onto slide two, overall, DOE continues to meet the ERPTA goals and average over the past four quarters with an average of 10 days for initiation and 17 days for adjudicating. The investigations on slide three, DOE continues to exceed the average initiation and adjudicated goals for the year. And as you can see on slide four, we met and exceeded the initiation and adjudication goals over the past year. On slide five, over the past four quarters, DOE continues to meet average initiation and adjudication goals, but did have a few bumps in the road, during the past winter. We expect the trends over the past, over the last five months of this year to continue on slide six, overall, DOE continues to meet the ERPTA goals on average over the last four quarters with an average of seven days for initiation and 10 days for adjudication. And as always, if our industry partners have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out and we are ready to assist. Thank you for this opportunity, and I can cede the floor back to Heather. - All right, thank you. Are there any questions for the Department of Energy? Alright, Mr. Chris Hilich, chief Personnel Security branch with NRC, please provide your update. - Good morning everybody. This is Chris Hilich from the NRC. I really don't have any or the NRC doesn't have any updates, this time around. I wasn't going to go slide by slide, but if you take a look, overall we're meeting our adjudication timeliness numbers. and I'm happy to report that our personnel security office is now fully backfilled with FTEs, so we fully anticipate to continue hitting those targets, if not improving on those numbers, we are fully compliant with the Trusted Workforce Initiative and, ramping up, enrollment of the Nonsensitive population. that's really all I have for you this time around and I'm, but I'm happy to entertain any questions. - Thanks, Chris. Any questions from the NRC? All now hear from Mr. Perry Russell Hunter, the director of the Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals, also known as DOHA. - Thank you Heather. this is, Perry Russell Hunter, and, I can promise that my, update will be brief because it is all good news. the established administrative process for, industry clearance eligibility, continues to, perform as designed. And, this is for not just DOD industry contractors, but for the industry contractors for 32 other federal departments and agencies. currently in legal review, we have 322 statements of reasons, that is a normal workload. And so what that means is that we are current in terms of the legal reviews of the statement of reasons, which is the notice document. It is how, the, DOD CAF and, and Doha inform, the individual of the security concerns. and so that's, it's very important that those get out timely and, and we are timely on all of those. we completed, 2,164, legal reviews of statements of reasons in fiscal year 2023. Again, that is a, a normal amount. what this tells us is that, while, CE CV is allowing, us in the government to get to, the adverse cases faster, in the past I've used the analogy of, finding the needles in the haystack faster. We may have made the haystack slightly bigger with CECV, but we're also finding the needles faster. and that at least based on the numbers we're seeing, that isn't, creating a, significantly larger number of denials or revocations, we're just getting to them faster. as the, as Mike noted, on behalf of the, the CAF the, commencing the use of conditionals, conditional grants of eligibility by the CAF is something that we at Doha fully support. and we've, spoken about this at past NISPPAC, because this will not only, reduce risk and improve, and enhance national security, it will also enhance readiness by enabling people to, to get to work or stay at work, where the, the issue, bears monitoring and CECV allow for that. but we can, we can let the person continue to work. So, the, the move to conditional eligibility for, industry is a, a great improvement by the CAF, and, and we applaud the CAFs for, stepping into that realm. It's one of the reasons why, I continue to predict that the number of denials or revocations we see, should remain fairly constant. But speaking of getting to adverse cases faster, Doha is leveraging, MS Teams, to conduct, more hearings by, remote video in, in fact, for the first time ever, Doha is now holding more hearings over, Teams than in person. but Doha's, independent administrative judges are, still, able to, convene in person hearings, whenever and wherever we need to. in, in fairness to the individual, or where the, the case calls for it, generally that is with, multiple or more complex witness testimony or more complex issues or, where credibility is a, a central issue. to the extent that, Doha's, independent ajs are, in the spotlight, probably the, the biggest news for them is that all ofDoha's administrative judges and appeal board members, have now been appointed as constitutional officers, by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. this is, the result of a, series of Supreme Court cases in which, the Supreme Court determined that making these kinds of, independent decisions, particularly after fact finding hearings, require constitutional appointment. And so, Doha has done that. Secretary Austin has appointed each of our administrative judges and appeal board members, and again, this is to, enhance their, independence and accountability. with that said, I, I now yield the rest of my time back for any questions. - All right, thanks Perry. It sounds like we don't have any questions. we are now at the point of the meeting where we ask for NISPPAC members to present any new business they have. Anybody. - Hi, this is Greg Sadler. It, it's not new business. I just wanted to loop back to the, the NISA Working Group content. Mm-Hmm. <affirmative> from Dave Scott. I was fighting the mute button and, and failed. all, all the points that Dave may have mentioned regarding the cloud capability and the, the engagement with industry are, are spot on, and we appreciate that some of the bumps that the team experienced during a pilot are being worked through. And, to, to smooth out that process and take the feed, the continued feedback on how to make the, the replication of the cloud solutions easier for both industry and the government. the, the DAPM replacement, we expect to have content or comments back to Dave and his team, by the end of the month. That's our goal to, to provide that feedback. we do one item that's already on the surface is come up with a better name. The DAPM flowed very easily. this one is, is a bit of a, full mouth to, to get out. and then the one item that, that Dave's team is already working on, and we hope that the DAPM replacement and updates will, will further contribute to, is consistency across the field. and both at the, AO level is, is greatly improving. But down at the individual I-I-S-S-P level, David and his team have taken, an initiative to try to drive more consistency there. it's definitely needed as, as the field deals with multiple locations within a single company and conflicted guidance. but again, Dave's team, has demonstrated ownership in that and, and they're working with us and, and we're providing that feedback in where, where possible. - Thanks, Greg. Any other? Next? Sorry, go ahead. - No, thank you, Heather. - Thanks. Do any other NISPPAC members have any questions or remarks before we close out the meeting? Alright, in the interest of time, we're not going to, take any more participant questions, but please ensure that questions and comments, were sent via WebEx's chat feature or email to NISPPAC at NARA dot gov so that they can be answered. As a reminder, all NISPPAC meeting announcements are posted in the Federal Register approximately 30 days before the meeting, along with it being posted to the ISOO Overview blog. Our next NISPPAC is scheduled for May 1st, 2024. Meeting adjourned. Thank you everybody for your time. Bye-Bye.

the public [Music] domain socialism communism nalism and cyclical letter quote aposto minaries December 28th 1878 as the nature of our Apostolic office required of us we have not omitted from the very outset of our pontificate address you venerable brothers and encyclical letters in order to advert to the deadly plague which is tainting society to its very core and bringing it to a state of extreme Peril at the same time we call attention to certain most effectual remedies by which society may be renewed unto salvation and enable to escape the crisis now threatening but the evils which we then deplored have taken in a brief space of time such widespread growth that we are compelled to address you a new with the words of the Prophet resounding as it were in our ears cry cease not lift up thy voice like a trumpet you understand as a matter of course venerable brothers that we are alluding to that sect of men who under the mly in all but barbarous terms and titles of Socialist Communist and neolist are spreading abroad throughout the world and bound intimately together in banful Alliance no longer look for strong support in secret meetings held in dark some places but standing forth openly and boldly in the light of day strive to carry out the purpose long resolved upon of uprooting the foundations of civilized society at large these are they in very truth who as the sacred text Bears witness defile the Flesh and despise dominion and blaspheme Majesty they leave nothing scatheless or uninjured of that which human and divine laws alike have wisely ordained to ensure the preservation and honor of life from the heads of states to whom as the Apostle admonishes all o submission and on whom the rights of authority are bestowed by God himself these searies withhold obedience and preach up the perfect equality of all men in regard to rights alike and duties the natural Union of man and woman which is held sacred even among barbarous nations they hold in scorn and its bond with whereby family life is chiefly maintained they slacken or else yield up to the sway of lust in short spurred on by greedy hankerings after things present which is the root of all evils which some coveting have ered from the faith they attack the right of property sanctioned by the law of Nature and with signal depravity while pretending to feel solicitous about the needs and anxious to satisfy the requirements of all they strain every effort to seize upon and hold in common all that has been individually acquired by title of lawful inheritance through intellectual or manual labor or economy in living these monstrous views that Proclaim in public meetings uphold in booklets and spread broadcast everywhere through the Daily Press hence the hallowed dignity and authority of rulers has incurred such odium on the part of rebellious subjects that evil-minded traitors spurning all control have many a time within a recent period boldly raised imp Pious hands against even the very heads of states such daring conduct on the part of disloyal individuals which threatens the Civilized Community from day to day with even Graver perils and troubles the mind of all with anxious fears draws its cause and origin from those venomous teachings which like pernicious seeds scattered far and wide among the Nations have produced in course of time death bearing fruits in fact venerable Brothers you know full well that the atrocious War which starting from the 16th century was declared against the Catholic faith by the reformers and which has been growing a m from day to day in vehement aimed at giving free course to the rejection of all Revelation the subversion of the supernatural order and the enthronement of uned reason with its vagaries or brother ravings deriving pretentiously its name from reason this vague Doctrine by flattering and stimulating the eagerness to outstrip others which is interwoven with man's nature and giving the Reign to every kind of unlawful desire has taken willing possession of the minds of great numbers and has even pervaded the whole of civilized society hence by a fresh Act of impiety unknown even to very pagans governments have been organized without God and the order established by him being taken at all into account it has even been contended that public author Authority with its dignity and its power of ruling originates not from God but from the mass of the people which considering Itself unfettered by all Divine sanction refuses to submit to any laws that it has not itself passed of its own free will next after having attacked and Cast Away the supernatural truths of Faith as being contrary to reason the very author and Redeemer of mankind has been forced slowly and gradually to withdraw from the scheme of studies at universities colleges and high schools as well as from all the Practical working of public life inine after having consigned to Oblivion the rewards and punishments of a future and never-ending existence the Keen longing after happiness has been narrowed down to the range of the present life with such doctrine spread far and wide and such license in thought and action it is no wonder that men of the most lowly condition heart sick of a humble home or poor Workshop should fix eager eyes on the abids and fortunes of the wealthy no wonder that Tranquility no longer prevails in public or private life or that the human race has been hurried onward to well not the verge of Ruin but the Supreme pastors of the church on whom devolves the charge of guarding the Lord's flock from the snares of the enemy have in good time devoted their energies to avert the danger and pending and to provide for the safety of the faithful in fact as soon as secret societies began to take extension in the midst whereof the germs of those evil principles already averted to were nursed the Roman pontis Clement the 15th and Benedict the 14th failed not to unmask the impious designs of the secetaries and to warn the faithful throughout the world concerning the mischiefs they were thus hatching in secret but when by those who gloried in the title of philosophers a certain unbridled Liberty was assigned to man and the new law as they term it began in opposition to the Divine and natural law to be set forth and gather sanction Pi the six of happy memory forth with laid bare by public documents the pernicious character and falsity of those principles and at the same time with Apostolic foresight predicted the other ruin to which the deluded multitudes were being hurried but since notwithstanding the measures resorted To None proved of Avail to prevent their wicked doctrines from day by day gaining ground with the people and obtaining ascendancy even in public decisions of government popees Pas iith and Leah I 12th excommunicated secret societies and once more gave warning to Society of the perils that threatened it in fine The World At Large is fully aware in what Earnest terms and with what resoluteness of soul and unflinching constancy our glorious predecessor Pas the 9th of happy memory but allocutions alike and encyclical letters addressed to the Bishops of the whole world leveled war against the iniquitous Endeavors of these sexts and furthermore even denounced by name the plague of socialism then bursting forth it is to be deplored however that they to whom has been entrusted the care of the common welfare allowing themselves to be circumvented by the fraudulent devices of Infamous men and Terror stricken at their threats have ever displayed towards the church feelings of Suspicion or even of hostility not understanding that the Endeavors of these sex would have been of no effect had the doctrine of the Catholic church and the authority of the Roman pontiff among rulers and people alike always remained in due honor for the Church of the Living God which is the pillar and ground of Truth proclaims those doctrines and precepts whereby the security and calm of society is provided for and the accursed Brutus socialism is utterly destroyed for although the Socialist turning to evil used the gospel itself so as to deceive more readily the unwary have been want to twist it to their meaning still so striking is the disagreement between their criminal teachings and the pure doctrine of Christ that no greater can exist for what participation hath Justice with Injustice or what Fellowship hath light with Darkness they in good sooth cease not from asserting as we have already mentioned that all men are by Nature equal and hence they contend that neither honor nor respect is owed to Public Authority nor any obedience to the laws saving perhaps to those which have been sanctioned according to their good pleasure contrarywise from the gospel records equality among men consists in this that one and all possessing the same nature are called to the sublime Dignity of being sons of God and moreover that one and the same end being set before all each and every one has to be judged according to the same laws and to have punishments or rewards Meed out according to individual deserts there is however an inequality of right and Authority which emanates from the author of nature himself of whom all paternity in Heaven and Earth is named as regards rulers and subjects all without exception according to Catholic teaching and precept are mutually Bound by duties and rights in such manner that on the one hand moderation is enjoined on the appetite for power and on the other obedience is shown to be easy stable and wholly honorable therefore does the church constantly urge upon each and all who are subject to her the apostolic precept there is no power but from God and those that are are ordained of God therefore he that resisteth the powers resisteth the ordinance of God God and they that resist purchase to themselves damnation and again be subject of necessity not only for wrath but also for conscience sake and render to all men their dues tribute to whom tribute is due custom to whom custom Fear To whom fear honor to whom honor for he who has created and governs all things has in his Provident wisdom so disposed them that the lowest attain to their and by the middlemost and the middl most by the highest just and as the almighty will that in the Heavenly Kingdom itself the choirs of angels should be of differing ranks subordinate the one to the other again just as in the church God has establish different grades of orders with diversity of functions so that all should not be Apostles all not doctors all not prophets so also has he established in Civil Society many orders of varying dignity right and Power and this to the end that the state like the church should form one body comprising many members some excelling others in rank and importance but all alike necessary to one another and solicit us for the common welfare but to the end that the rulers of the people should employ the power bestowed for the advancement and not detriment of those under rule the Church of Christ very fittingly warns the rulers themselves that The Sovereign judge will call them to a stct and Speedy account and evoking the words of divine wisdom she addresses them one and all in God's name give ear you that rule the people and that please yourselves and multitudes of Nations for power is given you by the Lord and strength by the most high who will examine your works and search out your thoughts for most severe judgment shall be for those that bear rule for God will not accept any man's person neither will he stand in awe of anyone's Gra greatness for he hath made the little and the great and he has equally care of all but a greater punishment is ready for the more Mighty should it however happen at any time that in the public exercise of authority rulers act rashly and arbitrarily the teaching of the Catholic church does not allow subjects to rise against them without further warranty lest peace and Order become more and more Disturbed and Society run the risk of Greater detriment and when things have come to such a pass as to hold out no further hope she teaches that a remedy is to be sought in the virtue of Christian patience and an urgent prayer to God but should it please legislators and rulers to enjoin or sanction anything repugnant to the Divine and natural law the dignity and duty of the name of Christian and the apostolic injunction Proclaim that one ought to obey God rather than men moreover the solitary influence of the church which redounds the upholding of well-regulated order in civil society and promotes its conservation the Family Circle itself which is the starting point of every city and every state necessarily feels and experiences for you are fully aware venerable brothers that the governing principle of family life has in accordance with the requirements of natural law its basis and the IND dissolvable Union of husband and wife and it super structure in the duties and rights of parents and children and of Masters and servants towards each other you are further aware that the theories of socialism would quickly destroy this family life since the stability afforded by marriage under religious sanction once lost paternal authority over children and the duties of children to parents are necessarily and most harmfully slackened Contra wise marriage honorable to all which from the beginning of the world God him himself instituted for the propagation and preservation of the human race and decreed to be indisoluble the church holds to have become more stable and holy through Christ who conferred on it the Dignity of a Sacrament and will to make it an image of his own Union with the church wherefore as the Apostle admonishes as Christ is the head of the church so is the husband the head of the wife and just as the church is subject to Christ who cherishes it with most chaste and Lasting Love love so is it becoming that women also should be subject to their husbands and by them in turn be loved with faithful and constant affection in like manner the church regulates the authority of the father and the master in such mode as to keep children and servant within their Duty without however allowing authority to be overstepped for according to Catholic teaching the authority of the heavenly father and Lord flows forth upon parents and Masters and on that account receives not only its origin and power from God but also its very nature and character hence th the Apostle exhort children to obey their parents in the Lord and to honor their father and their mother which is the first commandment with a promise and you fathers provoke not your children to anger but bring them up in the discipline and correction of the Lord and again by the same Divine Apostolic injunction it is urged on servants and Masters that the for former should obey their masters according to the flesh as to Christ with a good will serving as to the Lord but the latter should forbear threatenings knowing that the Lord of all is in heaven and there is no respect of persons with him for all these things observed by everyone whom they concern according to the intent of the Divine will each family would truly present a likeness of the Heavenly home and the wondrous benefits then resulting would not be limited simply to the family Circle but would spread abroad abundantly over the state at large as regards the maintenance of public and private Tranquility Catholic wisdom sustained by both Divine and natural law prudently provides through what it holds and teaches touching the right of ownership and the apportioning of personal property which has been accumulated for the wants and requirements of life for the Socialists wrongly assume the right of property to be of mere human invention repugnant to the Natural equality between men and preaching up the community of goods declare that no one should endure poverty meekly and that all may with impunity seize upon the possessions and usurp the rights of the wealthy more wisely and profitably the church recognizes the existence of inequality amongst men who are by Nature unlike in mental endowment and strength the body and even an amount of Fortune and she enjoins that the right of property and of its disposal derived from nature should in the case of every individual remain intact and inviolate she knows full well indeed that robbery and rine have been so forbidden by God the author and protector of every right that it is unlawful even to covet the goods of others and that thieves and Robbers no less than adulterers and idolators are excluded from the Kingdom of Heaven Nor do she on this account loving mother as she is omit solicitude for the poor or fail to provide for their needs nay taking them to her arms with maternal affection and knowing that they in a manner represent the person of Christ himself who accounts as done unto him any benefit conferred upon the lowliest among the poor she holds them in great account brings them Aid to the utmost of her power takes thought to have erected in every land of their behoof homes and refuges where they can be received nurtured and tended and takes those charitable foundations under her protecting care moreover She lays the rich under her strict command to give of their superfluity to the poor impressing them with fear of the Divine judgment which will exact the penalty of Eternal punishment unless they sucker the once of the needy in fine she cheers and Comforts exceedingly the hearts of the poor either by setting before them the example of Christ who being rich became poor for our sakes or by reminding them of the words by which Jesus pronounced the poor to be blessed and enjoin them to hope for the reward of Eternal Bliss who then does not perceive that herein lies the best means of appeasing the undying conflict between the rich and poor for as the evidence of things in facts clearly demonstrates if such conclusion be disallowed or made light of it must come about either that the vast majority of mankind will fall back into that most AB condition of bondage which through a long lapse of time obtained amongst Pagan Nations or else that Human Society will be agitated by constant outbreaks and ravaged by plunder and repe such as even of late years we' have had occasion to deplore since things have come to this past venerable Brothers we on whom is laid the charge of governing The Universal Church pointed out even at the very outset of our pontificate to the nations in their rulers tossed about by so dire a tempest the port to which they could betake themselves in all safety and now moved greatly by the extreme Peril which actually threatens we lift up a new our Apostolic voice and conjure them again and again for the sake of their own safety and that of the state to welcome and obey the teaching of that church which has deserved so well in promoting the public prosperity of Nations and to recognize once for all that the relations of the state in religion are so bound together as that whatever is withdrawn from religion impairs by so much the dutiful submission of the subject and the Dignity of authority and when they shall have recognized that the Church of Christ is possessed of a power power to starve off the pest of socialism too Mighty to be found in human enactments or in the strong hand of the Civil power or a military force let them reestablish that church and the condition and Liberty needed in order to be able to exercise their more solitary influence for the good of society in general do you however venerable brothers who have keen insight as to the nature and origin of the ills thickening ever in the world apply yourselves with all Zeal and energy of spirit to inculcate Catholic doctrine that it may reach and strike deep root in The Souls of all provide as far as may be that from early years all may grow accustomed to cherish a filal love towards God and to rever his Sovereign sway to show do submission to rulers and the laws to Bridle their passions and zealously uphold The Authority which God has established alike in the state and in the Family Circle moreover it behooves you to strive earnestly that the children of of the Catholic Church Venture not to lend their name nor in any way to give countenance to this hateful sect but on the contrary that by Worthy deeds and honorable line of action in all particulars they show how well and happily human society would Prosper where the individual members distinguishable for the regularity of their conduct and for their virtuous life finally as the Confederates of socialism are sought mainly among those who occupy themselves in business Pursuits or give themselves to manual labor and who wearied out by sheer hard work are more easily entrapped by the hope of wealth and promise of prosperity it seems expedient to encourage associations for handicraftsmen and laboring Men which placed under the Sheltering care of religion May render the members content with their lot and resign to toil inducing them to lead a peaceful and tranquil life on our undertakings venerable brothers and on yours may you confer fav favoring Aid to whom we are bound to refer the beginning and the end of all good we have ample ground to hope for Speedy help during these auspicious days when the Festival of our Lord's Nativity is being celebrated that new Deliverance which Christ born into a world sinking with years and well nigh crushed with the weight of ills charges us to hope for that peace which then he announced to men through the ministry of angels he has promised to bestow likewise on us for the hand of the Lord is not shortened that he cannot save neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear during these days then of most happy augury venerable Brothers wishing to you and to all the faithful of your churches all joy and prosperity we earnestly pray The Giver of all good gifts that a new to men may appear the goodness and kindness of God our savior who after having snatched up from the power of a ruthless enemy has raised us up to the most exalted Dignity of being sons of God and in order that our vows may be the more speedily and abundantly satisfied join with us venerable brothers and addressing to God fervent prayers invoking also the patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary ever Immaculate and of her spouse Joseph as also of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul in whose intercession we greatly confide and in the meantime with inmost affection of heart to you venerable Brothers to your clergy and to all the faithful throughout the world as a harbinger of the Divine gifts we impart our

LsuVQqonO44	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsuVQqonO44	Uncovering the Secret Behind Arizona's Real Estate Market Surge!	welcome welcome to the rickhouse real estate show I am back after not coming on on Monday I was out camping at my favorite spot loss Dutchman State Park and it was beautiful out there but it's kind of starting to get a little too warm so so we'll uh see how many trips I can do out there before we bake like in the oven so I thought we'd dive in and just kind of take a look at what's going on in our spring Market it's not officially spring yet is it um I don't know hard to keep track but let's take a look here at what's going on uh Monday was not a good day for interest rates and it didn't go up a lot but uh hello Kanan I want to know how many uh showings you had this weekend on your new listing we're at 6.61 now it's kind of trending positive meaning that rates are probably going to go down a little bit today now you can find a mortgage rate lower than 6.61 this is just a national average and it's a survey good morning Stephanie good to see you again and so but they have edged a little bit higher there's a little movement in the bond market it's not really volatile but uh there's some stuff that went on in Europe that kind of made everybody a little edgy but here take a look at this the uh listings under contract continue to climb and I'm seeing that in my seven day moving average and you can see here that uh although it's tiny over here on the right hand side we have gone up from 3 100 homes over seven days to 3 300 homes and not a big jump 200 homes but as you can see on the ticker below current inventories below 13 000 now so there's just not a rush to put new homes on the market and it's affecting um choices out there for you if you're out there looking to buy a home there's uh not much available and here's the Crawford market index kind of starting to Edge a little bit higher and I wanted to put this into perspective too because everybody likes to look at 2019 so that's the green line down here look at this we're finally starting to reach as far as the Crawford market index the pre-pandemic levels interesting Sean says the rate of change of inventory reduction is increasing I think let's take another look at that chart yeah 13 000 yikes let's look at the actual number of homes that are on the market I think I pulled it up um I don't think the rate is you know we're not getting what do I want to say how do I say so it's not going down faster it's continuing the same rate but we are below our 2020 uh inventory level now right here and this is where they told us to stay home so everybody took their homes on the market nobody wanted people walking through so so we can't compare to 2020 at all so it's always helpful I think to go prior to that go to 2019 and see where we're at and see and again that's the green line 2019 at this time we had 17 618. I would like to see us above seventeen thousand with a 5.5 interest rate if I could snap my finger that's what I would pull up for everybody Keenan here talking about his listing said overall was a good first week and had four showings and one canceled agent said about 12 people came to the open house and got an offer but too low under list price for me hang in there you got an offer that means you're going to get another one um taking a look at average list price per square foot this one's a little interesting to me in that barely moving up so we're a little level there and that's that's a good sign there aren't as many listings but at least they're not trying to shoot the prices through the roof here on the average list price now this kind of gets affected a little bit by the high end of the market because they don't tend to list the closer we get to Summertime and the areas that are seeing a decrease right now in uh in sales are expect as expected are the over 55 areas there they're all packing up heading home especially the Canadians they have to be out of here Lewis good morning um Luis am I saying that right Lewis Bale so um so they got to get back they can only stay here 183 days so they have to head out now we're looking at this number that I came across this morning it's interesting housing units under construction okay these are the red line is single family houses okay see how that's going down the blue line is multi-family houses interesting huh two units or above so there is a lot of multi-family Apartments uh build to rent homes going under construction now um I don't know if they call count those build Durant homes as uh multi-family I don't think they do so that would be included in that red line um what do you think about listing over Mother's Day weekend you won't get a lot of foot traffic on that Sunday like if you were to have an open house you wouldn't get much but with inventory being as low as it is people will go out and look at homes on that weekend so I would not hesitate um you know get well to getting this good I think is what I want to say you'll notice all the birds were gone on the golf course yesterday they flew home yes Terry this episode is Bonkers trying to stay that way now this part's interesting here very interesting comment by Janet Yellen the treasury secretary says the banking meltdown could actually do the fed's work for lower inflation without sparking a recession isn't that convenient so if banks get into trouble we won't have to raise rates and we won't have a recession and uh and things will just work its way out and we're going to have a smooth Landing she's saying last month banking crisis in U.S could still hurt businesses by making loans harder to come by but treasury secretary Janet Yellen believes it could also help the U.S economy find its way to the Goldilocks zone where growth slows down just enough that inflation Peters out but not so much to collapse we will see how that works out let's see they got a comment here that says just keep acknowledging your wrong forecast in September yeah I think I probably had a wrong forecast I don't try to go out too far so I thought I thought when interest rates came up that we were really going to see things uh tank and they did you know we came down 15 to 17 percent I didn't see this turnaround coming while rates were still in the sixes so we learn as we go forward but at least we keep you on track of it here DT I'm in new home sales San Town Valley area it's pretty consistent flow of traffic and sales you guys are busy I'm saying that a lot um our eye buyers being considered as distressed sales for appraisals would they included or no um they don't have enough traffic out there right now not enough sales I think they only had maybe 200 last month I'd have to look um but no it's not not hurting appraisals that they're not calling them distressed um because they're not a foreclosure so Stephanie says I've read yesterday that bank's credit squeeze may make it tighter to qualify for a loan we're seeing some of that I'm not saying a lot we're seeing more of it in the small business loans um so we're not seeing we're seeing a little bit tighter in The Lending business for mortgages so not enough to knock people out and most of the tightening that you see isn't so much the credit score as it is the debt to income ratio so the FHA will move that and sometimes they move it on a daily basis so if your debt to income ratio was okay at 43 percent last week it might be down to 41 this week so that's where the tightening comes from now as far as migration check this out this is no surprise to anybody this is showing where people are coming from but this is um clicking on the wrong thing there there we go this is from Redfin and they based this on where people are searching so moving from or the blue lines and moving to are the what do I want to call this kind of a almost brown line so a lot of people in California are clicking homes in other states I want to leave I want to leave and where they're clicking is Arizona and Texas and it's always been that way even when I lived in California in the 90s and and the economy started to tank everybody was looking at Texas and but the biggest winner in all of that or loser depending on how you look at it was Idaho just seemed really popular let's go to Idaho their skies are blue because the smog was so bad in California you were just looking at places to go that didn't have smog but look at Florida more than 43 000 people were searching to move into Florida most of those are coming from right up here up in New York so I don't think the California people are looking to relocate to Florida they're trying to get to some drier States but this is interesting this is kind of a Montana Wyoming um and North Dakota it's a wash I fact maybe that just means nobody's looking to move there I'm not clicking to see if there's anything going on in Montana I don't have the the bones for that kind of weather anymore so as we go forward this week I don't expect too much of a change I think it will be a slow sale weekend as we get to uh I think Mother's Day is coming up right if you look at the effect that holidays have I mean you can look over here and see Easter see that's that dip there that little tiny dip is Easter these are other major holidays there so um you'll see some some impact but not a lot I think if you're trying to put your home on the market this weekend by all means do it because even if you don't have a good weekend you'll have a good week and the first week is the time when you uh when you see most of the eyeballs on your listing after the first week the it kind of comes down unless you make a price adjustment Keenan's asking if I got starlink set up on my RV I did I got The Big Dish delivered and I put it out and I was experimenting with the let me know if any of you out there have starlink um I find it interesting because I'm thinking what difference does it make if you lift it up higher because it's going to a satellite does 10 feet make a difference so I had it on the ground I did a speed test I put it on top of the picnic table and it was faster not a lot but it was faster I go that's only three feet so I took it over and I put it on the top of my pickup truck and it was faster yet again so okay I'm gonna go ahead and get the pole and I'm gonna mount it on my uh on my RV and shoot it to the moon but it's uh it's pretty slick I decided not to do a uh live stream yesterday morning using it because I just wasn't quite prepared but I'm going to get that way because when I travel I'm still going to keep up these uh these shows so DT hey stay here and hang in with me and as I travel up to Washington State um I'm leaving May 9th but I'm going to continue to do the shows and hey let me while I have you on here let me see where I'm sitting as far as my million millions of views let's see let me check this out I am sitting at drum roll nine 996 491 so that means we're probably going to hit 1 million views I think by Thursday it will be party time um Jason says I'm not throwing in Italian months of inventory will go up late summer early fall and prices will experience dip number two how big of a dip Jason it could um but we're gonna have to see a reason for homes to get listed and I know in your market up there up in the Northwest you'll probably see um some listings come on in the summertime uh looking forward to your Roadshow thanks I'm looking forward to it too I'm getting a little nervous though it's coming up pretty quick what do you think about blackstone's 30 billion dollar investment in rentals uh that's a stretch they're putting it out there they feel like uh you know rentals are the way to go um it's their they've backed away from buying single-family homes um uh you know they're going to get the return on their money we're seeing vacancy rates start to go up but not an alarming Trend we are seeing more and more build direct communities coming in I saw an article on that again this morning and those are going up all over the valley and when you think about it um if you're going to rent an apartment and you're paying I'll just say 2 000 bucks a month for a two bedroom um those build to rent homes are more attractive because nobody's above you I mean your neighbors are really close to you but not like they are in an apartment and you've got a little Park that you can walk through you got a swimming pool some of them have little tiny backyards that are dog friendly so I can see the appeal some of them that I've driven by just look horrendous and I could wouldn't want to wouldn't want to live there but then again you know apartment living is not very attractive either especially when you hear footsteps I know my son had a place in Tempe and this lady lived above him she went out of her way to be noisy and it drove him absolutely crazy and management well you know you can submit a complaint they wouldn't do a thing about it he finally had to move before he went Bonkers Terry Jay says many factors will push up listings be a good video I say price is down 10 from this year's Peak you're gonna swing a dollar on that one I got one right here I might as well lose another dollar Jason I lost one to Pat because I didn't think rates would come down so we keep guessing we'll see what happens well look everybody we will see you again thank you very much for tuning in hope everybody has a fabulous Tuesday talk to

Are-UvorODo	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Are-UvorODo	Dr. Sayed Ammar Nakshawani - Burka / Niqab - Islamophobia? - Live In London S3	[Music] assalamu alaikum wa taala oberek are to welcome to live in london this special show on this special Sunday evening recently we had the member of parliament make controversial comments in regards to the Muslim dress code the burqa the niqab he referred to Muslim women as looking like litter boxes burglars this obviously provoked a very very angry response from Muslims and non-muslims alike but what is the historical and the fit the rulings in regards to the niqab as Muslims are we supposed to cover our faces or is this just monster huh boy is it just cultural furthermore we have the likes of France and Denmark having campaigns to ban the vodka where does where does this lead to and how can we as Muslims react and respond to such situations surely we also have the freedom to dress how we want to is another right of every human being ensure I would discuss this and a lot more wait doctor said I'm on actually so now our little doctor alaykum assalamu not allah doctor very controversial very very you know you know in trend right now but are we as muslims the only religion to actually cover ourselves and cover our faces well I think what was disappointing about the statements that were made and I know that we have so many viewers who are from outside of the UK who may be asking well what exactly has taken place and you've got you know a person who was in a political position in this country respected political position as you know Mayor of London or in a foreign secretary position who described a certain spectrum of Muslim woman who have the face veil on as similar to letter boxes and even similar to burglars and what was disappointing about such statements is that he was the mayor of what is arguably the most cosmopolitan city in the world there is no City and I'm proud to say this as a Londoner and I'm proud of having been raised in London and for me there is no place on this earth like London I'm proud to say that you know you could look around June you could see people of different faiths people of different backgrounds denominations who are able to live together in peace and harmony you know on one Street you may be having a neighbor who may be of the Sikh community or you may be having a neighbor of the Jewish community and you're absolutely right to a new state that they also have forms of head covering if you look for example within the Sikh religion the turban or the desktop that they wear you'll find that many will wear it until today in some cases with a view of it being obligatory in other cases with a view of it being recommended but the basis of it is a form of honor form of reverence a form of respect and dignity for that person some of those was a full identity identity as well as an I felt sorry for some members of the Sikh community in the aftermath of 9/11 when they got attacked because people thought they were Muslims yeah you know and then you've got members of the Jewish community in London who will wear the kippa and when they're wearing it again you'll find that some of the Orthodox Jewish community members will wear it on the basis of it being obligatory then there'll be others who may say well it's not obligatory but should be encouraged with the children from a very young age in other words Islam is not unique in the fact that it talks about a head covering with an understanding of honor and dignity and respect and reverence surrounding it and we've lived in London for so long where interfaith has been part and parcel of the success of many of these religious communities you go to virtually every council in the London boroughs and you'll say that you'll see that there is an interfaith group where members of these religions come together and they're able to benefit and learn from one another like I'm speaking next week at San interfaith event on the concept of sacrifice in Islam and Christianity with a priest of the Christian community and there is that lovin that respect that is there so it was very disappointing when this was said because it then antagonizes who does it antagonize firstly it may antagonize members of the Muslim community secondly even members of the non-muslim community who are disturbed when a person dictates well this is the exact way that you have to dress then there are certain with maybe extreme opinions about how this country does not give rights to Muslims who will use that to then further explore angles of even terrorizing in this country as and when someone comes and says why is it that some of these bomb blasts have happened if you're going to have comments like this you're feeding that type of person antagonizing that type of person who's now making an excuse to say well if he's gonna take the mick out of my mother's for example face veil and we know that the face veil is not something which is seen in the majority of the members of the Muslim community but it exists likewise the kippa is not gonna be seen on every member of the Jewish community for example in London but it exists likewise there are many Sikh who do not wear the turban but still it exists when I'm now gonna make fun of it and say let's a box or burglars I'm feeling and I'm also feeling another group the racist establishment because we could see around the world at the moment there's a lot of racism that's creeping in a racism where it's very normal to mock not just religion but to mock the beliefs of a group of a particular religion and now for certain people and especially white supremacist groups whether it's here or whether it's other countries well they're gonna say well if a top official can make such comments what's there to stop taking our our venom on these people and that's why you find that there are reports that certain ladies who've decided in their life to wear the face veil were the victims of hate attacks what many but it doesn't have to be many could be one acid attack could destroy the whole fabric of a community likewise it could be one push towards the middle of the road can kill someone's life so we have to look at this and try and come together to explain the background of this because I think all so many Muslims are uncertain face well obligatory not obligatory is the veil obligatory not obligatory yeah in regards to developing obligatory or not obligatory I mean what does the Quran have to say in regards to that I mean surely it mentions about the hijab and covering of the hair is it that today extent does it not go on further to discuss anything about covering the face at all I don't think on I don't think the Quran uses the word hijab in relation to covering the hair therefore on YouTube if you find certain people who are saying that there is no verse in the Quran which tells you wear a hijab on your head I think they're right there is no verse in the Quran that says gets a head job and put it on your head but then we have to look at the evolution of the word hijab words evolve the coinage of terms is a study within itself if you look in or sole effect there is a chapter in or soul affair where they discuss the evolution of a particular term how did this term originated linguistically and how did it evolve into the legal definition we call the discussion the discussion of a term that is tahini or to a uni you may have a word like Salah Salah in its origin means da later on Salah became associated with praying five times a day yep you may have a word like fatty-fatty in the origin of the word someone who is deep and well versed in religion the evolution of the term has undergone a number of steps one of them being for example jurist today when you say Fatih you're referring to jurist originally it's a fact of fifteen didn't only say go and learn law but there's been an evolution in the term so a no solid fit when one is looking at what and the discussion of tahini entire uni there are terms that evolve even the word Fatih how is it looked at by a debate a Linstrom how do they define who a Fatih is how important is the title of fatty to one of their companions to our understanding of a tradition likewise with the word hijab the word hijab the coinage of the term has undergone an evolution if you're asking me where in the Quran does it say that there should be a veil on the head of a woman then when you're looking for a job you look for the wrong word the word hijab is what we use today for that in Arabia the head covering was known as the hem are you noticed with alcohol being an intoxicant it's called hammer but why is it called hammer because it's that which covers one's reasoning likewise the hem are was seen as a cover the Arabian woman used to already wear that word Tamar is the word that you have to look for if you're trying to find out what is head covering in the Quran and in surah 24 verse 31 Allah subhana WA Ta'ala gives an order to the Muslim woman with the word mr mallya Verena been tomorrow in a large oven let them now draw their veils over their chest area over their bosom area this arabian woman used to already cover their heads but the neck and chest area was showing when the quran said while red nebula Morahan now what was the quran telling us the quran was telling us now tell this woman to draw their veils that they already have on over their chest area therefore when a person's looking for the head covering in the Quran if I go on youtube today I'll find that there are many videos on YouTube today would say there is nothing mentioning hegemonal Quran I job the only thing that's mentioned about it is that it's a barrier that exists say between a man and a woman well I'm not looking for the word hey Jon the word hijab is what linguistically later on may take a legal connotation in certain traditions but if I'm looking for the word mr well they are webinar before Morahan Maharaja will be here that's when I find the word for head covering in the Quran because today I receive many emails of people saying if it's not in the Quran why should I wear and then we see for example the actions of the and elevate her name is Stella and the explanations of the added weight have the idol bait said that there is no head covering in the Quran then why should we cover our heads but when we look at the traditions of a debate who are the walking Quran who are the SAP Alain alongside the Quran then we find that they tell us that now that veil that you're wearing you jur it over this bosom area yeah we like to remind all our viewers that this is a live show that you can call in with your questions on o2 o3 five one five zero one nine nine or if you're alternatively you could what stop it to us on the lower third and a good number should be there you can what's up your question it shall have the sale we'll be able to discuss that with you saying that you're discussing the quranic ayah saying to the ladies to you know cover their chest and below me personally I've got females in my family I've got sisters in cousins and stuff and unfortunately some of them don't wear hijab and what is the best method to go and to discuss do they have every right not to wear the hijab is it something that should be taught to them and they make their own choice or is it something that is compulsory upon all Muslim women to wear well there's no doubt that it's obligatory whether you're looking at you know she I've shown you schools and their legal systems there's no doubt that it's obligatory but maybe sometimes how its explained to them has a bearing sometimes you have people who are able to explain it properly there are others if you tell them surah 24 verse 31 they don't know the ayah there are others who may have their own interpretation or go through you know they'll say well in my opinion there is no ayah so why should I be wearing hijab then there are others the the pressure of their society sometimes gets to them where you find that in some cases they'll say well me and hey job you know and when we're talking high job now we're saying what we use is the term today that that mixture of physical and social modesty not just physical because you know it comes as a combination the man is and etiquettes are just as important as the clothing ones we're in the life of any human being for that matter I think you'll find some who may turn around say well I think I look better without covering my my head and you know it's a major sacrifice there's no doubt if a person was to look at Abraham's story with his son when he sacrifices him look at the subliminal rather than the literal message and the subliminal message is that each of us have a sacrifice in our life there is absolutely no doubt that everyone wants to show the finer parts of their body and everyone wants to wear that which shows the finer parts and everyone also wants to reveal their hair and the colors of their hand the styles of their hair and so on and so when we sit here as men discussing this issue it's easy for us to sit down and say well you know what you have to wear because the Quran is saying you have to wear and so on but we also appreciate that there are some who may be down in terms of you know in terms of their feelings that they feel well if I wear it then I may not get married guys are not attracted to me because I'm not wearing and some guys don't help as well because I believe that the whole head job issue the whole veil issue men are as much involved in the success of it as woman when you have certain Muslim men who are like well I don't want to marry a girl that covers that is quite an arrogant statement to make and that also is condescending in a way to some of our sisters as well that drew where and to those who don't wear when you're telling them that you know what I don't want you to wear which in reality means that I really don't care what the little betaf said it's my life and I decide you know what you do and what you're doing I think at that stage some give in to that pressure then there are others who may turn around and say to you that listen you live in a country which is cosmopolitan like London whereas I may be living in a certain part of the world where I'm stared at because I wear that hedger and it is true there are certain sisters of ours who go and study in certain places in the world where until today there may be people who are not used to the high job doesn't mean that they're gonna be racist but they're just not used to and it's extremely difficult at that beginning then there are people out there who may not wear the hijab but don't write them off because at the end of the day any second they may decide that you know what I want to wear the veil I think this is the time for me to wear the veil I do wish that we were told when we were gonna die so that we could at least you know if I know I'm gonna die at 50 then I can at least mess about for 49 years and then you know be religious in my life yeah but I think when I don't know I think that's the only thing that one has to bear in mind that any second you could return back to your Lord why with everything that your Lord has given you why would there be this one area in particular which you don't want to give in to and then that is once personal relationship with their Lord wife we're looking at the teachings of the end elevator never salaam then physical hijab is as much and as important as the social her job as well excellent Fela what about you know the freedom of expression and and you know the different types of fashion that people would like to adopt which is perfectly acceptable and halal in Islam so you know sometimes they will be you know loose clothing and then sometimes the different styles like they can wear the headscarf are about university there was old there was a big commotion in regards to the turban head job the camel hump a job and so many and so forth you can see online and there's even tutorials on YouTube now or how to do these different types of hijab I mean is there room for this in Islam yeah I think there's room for this I think there is room for this I believe that the generation that had to grow up in the West have worked their socks off to try and maintain their identity they have to juggle a number of identities in some cases for example you may juggle being British RRP muslim shia number of identities you're juggling and i think in many cases it's not that they want to give in their modesty but they want to show that you know one i could be respected as well this garment that i'm wearing shouldn't make you think that I am wearing it because I'm uneducated oh I'm illiterate no I know the principles of my religion I know why I believe in and this that I'm wearing actually is part of my growth and part of my empowerment and then hamdulillah we have sisters out there who the struggles they've gone through and how they have overcome them and the work they've done as doctors as dentists as lawyers as people in finance and hearing and media and so on phenomenal work so there are many men out they've always want to pick on things that well look at her she's got a colorful her job or look at her she has and you know what how do you have to look at yourself you know sometimes you may be someone who has certain jurisprudential things you're not necessarily living up to in terms of the teachings of a debate if it's someone in your household there's always a reminder you can always remind each other and I think I want to be model one day I didn't want car does have a place but you know if your house is made out of stone then your house might have glass and all throw stones that everybody out there yeah excellent saying what about you know the practicalities are wearing it some of our sisters want to go to the gym some take jogs in the morning Shirley wearing the hijab and and then the cover is just it's impractical especially living in London especially in the summertime with all the heat well I think what then begins to happen is in the Quran Allah subhana WA Ta'ala begins to show us that an outer covering an extension of what you're wearing is something which is obligatory now I don't care if that's outer covering is you know Naik or Dolce and Gabanna you know there's different outer coverings now because they're now even doing abayas and they're doing sports where's all these big designers and fashion houses and so on and I think there's nothing wrong because the Quran mentions that wearing the head covering and your basic clothing to protect your modesty there needs to be an outer layer if you look in surah 33 verse 59 of the Quran yeah you Hannah be a Polyakova burn Attica when the Sun momineen you mean a lady named Angela BB him Veronica Edna you AR othn awfully ordained the Quran says and all the prophets all your wives your daughters and the believing woman to wear an outer garment that outer garment was to preserve their modesty ensure that they're not hurt by others out there you know when we look at that me true campaign that took place many Muslims remain quiet at that time when me true happened and it's as if there were many Muslims were like I told you so you kept on telling us we look like we're wearing too many layers and used to take the mick out of you know how a woman by saying that they're woman are oppressed and shackled how many in Hollywood came out and said he touched me he groped me he pinched me he ordered me to do this and that it was disgusting what happened to these ladies but maybe that's why Islam was saying that the outer garment may be a form of protection now don't get me wrong we are Muslim men who are as bad if not worse than some of these people who had indecent ly assaulted and disrespected the woman in in in Hollywood's and other other areas you know there are so many woman who can't speak out because these woman in many cases they have families to look after households to look after and so when they groped at work the very person who had made the comment about you know these woman with the face veil looking like letterboxes was known to have even made comments in the past about you know power woman on her you know on her backside and tell her to move on when you want something done and so on that that type of comment is why Islam was saying that listen do you want to go to the gym you want to go for a jog you know what these are not haram thing more than welcome but trying to wear something which is a bit more loose fitting in the hope that this would build a society with a bit more modesty fantastic saying that what about in terms of the makeup and in terms of you know the face covering you know surely you know some women are way wake up and others refuse to away the face covering and does Islam actually tell us that we have to wear the face covering does it tell us that this is mandatory and I mean I mean did did that person actually have a right to actually go and have an attack on this piece of clothing it's an interesting question because when you're looking at that same ayah surah 24 verse 31 there is the part of that I if you look at the beginning what little MOT Menotti of laudanum in Apsara hidden away a farmer for johanna tell the believing woman to lower their gaze and to protect their privacy well I hope Dena zina tahuna allama Haram in Ha and to not reveal that which adorns them except that which is the parent now someone says what does it mean well I obtain as units or net a llama but hard I mean how what does that mean the idea was that for example I'm a Muslim if I'm almost the moment living at a time I've got for example you know all my finest jewelry and necklaces and everything that is an adornment for me that is now to be covered in this new concept of modesty except for what except for my face and my hands that is what can be showing that was seen as the majority opinion of many scholars that they say that a Muslim woman can show their face and control their hands for example some may have extended even to the feet and they base this on traditions for example in the Shia school based on traditions in two ways either you go to a mammal bathroom in Masada Holly Salam which is where we get most of our traditions where when they asked what is the definition or the tafseer or the meaning of well I obtained a Zeenat Sehun a Lamar Amina they reply by saying that you cover the tournaments except your face and your hands and that's why you'll find the majority of Muslim woman who for example maybe covered their face is showing and their hands are showing and you'll find that for example scholars like Ayatollah Sistani may Allah bless him and give him a long life you'll find that he will say that the face can be showing and that the hands can be shown however if you are showing the face in the hands then do for example do not use the face on the hands in a way in which you're gonna be attracting those with lustful intentions now that brings about the discussion so for example if you're saying that a Lama the Herriman ha is referring to being allowed to show the face and the hands someone else okay kind of woman put makeup on when Muslims you'll have this many who look for black and white so there'll be some who'll say no makeup at all and there'll be others will say no I want to wear makeup completely on my face and I think there's a balance like everything there should be a balance even on this area now you'll find the Maharaja not gonna say to you you cannot wear makeup at all there may be certain people we have to admit this that there may be certain to make skin defects for example or skin issues they may some have sports acne and so on and they may want to cover that and and also some may put subtle makeup on you know you know ones no one's saying that you put like you know a particular type of lipstick which you know is bringing that attraction but there may be something more subtle than that and then there are those that the who for example will say well if I to Lhasa Stanny allows us to show our face our hands the report nail polish for example and once again I do lassie Stanny puts the condition in his discussion that the Quran has said yes you cover your head but your face can be shown your hands can be shown but if what you put onto your hands onto your face is gonna bring about that wrong immoral you know actions from yourself and from the men and I have to stress on the men because when the ayah says were called lil mama naughty before that it's a little moment in your domain up sorry I'm way a father for job tell the believing men to lower their gaze so for as much as discussing that okay there is a veil and whether there's a face well there's no face veil there's a major stipulation for four men to be the ones who are part of the growth of this moral society as well and today people say well you know so I can't put nail polish on well why are you putting the nail polish on your obviously putting nail polish on because you think that that nail polish is something which which looks good and some will say yeah but you know that's all I I don't want to attract anybody else out there with it but then in May in the greater picture there may be others who will use these to bring about you know attraction and so on and that could lead to immoral acts for example so so when you've got this some will say okay well now there's nail polish and they'll say okay how about nail posh where I want to wear it and it's not got really a color because now there's a nail polish color called nude don't ask me how I know these things but you know sometimes you research these things and you come up with with interesting facts but they ask about war and then someone will say well I went to a store and it's very interesting they asked me can you wear you know nail polish if the water what do they say the water will go through yeah well I'm not a mulcher and nail polish and I don't think you know agile a Sistani is has got a chapter on on nail polish but if you ask the experts in there they'll tell you whether this actually is something which you can do over in or no there are you know Muslim sisters who work in these areas will be able to tell you the reality of these things for example well say what about hen know because hen is really recommended and and you know our sisters we're even many wear it you know there are certain things which are recommended by the time in a place if you're gonna wear hand amongst the ladies of the community no harm whatsoever you know wear makeup amongst the ladies of the community you got your wedding wear as much makeup as you want but try and make sure that when the quran has said the stipulation that you can show your face the quran is saying also the hadith and the you know the scholarly opinion are saying to us that maintain it within the world or modesty now when we come so that's opinion therefore you'll find Ayatollah Sistani you know the great scholars many of them would have said that you are allowed to show your face and hands but there are a couple of scholars who said no amongst them Ayatollah Hawaii Allah who a may Allah bless his song the greatest of you know jurists and teacher of so many renowned jurists who have you know who are alive or have passed away he cites for example certain traditions which he then builds an opinion that no the woman should be wearing for example a face veil there is a particular tradition that he cites where one of the Companions of the Imams asks them about seeking the witnessing of a woman for a particular court case this can be found in in key table steps are of sheriff posse and state of Hawaii looks at this discussion because the Imam actually tells the person that she should be covering her face to a certain extent because they want to verify how can we verify that is her before she witnesses and this is a difficult sensitive moment and the Imam says that she should be covering a majority of her face you could for example see the eyes and that's about it and that's only because she's got to testify or he's got to testify in court otherwise someone like a jalan hui myself of the belief that the the muslim woman should be one who covers her face now what's interesting is that sometimes when you look at Jill Bob which we mentioned earlier you'd need a holly Hinnom Angela BB hey no you look at Chad or or you're looking at these things when the ladies in Iran or in her up in some case will speak to they'll go like that so they're not walking the street necessarily going like that when someone is coming to them who they may not know they will for example cover their face so you're not actually wearing a niqab but the way they put the eye by or the way they put the cheddar or the way they put the you know the menthe or you know cup covering that comes with the abaya they put it in a way in which they're trying to cover their modesty with loose-fitting clothing and so on so one may argue that today and the application of that could be that rather than just having a face well directly the application maybe that's a you know someone might be wearing a looser garments and covering their face on the foreigner because I feel awful it talks about the person there's someone who's Mataram you know they may it may be a bit that person's decent person someone close that you and interestingly if you're looking at elk a fee or man liable for K or a little char of sidewalk so true books of jacques lacan one book of Cheryl Collini they all give narrations about far 20 Sahara Holly Salaam showing her face now then there's this major debate that takes place what's the reliability of the tradition I'd love we discusses the reliability actually Sistani amongst others you know the author of the Jawahar and others who who are looking at is it true that fat monster rush or the face dead funds are not shown face just to anyone wasn't just a job when abdullah al ansari or just to salman al-farsi mohammed ii matahari also discussed so you've got all these people who discussed this that you know the face veil if fart what is our our little arms face was seen that means that that face veil is not obligatory whereas Allah who will say but if the Imam is talking about then your club being worn for this woman who's got to testify in the school case or who they have to testify on behalf of why would the idol bait sell her to you know be in that state unless they're giving us the indication that the woman the majority of her face should not be able to be seen this area above the nasal and below the forehead so it's interesting how they go back and forth in their discussion of this yeah yeah suddenly you mentioned say Hawaiian you mention she sources in regards to the new club what about other schools of thought in Islam do they have any you know ruling in the last days do they say is washable was to have to cover the face it's interesting because if you're looking for example at at this state like Saudi Arabia for example and for a long time in Saudi Arabia you had this you know these laws especially for going to Mecca and Medina majority of the woman that you see are all wearing a knee up and always I used to find it interesting when I'd sit in a in a Burger King in Mecca for example and you know you're you're smashing that whopper absolutely destroying and and you've got this lady who constantly has to go like this you know she takes the the niqab off and she has a bite and then she puts it back and I think you'll see this in Dubai you'll see this in other parts of the world and I'm not making fun of that lady because it takes a lot of Eman a lot of you know faith a lot of respect and modesty for her to continuously but you'll find that inside your area for example the scholars of the Salafi school I'd say probably three of the most famous scholars of the Salafists cool contemporary I've been bars they've been or they mean and al albani you'll find that a couple of them have said that it's obligatory and the other for example has pointed to the fact that it's most to have rather than why chip and it's interesting when you're looking at the discussions there's that famous hadith in sahih al-bukhari I thinks I'm gonna be what cast narrates it where omar anoke a table walks in where there's this woman chatting to the Prophet they've raised their voices against the Prophet and then when Omar walks in they all of a sudden you know are scared is like well you're scared of me walking in and all of us and why would the Prophet you're not and they're like well I'm all you're fearful and you're fierce and the Prophet famously peace be upon his family says by the one who's in whose hand my soul is when Shaitaan sees you going on one path he goes on another path so when Shaitaan would see how Marhaba because of how faithful and frightening our modern al-kitab was Shaitaan would always look to take another path but what's interesting is that these woman recognized Omar's coming there sitting with the Prophet and their faces are seemingly showing then you have a more interesting incident I've been my generates where they're usually it's beautiful lady who used to pray behind the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon his family issues to pray in JAMA but she when she used to come and pray everybody would be like you know I want to go JAMA and when they'd all want to go to Jamaa the narrations would mention that they'd go because in rock or they want to look at her as they're going on their way down now she was wearing a face veil they're not all gonna turn up and try and look at her yeah we're gonna go to a break now saying that so inshallah we'll continue the discussion and you give us your questions in sha allah and after the break Salam alaikum o to lahore but a cartoon [Music] so now our a coromoto libera car to welcome back to live in London we were discussing the vodka and the new car our four lines are open so if you have a question you back to director to say it chorus on Oh two oh three five one five zero one nine nine alternatively you can get us on whatsapp the number should be on the lower third there said are you discussing the profit leading Gemara and and you know there was a lot of people coming to jihad there was a specific reason that they were coming could you please continue yeah these quite sexually frustrated Arabs in some cases you know they or I think it's just the climate sometimes that gets to them or maybe the richness of some of the food but there's this beautiful girl who would come and pray in the Gemara so you've got for example the Prophet praying and you've got rows of other German and then of course ladies can be behind and and what you have is that when this lady would be there these companions would would come and why would they come because in Recor they want to look through as they gone down and record they want to look through their armpits to see her face it's impossible I mean well I don't know you know the Arab could do absolutely anything sometimes and and these guys would would be there and some say that the iron the Quran surah 15 verse 24 was revealed about them while at Adam Delmas arena minkum well Adam 9 was tuck them in and was tucked the mean of course refers to those there was some who came before and some who came after so when the Quran said well most of the men I mean Kamala columnar Mustapha Dean it was saying that there are some of you who come early and then there are others of you who come late what's the intention the intention is to try and come and see who exactly that lady was now if that lady had covered her face then there is no way that they'll be looking forward to seeing but it's only because her face was showing and so some of the scholars say the fact that that lady's face was showing means that niqab was not obligatory so when the quran is talking about the most academia and the most ahead in its saying that these groups were coming there for that reason that her face was showing yep so no you mentioned in saudi arabia and this is what you saw i mean we have those countries out there that are implementing islamic sharia and islamic law does a country have a right to actually you know a force that her job as a law of the land as a state law and what about those who are not Muslim understand they don't want to wear the hijab or cover their head is debatable you know and I think if any country will try and make sure that their laws look after the honor and the growth of the intellect as well as the protection of people's property and religion and if that country believes that part of protection of the honor of the people is to ensure that modesty is safeguarded and that part of modesty being safeguarded is that the veil is to be worn up to the country at the end of the day and and the laws that they Institute and they're so people differ some say this is needed because they'll say listen if you allow a society where you tell all the men just and lower your gaze lower your gaze lower your gaze by every time the man turns somewhere you know there isn't much modesty then this could lead to immorality so why not for example Institute these laws others say no that you can actually build society by building the conscience of the people in the sense that they become more conscious of the respect that's needed now some people will say well you know what typical male view that males are the perverts but they blame everything on the females okay so there are certain societies in the world where the me true campaign spread no one's forcing the veil in those societies but this guy's you know touch this girl and this guy's done this to this gun this guy's groped this guy all four favors or all four extras so that they can go bigger and their banks or bigger and their films or they can catch you know have a roll and believe you mean if people will look at certain muslim-majority countries and be like backward illiterate third-world the moment that me to campaign begun a lot of those people started to go a bit quiet because the idea was we live in a society where whatever makes everyone feel good is what should be practiced okay so will everyone feel good and then we had these famous actresses who many of us have watched their films and admired and we did not know that she had to go through the following to get the role so maybe those people who are saying to you maybe that instituting the veil or modesty in certain Muslim countries is done to lessen the amount of occurrences of such behavior does that mean you completely stop it then other factors come in because then that goes towards the discussion of what type of punishments are entailed for the perverted male again people might turn around and say Islam backward archaic what's this men are to be punished are to be whipped out to be flogged a man who comes and gropes a another human beings daughter or a man who orders another human being sister to sexually perform an act for him so that she lands a role or a job that person has to be punished there are some in certain countries who did that they still not punished because they're big names with big contacts and no one didn't do anything to them and their stories have all gone so if someone today is saying to me that you know there are certain Muslim countries and that these Muslim countries are countries which Institute the veil in the institution of the veil is something that is oppressive okay then let's look at countries which never allowed for such institutions and it's so sad when we hear the number of ladies who are so bright and work so hard to reach where they are and the sexual acts that they had to perform as favors that's very sad yeah say look let's bring it back to London and what happened with that a member of parliament did he have a right to actually criticized the devale I mean some people say covering the face makes you know makes it very intimidating there's security issues and furthermore how as Muslims should we you know respond to criticism I mean did we respond in the right way I don't have a problem with someone critiquing any of the teachings of the religion of Islam I think many Muslims the moment someone questions certain beliefs or practices that they have straight away they'll shout Islamophobia I don't want to fall in the trap of those religions that always had that one word that you could always use if someone ever said something against you just throw that word on people I don't ever want to be you know someone who goes in that direction I don't mind anyone writing a whole critique of Islam and even disproving the veil but don't use terms like letterbox and burglars and things like that because that's insulting and that doesn't help bring the dignity of the seventh one we even in the Muslim community if we have someone in our community or for example is it's causing antagonism and causing people to hate Islam and we had certain personalities if you remember a few years ago where certain members of Muslim community differed with the ways that they were talking like Anjem Choudary and others we also in the Muslim community many of us turned around and we said that this is not acceptable the way this person is speaking about about non-muslims and so on so critique but with a bit of respect yeah I believe I have a caller on the line hopefully this time it's going to be working we have done all the tests so now our lake como tu lo you name it where you're calling from [Music] Oh lovely lovely to have you your question please for the same thank you very much for your question say now why do women have to go to such lengths to cover up and not as much describe for men a hundred times more beautiful than will ever my show that's the reality the male body and the female body you know I melt males can never come near the beauty of the female you know it's just a wonderful creation and and even when you're looking at for example you're looking at the Quran the Quran first addressed the the modesty of the men and as I said early on the show if men are not observing the hey job that is discussed for them that is prescribed for them then you can't expect the whole burden to be placed on the womenfolk of the society when the Quran said you know Khalil menina a hot woman Apsara him tell the believing men to lower from their gaze that is probably one of the hardest challenges that we have but we have to observe it it's a major sacrifice you know that one look there are some one extend that look for the whole day but you have to observe it you have to also build morality within society there are some who for example will say that even part of the male head job is the beard you know and there are many of us who may not want to have a beard we may want to be clean-shaven too many graves sometimes well the greys are cool is nothing wrong with the greys but that is also also there are for example certain in discussions concerning the hour of the male and I think that there are many Muslims you may not be observing this Muslim males who are always quick to point out that you know the female is not covered up properly when they are not covered up properly some on their on their Facebook or on their Twitter on there you know profiles on the internet you'll find that they don't mind showing themselves not wearing much that is not a charm you know so there's also that head job as well and I think the male's if they looked at the things that they were doing wrong and working on I think that will help build that moral Society in many cases sometimes when we're looking at the other gender what we don't realize as much of the problems are coming because of us yeah thank you say no we're talking about you know the critique and criticizing and we wanted to ask you how does Muslims respond to this I mean did we do it in the right way did with with you know cuz this this member of parliament what he said create a lot of anger and a lot of you know sparked a so like a little revolution within muslims and non-muslims are like what are the best steps for us to go and attack not attack but how to handle the situation whenever we as muslims are on the back foot well i think it's vital for us to be more politically involved or vital for us to be more involved in the world of media as well these two go hand in hand because in the world of media you're able to you know publicly be able to respond to these things all right articles about them be proactive rather than reactive so before he says anything like that writes an article in a major newspaper talking about the beliefs of you know all the laws of the religion so there's more awareness but politically at the same time you know i think it's important that we're there within the political scene in this country allows then you want to get to where he got you know in mayor of london before and then the mayor of london after him the Muslim Sadiq Khan so you know a person can get into those positions I think it will help us in the future so that were your permission if you go to some of the questions I have from the what's happen from the face book assister from Belfast there'll be many cases we see that Muslims are declined from jobs because they refuse to shake hands with the interviewer because because the interview is the opposite gender sometimes it's difficult for them because of their dress code and doesn't really you know work well with the uniform or of the workplace how do we deal with such a situation when one is compelled to sacrifice their career for the sake of wearing hijab it can be looked at from different angles either a may reach a stage where because of us making the governments of our you know where we live of our country is aware of our practices then the government's may Institute that there are certain laws to be instituted which states that if it is a woman of a particular religion or remember a particular religion and they say to you there's a religious reason for not shaking the hand then it can be done this is something that people may have to work towards but I find a lot of the different institutions and companies in the Western world I find a lot of them are very accommodating and understanding if you look at graduation day in some universities the Dean is already informed that you know if a girl comes wearing the veil then if you you know know that you don't you and you'll see many of them who may go like this for example when of the only culture in the world whose woman may not shake the hand of someone who's not related to them for example there are other religions and other cultures also believe in such things we may be a religion that may have contradictions so you may have a girl and her job on graduation David's coming up and she's like this and he's like that then you may have a another girl who may be coming home and she's like that and he's thinking was this a trick a moment or two questioned why don't I so those contradictions sometimes also baffle people but I think if it comes to the crunch and they're saying to you we will not offer you a job because of you wearing that headscarf then don't think about the sustained think about the sustainer God is you know the sustainer and he'll open other doors for you and Charlotte excellent another question are skinny jeans allowed for women well let's put it put out there are skinny jeans allowed for women and for men yeah you know it's difficult because you look so cool in some cases the skinny jeans and I think that if a person is able to wear them in a state of modesty as well so that's impossible because they can never be well you may have a woman out there who may wear for example a longer shirt and the only skinny part therefore is the the shin area I think Aslam tries to talk about the fact that you know there are certain body parts where where if the figure of that body part is showing or is clear then that's not to be counted as the Jill Bob for example but someone's wearing a loose a loose shirt or a jacket or something and underneath there is skinny jeans then there is no issue there but then ultimately the highest Lovaas the highest form of clothing in Islam is lobosdied haha the clothing of taqwa the clothing of being conscious of a last presence in your social and physical etiquettes because sit here all day and talk about skinny baggy loose slim fit skinny fit we can talk about all that all day there are those who know that when I'm wearing this this is gonna bring about attraction and it could lead to a more attained there are those who are gonna carry themselves in a way in which it won't so I think ultimately the person in there tuck one their relation with a last one - Allah is the best person to know what they are doing with such forms of clothing and the Quran says you know man is the best mirror for themselves however many excuses they make yeah sure sorry Sydnor are women allowed to win a carb in prayer and doesn't this stop their forehead touching the Tata box yes as we mentioned when it comes to Hajj or comes to Salah the faces to be showing and these are parts of the laws for the acts of worship others may say yeah these are specific laws for the acts of worship but when it comes to public interactions it's a different context yeah saying I believe we have a caller on the line so now I like um your name and where you're calling from who made your question please what you mean what what you want them to and what you don't want them to you're not picking up a gun on someone's daughter and telling her that listen if you don't wear this I'm gonna kick you out the house this attitude that many people have when they're when they want to get married that I as the guy I'm gonna tell the girl that this is exactly what I want you and what I don't want you to wear so you don't take uh someone's you know some random girl from the street you're taking someone's daughter who's been raised in a household in many cases of respect and modesty you build with each other spiritually you grow with each other I do believe in the idea that if you you have to be very clear from the beginning that if you intend to marry someone who is wearing the hedger or you intend to marry someone who you want to wear the hedge I make that clear from the beginning because there are some who say well in the beginning you didn't say anything now why are you telling me to do this now even though they should really be true concerned about him they should be more consummate last one to Allah but anyway but this this attitude that I want to tell her that this what she shouldn't know either you marry someone who's already wearing the veil and then both of you grow together or if you're gonna marry someone who doesn't wear the veil you want her to all of a sudden wear the veil then don't be impatient when you married her she wasn't wearing the veil you may have taken a couple of steps which in one way she may be take a couple steps spiritually and in another way because there are many who don't wear hijab but they are wonderful human beings but talk in a way in which you build and grow together there are some men out they will say well because my wife doesn't wear hijab that's enough reason for me to leave no bill together get closer to and invade there are the ladies of elevates that's a wonderful example where when you wore the hijab you were able to defeat the empires of your time you know those magnanimous speeches of the idol Bates and the face of tyrants like the tyrants of sham those are those are messages for us that you know what don't think that when you take a step in wearing the veil you may get people attacking you so designer you may get people mocking so did Xena you may get people betraying you so did Xena but ultimately who remembers zeyneb and who remembers yezi today yeah so you mentioned sada Xena we've heard that the vales were pulled off the women in Karbala could you please yes the woman at Karbala were all covering their faces so it was seen that the idol bait would wear the face veil it's not obligatory for some in in terms of their followers but I was seen that they would wear the face veil and these face veils were ripped off their faces and say the Zeynep tells yes Eden in the court in Sharm is it fair that you disgrace us by unveiling our faces so that all can see us from the stranger to the acquaintances from the noble to the ignoble while there is none to defend us so yeah they they had their face veil removed people were able to stare at them and see them for the first time some people try and say that you know the the hair was also showing because they see that for example in lines like the lines and they are at anahi Almohad essa when they read the lines nash errata show or for example some and say that that is you know clear and obvious that their hair was now exposed but you couldn't let out your hair in front of those people who are related to you doesn't mean you're letting out your hair in front of the opposition leaders or you let out your hair but under your veil as a sign of grief and contrast to the hair that's been placed in a particular bun for example which would be the sign of happiness with the arabs at the time yeah so the question from what's that so now montage question how do we differentiate between Christmas all so known as stuck there and predestination specifically in terms of getting married how do we know that this is a Las real if something bad happens or later on is this customer or Allah will or bad decision-making inshallah we have a discussion coming up on this in a couple of shows time we're looking at predestination and free and within that discussion will the we'll examine this yep say no when Europeans beginning to ban facial covering what should Muslims in the West too I mean we've already seen France Denmark have also you know joined the campaign with this happening in in London is it a matter of time with this some sort of international campaign to ban the book of full stop well as I said being politically involved as fundamental you know having a say in a democratic society I think it's something which we all have to appreciate as a is the Plus while many of us may take the legal opinion that that is not something obligatory but still it could be a domino effect if you begin with the face veil the next thing that could be removed could be the head fail or the veil of the hair so I think that Muslims must sit up and take notice but I also think that many non-muslims when they saw these weddings were disgusted by this language let's not make out like suddenly the whole country has supported a person who has said that you know ladies who cover their faces look like letter boxes or burglars the majority of the people that we see in this country have been extremely supportive majority of the people that we see in this country have said that listen I'm not gonna stop anyone wearing what they want to wear now that is a statement of truth with certain you know with certain I think with certain other aims you know sometimes someone says something truthfully that I don't mind what anyone wears everyone should be allowed to wear what they want that could also have other connotations what I think that they sincerely mean that if that lady and you know sometimes the image is given that those ladies who wear the niqab are all uneducated they come from villages and that's why they wear the niqab I think that that while in some cases that's true that there are certain ladies roommates some village in Afghanistan or in Pakistan or parts of Middle East where they were forced to cover their faces when they leave their houses there are also many educated woman who have decided that for us is the highest level of table the highest level of modesty possible so let's not try and give this impression that everybody in Europe wants this type of language there are many who are against this type of language and nor should we give this impression that those who to cover their faces are uneducated illiterate woman on the country there are people who have degrees from top universities who have decided that their that maybe the ayah that you know that sort of 24 verse 31 when I obtain a signature Honda Allah Libra Allah to him except to their husbands that they only want to show their face except to their husbands and to their family members that's a decision they've taken on in life but don't insult them by saying that these are uneducated woman you know I know that there are someone fairly forced to have that facial covering but then there are some who live in this country of decided that for them this is the highest form of modesty yeah savor any final point you want to give to our audience one question I didn't get a chance to ask you was what about those who have good clear intentions who may have a very strong relationship with a debate and a strong relationship with Allah subhana WA Ta'ala but don't cover their hair surely I mean is no covering the head is that exclude them from such mercy from allah subhana wa ta'ala and such oh don't worry about exclusion of mercy God has given me as merciful to people much worse than that and the door of mercy and the door of forgiveness is always open for anyone no should we keep entering this judgemental streak that has permeated the Muslim community where if we see someone who doesn't look religious by our barometer that means automatically those people we want to send them to hell we should be more concerned about figuring out how we're gonna get to that heavenly abode what as I said sometimes when you want someone to wear the the veil you're part of the growth you're part of the problem you're part of the solution so it shouldn't just always be males who are dictating this is how it should be done I think there are some brilliant role models who wear the veil I think you know they can be as inspiring as role models to these ladies but don't please be judgmental or rude towards anyone who in their life isn't because you know those people we don't know what circumstances have led them to this all we can do is say that we have the Great's of a little bit Halima salon and we try and emulate them as much as we can excellent thank you very much thank you and I thank you to all our audience for joining us insha'Allah we'll be back next week on Monday until then so now Allah Allah [Music]	Imam Hussein TV 3	UC1EEMoMgwhJE2_oGwK1kcsw	2018-08-25	Creative Commons

jV-nlup_jDs	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV-nlup_jDs	Define the outlet of a catchment in QGIS	if you want to define the outlet of your catchment then you need to take care that that outlet has to be on the delineated stream so in this case the blue line is the delineated stream that corresponds with the filled dem which is your model in reality however you want to measure the discharge maybe under this bridge because the river is here in this valley and this is a bridge and here it ends up in la gallagher the larger river so let's assume we want the outlet here under the bridge then we should not take the coordinate by clicking right here at the bridge because that doesn't correspond with your model you need to zoom in to the line click right and choose copy coordinate zooming in is needed because you need to be within the pixel of the dem which in this case is within five meters and then you can choose between two types of coordinates and you need to choose the one of the layer which is the same as the project and the dem and that's this first coordinate once you have copied that coordinate in the processing toolbox you can use that in the upslope area tool to delineate the catchment by simply pasting the coordinates here make sure you have the x and the y in the correct one and you choose here the field dem etc sometimes however you receive a file with the outlet so i'm going to simulate that i'm going to create here a temporary scratch layer i call this outlet point data type and in this case i make it in the well let's make it another projection let's assume i get it in latitude longitude coordinates [Music] and it has one attribute an id editing is toggled on so i can add a point here and i put it here on the bridge and that is our outlet now there are two problems with this file it is in the wrong projection and it needs to be snapped to the line so we can change the projection by clicking right choosing export save features as and you can save it to uh to your geo package or to a shape file whatever let me save it here to the filter database and i call this outlet and i change it to the correct projection and there it is i remove the other one we don't need that so now this purple point here is the outlet but it needs to be snapped to this line you can of course do that manually but there's also this tool snap geometries to layer and there we have our input layer which is the points and then we have our channels as the reference layer to be snapped to and we can then give a tolerance which is in the map units in meters here and let's say that it needs to snap there within a 100 meters and there are here different behavior settings so you can align it or the closest point and in this case i prefer the closest point on the line and insert extra vertices where required so it really goes to the closest point and then i'm going to save that also to the geopackage and i call this one snapped outlet run it and apparently this point was the closest so now it is here now i want to add the coordinates to the attribute table and there is a tool for that add x y fields to layer and you can choose here the projection that you want to add and it creates a copy i run it and i open the attribute table and here i get the x and the y coordinate of the snapped outlet if you click this button you can dock the attribute table so we have it here and then we can use the upslope area tool and you can simply do ctrl c ctrl v to copy the coordinate change this to the field dem [Music] and then we can use that to delineate the catchment sometimes however you get the coordinates just as numbers there's a plugin which is called lat lawn tools here we have the tools and you see that this is not activated yet so we need to create a new layer let's call it outlet from coordinates point and i have it in latitude longitude coordinates there's an id and now you see this is activated i'm just going to simulate this i have the coordinates and latitude longitude i'm going to copy that and so we assume of course that you have received that from somebody or from a gps and then you go to lat lon digitize and here you can enter the coordinate latitude comma longitude or if you want to change that then you need to change the order here in our case this is longitude latitude so we need to change this to longitude latitude you can also change to other datums that are used and do add feature give the id number here and here you see the point is placed let me switch off the other points save this now we have our point and we need to reproject it and then we can snap it now it's snapped there and then we can repeat the steps to add the coordinates and use that for the delineation in the same way as we did with the other methods that were explained in this video	Hans van der Kwast	UCHGe8ccP2z2wHQa6B04m4Lg	2021-08-01	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	935	4,716
1z2TNqlR4aE	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1z2TNqlR4aE	5 WAYS TO AFFORD TRAVEL - TOP WAYS TO AFFORD A VACATION	[Music] so you want to [Music] travel hey you guys and welcome back to my channel I hope you all having a fantastic week today I wanted to talk to you guys about how I save money to travel specifically U for those who don't know I spent several years traveling on board cruise ships as a singer so I got to travel all over the world and I have to say that experience kind of had the travel bug bite me so to speak so I am always saving money to travel uh and see more parts of the world that I didn't get to see these are my top tips for saving money to get out and travel tip number one is to create a savings plan figure out how much you guys can set aside each week for your travels I recommend also getting a separate checking account so that you can you know set that extra cash aside in a separate account away from your normal transactions your normal um checking and savings account you have it all right there tip number two should come as no surprise to anybody and it is to save as much money as possible do whatever you can to like cut corners or trim the fat whatever they say um the most popular ways I have seen this done and have done myself have been to pack lunches you know have dinners at home nights in instead of going out making my own coffee doing things my you know myself like diying certain things if you want to real quick check my how I saved $220,000 in a year video it talks all about the things that I did to save as much money as possible it gets into more detail but figure out what you can do what habits you have that you can give up just for a little while to put that money away tip number three is where a little bit more work comes in and it is to stay inspired get out a notebook put out pictures of where you're going make a Pinterest board uh for me personally I set my uh my iPhone background where I'm traveling just create constant reminders why you are sacrificing that lunch out or that gourmet coffee that you wanted on Fridays remind yourself why and think of the big picture sometimes I'll remind myself oh I'm not going to get this you know macchiato here at this coffee shop but when I go to Vienna I will get it you know at this coffee shop so it kind of reminds me okay I won't get it here in Ohio I'm going to get it somewhere else and it just helps me stay inspired ired if you remember why you're doing it you are more likely to stay on track tip number four is to book early this is for your traveling accommodations or needs obviously if you're staying with friends you don't need a hotel but if you are flying busing need hotels trains Transportation it is said and I wrote this down cuz I searched it it is said that Tuesdays at 300 p.m. 6 weeks prior to the travel are when things like flights trains but bus transportations are the cheapest I don't know if this is actually true I have read it I think I found it on like eight different sources it was all over the Internet so if you have done this before leave me a comment down below let me know if that is actually true but when I use if I'm flying and again not sponsored I like to use the website called Skyscanner what Skyscanner does is it lets you put in where you are where you're traveling how many people are going with you and the dates if you want round trip or you just don't care if you have stuff and it will go through every major airline and it will compare the prices and sometimes it saved me as much as like $200 for example I'm going to going to St Louis this spring and it was like $400 on this one site and it was the cheapest flight I can find then I typed it into Skyscanner and while Skyscanner couldn't give me a cheaper price it did have a little asterisk that said hey go to southwest.com they sometimes have like cheap deals if you book even earlier in advance like want to get away type of deals and I got it down to $200 round trip to St Louis so Tuesdays 300 p.m. 6 weeks before and if you are flying I recommend sky scanner and my last tip is to make sure you have money set aside to spend when you arrive on that vacation sometimes we focus so much on how much money it's going to take us to get there we forget to set aside money to do things while we're there there and there is nothing worse than getting to like your dream destination than realizing you didn't bring the extra funds or money to have that dinner see that show see that attraction go on that Excursion and do any of the types of things you wanted to do while you were traveling so my last tip is to make sure you set aside a little bit of money you might not know exactly what you want to do when you get there but set aside a spending budget or allowance while you are there anyway those are my tips for how I save money to travel if if I missed anything or you think there's anything good that I should know please leave them down in the comment section below I will be doing a video in the future on my experience of working on board a cruise ship and traveling I think I did seven ships with the line that I work for and I was a singer on all seven I got to travel all around the world it was a phenomenal experience and it really does make you catch the travel bug so to speak if you like this kind of video please give it a thumbs up and if you're new here click the red subscription button down below it will keep you updated for each and every future video thank you guys and I'll see you in the next one	The Mindful

xo02K182imM	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo02K182imM	Book haul, the fawn response, & current reads!	[Music] hey youtube it's cass welcome back to my channel this is an area you don't ever normally get to see me in but this is like my four-tiered bookshelf that goes all the way to the ceiling and all the way to the floor um and i'm 5'4 for reference hopefully everyone is doing well i just wanted to do a quick very quick like what i'm currently reading and then just a little mini book haul because i got a lot of goodies which one of them i'm already reading um from thrift store and i got all 10 10 or 11 books for 30 so that's a mega score for me first we're gonna jump into what i am reading currently jk first thing i wanted to talk about was i know i had started this bullet journal at the beginning of the year i have like some videos up and stuff about it you know i had originally started out doing really good um but along the way uh i stopped kind of using everything that i had in here and instead i wrote like this is now officially moving to my book review and reading log journal so like all i've done you know consistently now for months is just like go over the books that i'm reading just like quick reviews about them so i am still this is this is the page i'm out now for uh may and then here's june's that i started but i'm just using my bullet journal now for like book recording book tracking book reviews my own little book journal basically so i know i had never given an update about this i had never posted another bullet journal video that's what happened with my bullet journal it is now a book tracker journal yes one of the books that i have yet to start but is going to be a quick read is the hilda and the great parade i talked about this quite a bit in my um everything i've read for the first half of the year so i'm starting on book two in the novel it's basically the same as the series on netflix if you've seen it or not um highly recommend my favorite animated series but just a quick read only like 100 something pages so this one will be easy the next one i'm currently reading is the wind and the willows um this was part of the bookstore thrift haul and i have these little tabs um that i use that like hold my space on the pages i picked this up because of emmy and if i remember i'll link her channel down below but she did like this readathon and she read this in there and they kind of reviewed it and talked about it and i saw it in the kids section i was like sure easy pickup so reading this one as well this one i feel like is going to be more like a long term kind of read the next one i am actively reading is the enneagram of belonging um a compassionate journey of self-acceptance i said this in my everything i've read for this year so far but i've just really been going through some stuff and i'm still very much going through it um and i've just had to learn a lot and my mind was blown i listened to like a two-hour podcast last night about the fawn fear response which everything was so accurate and it explained so much and it kind of caught me off guard a bit because i've done so many years of like healing and trying to process and work through my trauma that's like i remember having heard this at one point from one of my therapists but i never deep dived into it and then it came back around because of something that just happened yesterday in my life that was really dramatic um so i'm just trying to understand myself better so i am a fan of zodiac and i guess like uh what is the word i'm looking for astrology and all of that stuff i find it rather fascinating um again always on the edge kind of about what i believe but i picked this up again at the thrift stores part of the bundle of basically most of these books especially the ones that i will show you in the book haul um so i'm reading this one as well but i'm not that far into it again i put little bookmarks but i knew my enneagram i guess at one point forgot it retook a test which this book actually says tests may not be accurate so we'll see like i said i'm really not that far into it but i so far believe i'm an enneagram 9 um so we'll see i just want to find other ways to connect with myself if anyone's aware of like the fon trauma response so much of it is about dissociation and disconnect from yourself so that's like clearly is meant to be my main focus my main journey for this entire year so i am really into all of these and speaking of this my next book is also helpful for that the next one is the body keeps the score um i mentioned this as well i believe in the everything i've read so far for the year i'm a little bit further through here but not a ton it's a really heavy read it's a lot of science it's just a lot of like information to digest but i'm loving it so far it's helped me be able to i guess connect things better so far like i know this is this i know this is this i know why i respond this way i know why i do this specific thing why i feel this way type situations but bringing it back to the body and like how they all connect and how they all play a factor in your trauma is just incredible to read about so once again i highly highly recommend this at least to understand you know why certain things are the way they are i think i am on chapter seven now i think i think yes i think i'm on chapter seven now so highly recommend excited to finish this this i feel like will be one that i will probably hold on to just like to be able to come back to it over time as well my next current read is competitive grieving um again these little bookmarks in here and right here um i'm only i have the heart on the side where i'm actually at some on page 70 in here so not very far um this was a brand new buy for me i wanted this since i heard it was coming out i'm going through a lot of grief i feel like that's pretty obvious i've kind of like said that over and over um just going through a lot of things so uh i feel like this is more of a lighthearted note of it versus like the body keeps the score the enneagram stuff like therapy and all that stuff that i'm dealing with this feels like a lighthearted fiction way of possibly understanding it from a different perspective so we'll see how this goes again i was really into this and then i started reading like the body keeps the score and stuff and those real life things i really do connect with more um but i appreciate the light-hearted stuff when that stuff feels too heavy so i'm excited to finish this as well the next one that i'm actively reading was part of the book haul which i already started but it's tiny little things advice on love and life from deer sugar now i know deer sugar was like a columnist i thought it was in the newspaper but i guess it was like an online thing again right here i'm not quite halfway through the book um but i'm loving this it's just a nice like it's basically articles that were published on online sources of people writing in letters to her asking for advice on their situations and her responses are exactly what you would expect them to be but i think in a way it's just really nice to be hearing [Music] other people's struggles and it helps in that sense of community because i think we all want that and i've lost a lot of people in my life recently um not through death but just relationships ending and moving apart um and i feel like there were a lot of significant people in my life so i'm kind of like grappling with i feel alone and i need like my i need a community again um so i'm really working on that in my life so this kind of book currently is really helping me with some of that in a way i guess it just like is more lighthearted in that way um it's not helping me really process anything but it's helping me keep in like perspective that i need to put myself back out there to kind of rebuild not rebuild i think the relationships i have in my life currently are really good i just would want to add some more um for different parts for different reasons i just all my friends are spread out all over the country um and most of us don't connect very often you know life we're in our 30s now kids like jobs it's just difficult so i just need to make more time to connect with friends basically is what i'm trying to say so this is just nice of a like a reminder for like sense of community purposes which is really helpful to me right now so this is cute um i can't wait to pass this on to someone else and i think i know just who i will so that's everything i'm currently reading which is what one two three four five six seven books that i'm currently reading for a while there was like one to two books max but now i just i they all have different perfect times to be reading them at different times during the week for me so it's working out pretty phenomenally apart from that let's move into the next section where i go over the book haul which two of them i've already showed you i got as part of the book haul and i'm already reading um but yeah let me jump into those change of seating spot now we're on the ground let's go over my little mini book haul so most of these i don't know much about in the pile um but i'm still excited to read them we might go over some synopsis come lay down come way down hi why don't you lay down why don't you lay down and just take a little nappies hmm lay down okay the very first one in the book haul is olive again by elizabeth strout i have heard of this author before but i've never heard of this book before so i'm excited to read this i don't know much about it um it says prickly rye resistant to change ruthlessly honest and deeply empathetic olive kittridge is a compelling life force i won't read the whole thing but i don't know it says the unforgettable olive will continue to startle us to move us to inspire moments of transcendent grace when i was out um looking at book calls in a second hand kind of situation or looking at book hauls looking to buy books second hand because i the last ones i bought were let me just my tbr pile is also right here um i bought these ones over a year ago and i'm slowly working my way through them so i think i don't think i did a book haul on them before um but this is like my pile i'm picking one from and then i'm obviously picking ones from the most recent book haul anyway i digress most of the books that i've picked out were hardcover before this um and they were pretty thick and so i really wanted to get some soft cover like thin reeds all pretty much under 300 pages like this one's 270 so i think these will be easy reads um yeah i really don't know it's a winner of a pulitzer prize not really much to know about it but i'm excited to read it the cover is kind of what hooked me on this one my next one is um all my puny sorrows by miriam toes i believe um this one the cover sold me instantly again i will hopefully not say this every time but it's again part of the secondhand book haul um it has quite a bit of water damage and stuff on the back and the pages are discolored but it doesn't seem to really like affect the readability and this one's 320 pages um but i loved the book the look of the book and then i read the back and it really like mirrors something that i've had a really close friend of mine going through um and they've been leaning on me for support so i just wanted to read more about it even though this is um nonfiction no even though this is fiction um i think it would just be helpful to read about something you know just maybe to identify a little bit more with what my friend is going through but it says when elf a world-renowned concert pianist attempts suicide just before an international tour her sister yali must keep their family from falling apart while facing a profound question what do you do for a loved one who truly wants to die the touching examination of loss of family of life itself is a story that is as much comedy as it is tragedy a good a good buy grin from a friend who taught you how to live they i asked them if it was fine if i mentioned you know kind of what they were going through in relation to this book i told them i was going to be sitting down to do this they had made an attempt on their life they have children they're going through a divorce and they have recently come out as transitioning so there's a lot of things there and i'm trying to be as supportive and helpful as i can definitely listening definitely trying to also just learn more about all of it and how to help support them the best i possibly can so this probably won't necessarily help with that but i just think it would be good to read a story about something um that i'm like semi helping someone else through if that makes sense so that's this one this might be my next pick up i think once i'm done with i think seven books is a lot to be reading right now this one i saw on the shelf actually while i was just at barnes noble buying a gift for someone um and it's jennifer egan's a visit from the goon squad and it won national book critics circle award um but this one says benny is an aging former punk rocker and record executive sasha is the passionate troubled young woman he employs here jennifer egan brilliantly reveals their pasts along with their inner lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs with music pulsing on every page a visit from the goon squad is a startling exhilarating novel of self-destruction and redemption which this may not even be a surprise with just what i said i'm going through in life in the first half of this and what i mentioned in my first half of the books i'll link that or card it somewhere um but yeah i i want i think it's like leaning into the discomfort and there is something i find so soothing about that even though a lot of times it i'm proc it forces me to process things not faster just in different ways which isn't a bad thing but i'm really like attracted to just fiction or non-fiction um hearing more stories just about other people's struggles like i'm 32 i'm gonna be 33 this year and i it it kind of feels overwhelming and worrisome at the same time that like i still am trying to figure out who the heck i even am and like what i like and how to not fall in the fun fear response patterns of being like such an empathetic people pleaser so much so i don't care about myself um and how much damage that's caused me through my life just with you know abusive relationships and just a lot of like toxic family and friend things and just life and i know everyone's going through this i know that i'm not alone in that at all um but it just really pushes me or i feel encouraged to just continue to learn like i am going through a lot of very difficult things this year um and it's been very hard for me um it's honestly been a really big struggle and we're almost to the end of june so it's been you know six months of this being [Music] sometimes several times a week of a topic that i'm having to process just with people and everything in my life um [Music] yeah so i have a lot of growing and learning to do um and a lot a lot of healing so i i'm probably gonna talk about that personal stuff for a while um and you know side note really quickly i started putting videos on youtube in 2014 and since then talking out loud which i only started because of therapy back then was the first time i'd ever been to therapy and i think it was late 2013 i think or early 2014 was the first time i'd been to therapy um and since then i've just it's always been pouring out of me and so maybe it feels a little dramatic that i still feel like i've i've made so much progress but i still have so much to learn um but the fact that you know some stuff just keeps being repetitive cycles which shows me that i i need to change more things um or i need to learn something new or i need to continue to remove situations for my life but anyway i'm probably going to talk about that a lot because of just my history on youtube my history of being more open and honest about my feelings and my life throughout youtube and i've removed a lot of videos but i have a lot on there that i don't necessarily align with anymore either um but they were all parts of my journey and i think sitting down and talking getting it out re-watching it gives me a different perspective so i definitely want to continue that i realize it makes me too much for a lot of people like i'm a lot for a lot of people and i respect that if a lot of people i make them uncomfortable and that's not my intention um but i'm just i'm very vocal about what i'm going through so anyway i digress i'm excited to read this this feels like something i wouldn't normally pick up but it was right next all these books were pretty much on like two shelves and they all just felt like the right books to grab that day so i'm excited to see what this is see where it goes the next one i loved for the cover is commonwealth by anne i don't know if it's patchett or poche um i don't really know much about this i do know that it's like a collection of stories if i'm correct um no that's not this one that's a different one this one i will just read the very bottom of the synopsis since it's like the whole page in here but just a quick uh total with equal measure of humor and heartbreak commonwealth is a meditation on inspiration interpretation and ownership of stories it is a brilliant and tender tale of the far-reaching ties of love and responsibility that bind us together which like yes please i will take that all day so i'm excited to read this i'm actually hoping i can get through most of this book haul pile before winter because a lot of these really feel except for olive again that feels like a fall book but the rest of these feel like summer so i want to get through them this next one is the language of flowers by vanessa diffenbaugh um i have heard about this and i was so excited to find this i don't know specifically about the book much but i have a friend um who is on the east coast that runs a flower farm with her mom um and she has taught me so much about flowers and like the fact that flowers can mean different things to someone who knows about them of course but that they somehow are the right thing to give to the right person at the right time if that makes sense um so she's taught me a lot i've asked a lot of questions she's been so wonderful to just answer things and help me um and this goes even into like if anyone knows who rachel metz is um again if i remember i'll link her she's a diy channel but she for a while on instagram has had like the hashtag of by yourself the damn flowers um which i've done for a while now and knowing the meaning of flowers it's like i'm buying them for myself in like a self-love romantic way i guess if that makes sense anyway let me read this because i think it's important um acacia for secret love daffodil for new beginnings wisteria for welcome and camellia for my destinies in your hands in victorian times the language of flowers was used to convey romantic expressions but for victoria jones it's more useful in communicating mistrust and solitude after a childhood spent in foster care system she is unable to get close to anybody and her only connection to the world is through flowers and their meanings now 18 and emancipated from the system with nowhere to go victoria realizes she has a gift for helping others through the flower she chooses for them which i just love but an unexpected encounter with the mysterious stranger has her questioning what's been missing in her life and when she's forced to confront a painful secret from her past she must decide whether it's worth risking everything for a second chance at happiness which just like does that not sound like a great book and then i know back here at the very back which i love this it's dictionary of flowers so i'm gonna pull this up here hopefully you could see through these pages it just talks about the different flowers and like their meanings that they can have which i just love i dream of being an old lady having a flower farm now because of what my friends done because of what she's taught me because of the significance that flowers actually can have because i want to buy everyone flowers and i love gifting them and because they can have meaning love it love it love it cannot wait to read that this next one is actually the collection of stories so this is birds of america by laurie moore never heard of it this is the only hardcover i bought i almost put it back um but i read the synopsis um and it's a collection of different stories um but the very bottom of the synopsis says and what me words and what may be her most stunning book yet laurie moore explores the personal and the universal the idiosyncratic and the mundane with all the wit brio and verve that have made her one of the best storytellers of all time so i like i said my understanding is it's a co is a collection of stories through people's lives i don't know much about it um but i don't think that's a bad thing so i'm hoping to read this maybe end of summer early fall as well a lot of these books like i said felt very summer the next one i picked up is in the woods by tana french um and it won an edgar allan poe award and i psychological thrillers and just like hor the horror genre is my like all-time favorite within honestly games and media like movies but i've never [Music] not that i can recall like outside of like reading i've had to do for school i have never picked up a like psychological thriller a horror a mystery like creepy book and given it a shot and i don't know why so i grabbed this again part of the collection of everything that i got at the thrift store but this one says the debut novel of an astonishing new voice and psychological suspense in tana french's powerful debut thriller three children leave their small dublin neighborhood to play in the surrounding woods hours later their mother's calls go unanswered when police arrive they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk and terror wearing blood-filled sneakers and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours 20 years later detective rob ryan the fan boy who has kept his past secret and his partner cassie because i'm full of myself it has nothing to do with me cassie madox investigate the murder of 12 year old girl in the same woods now with only snippets of long buried memories to guide him ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery and the case before him and not have his own shadowy past which this just sounds great like i said it won the um edgar allan poe award so i'm hoping this goes well and then if it does maybe i can branch into horror and thriller and creepy books like that's a genre i've never touched since i was in high school which was a long time ago so we'll see i have high hopes for that one this next and last book that i picked up as part of the book haul from the thrift store is moonwalking with einstein the art and science of remembering everything and i'm sorry if i mentioned this in the last one for my first half of the books of the year um it'll be three years ago this august that i was involved in a head-on collision i got a tbi um severe like post-concussion syndrome just a lot i done over a year's worth of speech and cognitive therapy like i have all these things that i've worked through to try to help maintain my memory i'm getting ahead of myself basically i severely lack and struggle with short-term memory so i saw this and again it was on the same shelf as these other books and it just felt like the right thing to pick up after i read the synopsis so i will read it for you it says while researching an article on the usa memory championships joshua 4 was equally dubious and intrigued by one contestant's claim that even an average memory like fours if used properly could win the event and after a year of memory training he found himself in the finals of the same championship under the tutelage of mental athletes fo foer so i think for foer learns ancient techniques once employed by cicero to memorize his speeches and medieval scholars to memorize entire books moonwalking with einstein draws on cutting edge research a surprising history of memory and venerable tricks of the mentalist trade to transform our understanding of remembering through his extraordinary odyssey we acquire a profound appreciation of a gift we all possess this often slips our minds so just based on my lack and like really big struggle with short-term memory i'm excited to see if this helps if this teaches me anything if it helps me in any way this will hopefully be when i report back on maybe by the end of the year i'll go over all my books i'm not sure um i've been on the fence i filmed book videos before um but i don't know maybe i'll push myself to do an end of the month reads to go over all the stuff but we'll see that is my last book from the book haul but if you made it this far thank you so much for watching i'm excited to get back into some more content about just different things because i've done a lot here and i'm going to continue to do a lot here and there's a lot of exciting things coming um but i have a lot of work to do just on myself and the future everything in the next year everything you kind of see around me everything in this basement because i'm in my basement um we're gonna be selling everything and changing our lives drastically so i will divulge into that more when i have more i'm hoping to make a whole video on it there's a lot to process um i just have a lot going on in life like i've continued to say but otherwise thanks for watching and if you have any book suggestions or anything that you've read that i've shown and you want to give me a non-spoiler like review or just if there's something you're interested in honestly if someone's interested in a book and i finish it i'm happy to send it to um someone that watches this so that's something i'd like to keep open for the future but i can ramble forever i'm so good at doing that we're going to end the video here but be well babes and i will see you guys in the next video

4ojF10rhUlQ	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ojF10rhUlQ	The Grapes of Wrath: Chapter 19 (Audio)	chapter 19. once california belonged to mexico and its land to mexicans and a horde of tattered feverish americans poured in and such was their hunger for land that they took the land stole sutter's land guerrero's land took the grants and broke them up and growled and quarreled over them those frantic hungry men and they guarded their with guns the land they had stolen they put up houses and barns they turned the earth and planted crops and these things were possession and possession was ownership the mexicans were weak and fed they could not resist because they wanted nothing in the world as frantically as the americans wanted land then with time the squatters were no longer squatters but owners their children grew up and had children on the land their hunger was gone from them the feral hunger the gnawing tearing hunger for land for water and earth and the good sky over it for the green thrusting grass for the swelling roots they had known these things so completely that they did not know about them anymore they had no more stomach tearing lust for a rich acre and a shining blade to plow it for a seed and a windmill beating its wings in the air they arose in the dark no more to hear the sleepy birds for his chittering and the morning wind around the house while they waited for the first light to go out to the deer acres these things were lost and crops were reckoned in dollars and land is valued in principle plus interest and crops were bought and sold before they were planted then crop failure drought and flood were no longer little deaths within life with simple losses of money and all their love was thinned with money and all their fiercest dribbled away in interest until they were no longer farmers at all with little shopkeepers of crops little manufacturers who must sell before they can make then those farmers were not good shopkeepers lost their land to the good shopkeepers no matter how clever how loving a man might be with the earth and growing things he could not survive if he were not a good shopkeeper and as time went on the businessmen had the farms and the farms grew larger but there were fewer of them now farming became industry and the owners followed rome though they did not know it they imported slaves so they did not call them slaves chinese japanese mexicans filipinos they live on rice and beans the businessmen said they don't need much they don't know what to do with good wages why look how they live look what they eat and if they get funny deport them and all the time the farms grew larger and the owner is fewer and there are pitifully few foreigners on the land anymore and the imported serfs were beaten and frightened and starved until some went home again and some grew fierce and were killed or driven from the country the farms grew larger in the owner's viewer and the crops changed fruit trees took the place of grain fields and vegetables to feed the feed the world spread out on the bottoms lettuce cauliflower artichokes potatoes stoop crops a man may stand to use a scythe a plow a pitchfork but he must crawl like a bug between the rows of lettuce he must bend his back and pull his long bag between the cotton rows he must go on his knees like a penitent across the cauliflower patch and came that the owners no longer worked on their farms they farmed on paper and they forgot the land the smell it the feel of it remember only that they owned it remembered only what they gained and lost by it and some of the farms grew so large that one man could not even conceive of them anymore so large that took batteries of bookkeepers to keep track of interest and gain and loss chemists to test the soil to replenish straw bosses to see that the stooping men were moving along the rows as swiftly as the material of their bodies could stand when such a farmer really became a store keeper and kept a store he paid the men and sold them food and took the money back after a while he did not pay the men at all and saved bookkeeping these farms gave food on credit man might work and feed himself when the work was done he might find that the he owed money to the company the owners not only did not work at the farms anymore many of them had never seen the farms they owned and then the dispossessed were drawn west from kansas oklahoma texas new mexico from nevada and arkansas families tribes dusted out tractored out carloads caravans homeless and hungry twenty thousand to fifty thousand to a hundred thousand two hundred thousand they streamed over the mountains hungry and restless restless ants scurrying to find work to do to lift to push to pull to pick to cut anything any burden to bear for food the kids are hungry we got no place to live like ants scurrying for work for food and most of all for land we ain't foreign seven generations back americans and beyond that irish scotch english german one of our folks in the revolution there was lots of our folks in the civil war both sides americans they were hungry and they were fierce and they had hoped to find a home and they found only hatred okies the owners hated them because the owners knew they were soft and the oaky's strong they knew they were fed and the okies hungry and perhaps the owners had heard from their grandfathers how easy it is to steal land from a soft man if you are fierce and hungry and armed the owners hated them and in the towns the store keepers hated them because they hadn't no money to spend there's no shorter that path to a store keeper's content and all of his admirations are exactly opposite the town men little bankers hated oakies because there was nothing to gain from them they had nothing and the laboring people hated oaky's because a hungry man must work and if he must work and if he has to work the wage payer automatically gives him less for his work and then no one can get more and the dispossessed the migrants flowed into california two hundred and fifty thousand and three hundred thousand behind them new tractors were going on the land and the tenants were being forced off and new waves were on the way new waves of the dispossessed and the homeless hardened intent and dangerous and while the californians wanted many things accumulation social success amusement luxury and a curious banking security the new barbarians wanted only two things land and food and to them the two were one and whereas the wants of the californians were nebulous and undefined the wants of the oakies were beside the roads lying there to be seen and coveted the good fields with water to be dug for the good green fields earth that crumble experimentally in the hand grass to smell odin's stalks to chew until the sharp sweetness was in the throat a man light might look at a follow field and know and see in his mind that his own bending back and his own straining arms would bring the cabbages into the light and the golden eating corn the turnips and carrots and a homeless hungry man driving the roads with his wife beside him and his thin children in the back seat could look at the fallow fields which might produce food but not profit and that man would know how a fallow field is a sin in the unused land again a crime against the thin children and such a man drove along the roads a new temptation at every field to know the lust to take these fields and make them grow strength for his children and a little comfort for his wife the temptation was before him always the fields goaded him and the company ditches with good water flowing where it goed to him in the south he saw the golden oranges hanging on the trees little golden oranges on the dark green trees and guards with shotguns patrolling the lines a man might not pick an orange for a thin child oranges to be dumped if the price was low he drove his old car into a town he scoured the farms for work where can we sleep tonight well there's hooverville on the edge of the river there's a whole raft of oakies there he drove his old car to hooverville he never asked again for there was a hooverville on the edge of every town let ragtown lay close to water and the houses were tense and weed thatched in closers paper houses a great junk pile a man drove his family in and became a citizen of hooverville always they were called hooverville the man put up his own tent as near to the water as he could get or if he had no tent he went to the city dump and brought back cartons and built a house of corrugated paper and when the rains came the house melted and washed away he settled in hooverville and he scoured the countryside for work little money he had went into gasoline to look for work in the evening the men gathered and talked together squatting on their hands they talked of the land they'd seen there's thirty thousand acres out west of here lying there jesus what i could do with that with five acres of that why hell i'd have everything to eat notice one thing they know vegetables nor chickens nor pigs at the farms they raise one thing cotton say or peaches or lettuce another place will be all chickens they buy all the stuff they could raise in the door yard and jesus what i could do with a couple pigs well it ain't yearn that ain't gonna be yarn well what are we gonna do the kids can't grow up this way the camps the word would come whispering there's work at shafter the cars would be loaded in the night and the highways crowded a gold rush for work a chafter that people would cr pile up five times too many to do the work a gold rush for work they stole away in the night frantic for work and along the roads lay the temptations the fields that could bear foods that's owned that ain't iron maybe get a little piece of her maybe a little piece right down there a patch jims and weed now christ i could get enough potatoes off in that little patch to feed my whole family at 8 hours you got to have gems and weeds now and then a man tried crept on the land and cleared a piece drawing like a thief to steal little richness from the earth secret gardens hidden in the weeds a package of carrot seeds and a few turnips planted potato skins crept out in the evening secretly to hoe the stolen earth leave the weeds around the edge that no one can see what we are doing leave some weeds big tall ones in the middle secret gardening in the evenings and water carried in a rusty can then one day a deputy sheriff well what do you think you're doing i ain't doing no harm i had my eye on you this ain't your land you're trespassing the land ain't proud and i ain't hurting it none you goddamned squatters pretty soon you'd think you owned it you'd be sore as hell think you owned it get off now little green carrot tops were kicked off and the turnip greens trampled when the gems and weed moved back in but the cop was right a crop raised why that makes ownership land hoed and the carrots eaten a man might fight for land he's taken food from get him off quick he'll think he owns it he might even die fighting for a little plot along the gyms and weeds did you see his face when we kicked them turnips out why he'd kill a fella as soon as he'd look at him we got to keep these here people down or they'll take the country they'll take the country outlanders foreigners sure they talk the same language but they ain't the same look how they live thinking any of us folks lived like that hell no in the evening squatting and talking an excited man why didn't 20 of us take a piece of land we got guns taken say put us off if you can why don't we do that they just shoot us like rats which you'd rather be dead or here on the ground or in a house made all gunny sacks which you'd rather for your kids dead now they're dreading true years with what they call malnutrition know what we ate all week by old needles and fried dough know where we got the flour for the dough slip off the floor of a box car talking in the camps and the deputies fat-assed men with guns slung on fat hips swaggering through the camps give them something to think about gotta keep them in line or chrysler knows what they'll do why jesus they're as dangerous as in the south and fear if they ever get together they ain't nothing that'll stop them quote in lawrenceville the deputy sheriff evicted a squatter and the squatter resisted making it necessary for the officer to use force the eleven-year-old son of the squatter shot and killed the deputy with a 22 right rifle rattlesnakes don't take chances with him and if they argue shoot first if a kid will kill a cop what did the men do thing is they get tougher than they are treat them rough scare them what if they don't scare or if they stand up and take it and shoot back these men were armed when they were children a gun is an extension of themselves what if they won't scare one of some time an army of them marches on the land as the lombards did in italy as the germans did on gull and the turks did on byzantium they were land-hungry ill-armed hordes too and the legions could not stop them slaughter and terror what did not stop them how can you frighten a man whose hunger is not only in his own cramped stomach but in the wretched bellies of his children you can't scare him he has known a fear beyond every other in hooverville the men talking grandpa took his land from the engines this ain't right we're talking here this here you're talking about is stealing i ain't no thief no he stole a body a bottle of milk from a porch last night before last they sold some copper wire and sold it for a piece of meat yeah but the kids was hungry it's stealing though know how the fairfield lands was got i'll tell you it was all government land all hannah could be took up old fairfield he went into san francisco and took the bars and he got him 300 stew bombs then bums took up the land fairfield kept him in food and whiskey and then when they proved the land old fairfield took it from him you say the land cost me a point a rock got an acre would you say that was stealing well it wasn't rapid he never went to jail for it no he never went to jail for it on the fella put a boat in a wagon and made his report like it was all under water because he went in a boat he never went to jail neither and the fellows that bribed congressmen the legislatures never went to jail neither all over the state jabbering in the hoovervilles and then the raids the swoop of armed deputies on the squatters camps get out department of health orders this camp is a menace to health where are we gonna go that ain't none of our business we got orders to get you out of here in half an hour we set fire to the camp these typhoid down the line you want to spread it all over we got orders to get you out of here now get and half an hour we burned the camp in half an hour the smoke of paper houses of weed thatched huts rising to the sky and the people in their cars rolling over the highways looking for another hooverville and in kansas and arkansas and oklahoma and texas and new mexico attractors moved in and pushed the tenants out three hundred thousand in california and more coming and in california the roads full of frantic people running like ants to pull to push to lift to work for every man load to lift five pairs of arms extended to lift it for every stomach full of food available five mouths open and the great owners who must lose their land in an upheaval the great owners with access to history with eyes to read history and know the great fact when property accumulates in too few hands it is taken away and that companion fact when a majority of the people are hungry and cold they will take by force what they need little screaming fact that sounds through all history repression only works to strengthen and knit the repressed the great owners ignored the three cries of history the land fell into fewer hands and the number of dispossessed increased and every effort of the new owners was directed at repression the money was spent for arms for gas to protect the great holdings and spies were sent to catch the murmuring of revolt so it might be stamped out the changing economy was ignored plans were changed ignored and the only means to restore your vote were considered while the causes of revolt went on the tractors which throw men out of work the belt lines which carry loads the machines which produce all were increased and more and more families scampered on the highways looking for crumbs from the great holdings lusting after the land beside the roads the great owners formed association for protections and they met to discuss ways to intimidate to kill to gas and always they were in fear of a principle three hundred thousand if they ever move under the leader the end three hundred thousand hungry and miserable and if they ever know themselves the land will be theirs and all the gas all the rifles in the world won't stop them and the great owners who had become to their holdings both more and less than men ran to their destruction and use every means that in the long run would destroy them every little means every violence every raid on a hooverville every deputy swaggering through a ragged camp put off the day a little and cemented the inevitability of the day the men squatted on their hams sharp-based men lean from hunger and hard from resisting it stolen eyes and hard draws and the rich land was around them did you hear about the kid in that fourth tent down no i just come in well that kid's been a crying in his sleep and rolling in the sleep folks thought he got worms so they gave him the blaster and he died it was what they call the black tongue the kid had comes from not getting good things to eat poor little fella yeah but then folks can't bury them gotta go to the county stone orchard well hill the hands went into the pockets and the little coins came out and in front of the tent a little heap of silver grew and the family found it there our people are good people our people are kind people pray god someday kind

L79jMvlQo3Q	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L79jMvlQo3Q	Blue-Eyes Invoked(Eidolon) vs. SPYRAL Kaiju (YGOpro Duels) Miracle Fusion is Pretty Good I Hear :)	hey what's up guys he's Phoenix here this video is gonna be another you gear Pro dual video and due to the feedback that I got in the previous video this one is also going to be post dual sped up commentary and I'm probably gonna continue with that format well into the future because the response I got from it was very very very much overwhelmingly positive there were a few people there like we don't like it but overall the general consensus was that people liked it because it allows me to actually focus on gameplay and make actual better plays and then be able to articulate thought processes afterward but basically what you see me playing here is blue-eyes Eidolon or blue-eyes invoked and this is the back that people talk to me about and I've seen people talking about it online for a little bit it's not something that people have been talking like heavily about but it's definitely a deck that we caught my eye and seemed very interesting because the blue-eyes deck itself is a very slow slow or rather I shouldn't really use the term slow because it is kind of quick in terms of how it operates but it's it's slower than the field but it's very methodical at how it bases they basically supplies consistent pressure over and over again turn after turn and that seems to be complemented really well by the invoked engine as the invoked engine also does the same sort of thing when it's standing alone by itself of just overall just only doing applying pressure very slowly yet consistently turn after turn after turn with cards like Reggie and Makabe and stuff like that so ultimately I felt like these were a very good fit and they could actually work together pretty well so I decided to test it for a video and I've been testing it in a few different instances as well off-camera so I absolutely know how the deck is meant to function before I even jumped into this but basically what we're dealing with here is I'm playing against my opponent who is playing a spiral kaiju I don't think I saw the zoo card the entirety of the match that we ended up playing so I think he's just playing literally pure spirals with kaijus and I think that's actually even compounded by the fact that I don't think that I went second any games this match and I don't even know if going first versus going second is ideal in this deck specifically I think this deck does have a stronger start than regular blue-eyes decks would because of the idle on the invoked package it's basically giving you a strong normal summon and being able to go into something like Makabe but where you even have to try and dedicate resources into building any sort of other board but ultimately it's just it seems it seems kind of kind of iffy on whether or not going first or going second is the ideal blind rather but so my first turn was pretty underwhelming as you can see I just made a merkava just because it just seemed like it was the best thing to do and I also got Mac seed but I'm able to Mac see him back while he's making his push into his stuff and I mean he's opening with good spiral plays it's just he's not really able to bake my negation with the Makabe like where he wants it to be negated and stuff like that so just ultimately doesn't really allow him to structure his play string very well because he's been spending most of his turn trying to bait my negation and then when I finally do give him the negate that he was looking for like we're already like four or five cards deep off Maxie so at that point I only negated because it's like yeah I feel like this is probably a good card to negate here but I also just have so many resources going for me otherwise and I was almost I was actually pretty scared that fluffly was gonna like try and like the Turia beast me with the super agent in the globe but ultimately just that wouldn't have ended up mattering either way because I drew the alternative and the blue eyes off of that max safe but so being able to start my turn with an invocation to banish the leycester that I discarded off of the Makabe and just get the white stone out of grave with the miracle fusion effect to get Makabe on the board just for some negation purposes in case anything like Baylor or Maxie shows its head but it also allows me to just recycle the LA step and then normal summon egg get invocation again which allows me to basically have another free miracle fusion play and so I have the option of saging over the LA star or wonder wanting it away for draws I ultimately just decide that the sage option is probably gonna be the better route because it puts a body on board I'm able to banish his field spell just just it seemed better in theory and in practice there's there's definitely points that could be made on why wonder one would have been better here but I felt like the clay that I made with dragon spirit of white by Sage over at least it was just the better play in general and I'm able to go invocation again for another copy of Makabe and now I can drop my alternative dragon I'm basically I have way too many cards to work with because he went into my taxi and so basically I'm just able to just go for it and do anything that I want and so the drone gives the agent a boost until ever it it just stays but so it doesn't actually end up mattering because of the fact that I'm able to just go into alternative and pop it and then make a make a rank 8 here and that's ultimately why I tried to put the dragon spear to white on the board so I wanted to manage this field spell so I could then target the super agent get rid of it and then I'm able to clear his board and just go for a rather clean otk here with my two mokuba's and the the full armor that just popped his ghost trick angel of mischief so I'm able to just in the game right here and there and even if I wasn't able to in the game I do have something like empty that's backing up from my board where I have wonder once I can discard and monsters I can discard off the Makabe now here I actually don't realize that he's told me to go first for a few seconds and I was like oh hey my prompts are actually coming up to where I can actually activate cards so I decide to actually start playing my turn and I open with a reckless magic circle so that's pretty good allowing me to go into a leycester and having a wonder wand play i've got double trade in and i've got a target for trade in so i'm like this seems pretty nice but ultimately the trade and targets that i have to get rid of or not really the best i would have rather gotten rid of things like blue eyes azure stuff like that and conserve the dragon spirit of whites because of the fact that i have to banish one here in order to summon the Makabe and now like i said i don't know if going first there going second is ideal for this deck because like i said so far all I've been doing is really going first and it's been working out well I mean being able to establish the Makabe and have a form of disruption and then just do blue eyes things the next turn seems like a really strong option to do and so for here he twin twisters my back row and I'm debating on whether or not I wanted to gate it because I said a wonder wand is a bluff I mean honestly it doesn't really matter but I definitely have double Alistar in hand that I could summon and use with wonder wand next turn so I was debating on whether or not that was gonna be something optimal that I shouldn't do is like negating the twin twister because that would be a free card anyway it's in the gate because he said discard a card and I've got the maxy so I feel like I could just get away with interactions like this by ultimately decide it does not negate the twin twister because negating the twin twister just doesn't seem like it would be overall to work and the gating spiral resort doesn't seem like anything I want to be negating either because it's not a hard once per turn it can just be used if he has other copies and so I didn't really want to get rid of my gospel revival my return of the Dragon words or my invocation I didn't want to get rid of either of those cards and if you're wondering why I'm saying invocation I'm talking about idle on summoning magic that cards official TCG name is invocation so that's what I'm talking about there but so he normal summons his quick fix after trying to interrupt a kaijus lumber me and that one gets the negation 100% that one gets it but then he goes and summons quick-fix searches and tries to activate super-agent effect now this is a weird time to Maxie and I actually really didn't like it when I did it but I felt like it was just better just to do it since I knew he had big red as he searches out quick fix is that max seeing there I don't know what the card on top of my deck is either and so I'm either gonna draw a card off Maxie or he could just not resolve a super-agent and decide to in turn either one of those situations I decided was good for me because that still means I still have the Makabe that I have on my board ready to deal with him so he just uses big red to bring back super-agent and then his field spell dies cuz he has nothing in grave he decides to not go into my Maxie any further and so this is just an amazing situation for me I have no idea why he decided to stop but I make a very questionable play string here and this play string was a really cool play string that would result in like a very very clean otk with the minimal mimmo's minimal amount of effort but I forgot that big red actually has a sacrifice type effect where the monster is equipped to can't be destroyed by battle and so if I had actually taken the time to remember this and realize this then I would have used alternative to pop the one that was equipped with that big red and then made a rank 8 of some choice but I decided to keep the stuff on board and attacked with alternative because it's gonna clear the monster anyway right in theory and so it's it just ultimately was a mistake on my part he's still gonna end with like no cards but it's the difference of me killing him versus giving him a shot at even trying to play the game so at this point it's it's just not it's not something that I'm proud of but still it's it's very much a winning position now I'm checking my extra here to see if I even play a rank four in here which actually probably might go in because stealing rank from stealing level fours with a cipher dragon actually seems to come up quite a hole hot so I just use full armor to pop the top of super agent and then overlay into Dark Matter to get stuff fueled in the graveyard just because I'm able to it's a very it's a very simple thing because I don't have that many lights and grave anyway off of like to be able to invocation with and so using the Dark Matter here it just allows me to have good lights to invocation with and so now I decided to use invocation and summon another Makabe banishing the laser off board and then the white stone they just got sent to graves so now I've got two copies of it and then I've got four monsters in hand one of them being a maxi that he knew it was that was the most like kick in the ass thing that I've ever seen he revealed a maxi on top of my deck and I changed Maxie to a super-agent I change my seat of the super-agent and then the super agent revealed Maxie to summon itself so I drew a Maxie so he knew I had another Maxie in hand so I don't really agree with how he played his previous turn but ultimately it just doesn't seem like it was anything that he could have done to change it but so from here he just plays big red and someone's a super agent and passes because it can't be killed by battle but I've got multiple ways to deal with this in the form of being able to dragon spirit of white the big red away I'm able to just add back alternative and summon it of hand and top of the super agent there's way too many ways I had to deal with this right now now that big red was a really clutch top deck I cannot say that it was not a really clutch top deck but it's just it's not enough to help him clutch the game here but so vanishing my last light engrave the blue-eyes and summoning beat third Makabe off of invocation yet again so I've got triple Makabe I've got the I've got the I've got the hat trick I've gotten the triple sweet I've got everything in terms of negation and he's drawn to one card so he just scoops and again he lets me go first this game so his deck just does not seem to be feeling playing zoo cards or else he'd probably be wanting to go first to establish zoo plays and then do the spiral stuff on top of that so I'm pretty sure that he's only is playing pure spirals with cages because I've not seen a zoo card this entire match up to this point I don't think I see them in this game either at least if I do it was in a passing glance like getting discarded off something and never even really done anything with but my opening hand is pretty like not optimal it's pretty weak in terms of what I have access to because I've only got access to a lace tear and then the melodive awakening dragon to set up my hand for an alternative play and I just decided that instead of summoning Merkava I just would rather summon like dragon spirit of white out of my back to like try and be an additional body because I've got double copies of invocation I've got Maxie again so like it's just I feel pretty secure and how things go but ah it's just he's very questionable I probably should have just valued the Makabe a lot more highly by like doing something like using invocation after I've melody - like discard the blue eyes and then vanish the away sir that probably was correct because then I'd be able to have a laser enhance and negate a monster effect and then I have the the white stone of ancients engrave to head back to blue eyes next turn anyway so that's arguably more correct but I just ended up not doing it because I felt like leaving my board as it was and just absolutely just maintaining every bit of my resources until the next turn but so he goes for a big red play here after getting some searches with the field spell and with quick fix and so I'm Maxie and I draw soul charge and as you can see my mouse cursor just went absolutely insane over it but ah I'm gonna do anything on my opponent's turn now is it and so he decides to activate a assault mission and he's just trying to clear my board in ways that seem very creative and also trying to play through the Maxie so I mean I gotta give him props for that and so he tries to the target wood tough he tries to target my dragon spirit of white and I chained its effect summon the blue-eyes from Han because I don't want him getting that draw off of assault mission I can't remember if I knew whether or not he had super agent in his hand or not for this point I feel like I knew that he had super agent I feel like he's searched about something but again I just I can't remember off the top of my head whether or not he actually had it but so he summons super age' pops my reckless Magic Circle I draw a card off max seen that he draws a card off assault mission and then he machine oops is quick fix and so at this point this is the point where the turn starts getting really scary I am just absolutely like it just ready to lose because I feel like there is no way that I can't lose because like I just ice I see a machine do come down and I was like wait this is gonna be very bad for me but so he ends up just cycling through his quick fixes gettin searches something this weird rank one thing that lets us both draw a card during my standby phase or both of us gain a thousand then he summons another one of them and I feel like this one this right here was the mistake which started like making its turn structure fall apart is that he should have summoned like something like embodiment of crime or embodiment of punishment because it's very obvious that he's going for the Utopia Keizer play here or he could have summoned something like ghost rig doll hand to like lower my alastair even further so like trying ot K me over my board but unfortunately that just doesn't seem to be the case of what happens like you just I think his play string was going perfectly until he summoned that second whatever that ranked one was because he could have summoned a different rank one being like embodiment of crime and actually made the Utopia Kaiser a really valuable like asset here and ultimately it just it seems like things kind of fell apart for him as his turn as his turn went forward because he was doing everything really well trying to bait whatever I had trying to clear things and then it just seemed like it fell apart a little bit too quickly so it's a bit unfortunate but he ends up punching over mile a star for 4k and that's pretty neat and I've got tons of cards in hand and amongst those cards is triple dragon dragon revival thing in return of the Dragon Lords and I've got an alternative play and all this sort of stuff and so I keep reading utopia Kaiser because I've actually like not read what this card does in a long time so I end up just like realizing that the last line of effect on that card is that when it has exceeds materials it can't be destroyed by battle or card effect so I decided not to alternative it you know as you saw my mouse cursor was hovering over it for quite some time and then using gospel revival return of the Dragon Lords whatever you want to call it return to the Dragonlords multiple times to bring back stuff being able to banish his field spell and his assault capture mission off of my dragon spirit of whites being summoned twice and then from here I just decided I'm gonna start taking his things and so I pretty sure that I had a different line of clay that I could have used to probably ensure that it was game this turn and actually killed him but I felt like going the safer route and actually just melding my board and and basically to setting up negations and negations and negations was probably the better approach just making sure that his board was clear and doing so excited I don't know what cards he has in his hand I don't know if he plays things like battle trap like hand traps I just don't know I don't have any information on this sort of stuff for like whether or not the Spyro decks even play these because I've never slide really seen or pay attention to spiral of X being played so I'm just going in blind of like what I should be expecting here and so I feel like there probably was a way that I could have killed him without actually having to you used the cypher dragon to lock me in the only attacking with it but ultimately it it just seems like I'm not really regretting the play string that I made because it just seems like it was like the best thing that I could come up with on the spot like I've broken his entire board I've set up two negations the azure-eyes is protecting my board of all my dragons the only card it's not protecting his Titanic galaxy and Makabe because makalah is not a dragon but I'm also got triple return of the Dragon Lords and grip so the titanic galaxy by all means is protected from any destruction effect so ultimately it's just it seems like my play could have probably been better and looking over it again after I do this video after I finish this this commentary editing I probably could have found some way to actually just break his board and kill him but ultimately I just in the in the heat of the moment I went with the play that I made but so he goes for the terraforming play into his into his field spell and I suck up a field spell titanic galaxy and here he catches over my Makabe and so am i all right that was a that was a really good sequence of play bait one of the negations and then just guide you over the next one got my ass and got me good because like I was sitting there with the Titanic galaxy in The Mikado feeling snug as a bug because I can just negate a monster effect with the Makabe and I can negate a spell with Titanic galaxy and that seemed good and i'ma Gaeta the field spell specifically because I don't remember a lot of cards he had access - from his previous turn and it seems like that field spell from what I remembered him having access to was one of the like things that was gonna be needed as far as like him establishing a really good board but ultimately it's apparently not the case and so from here I actually start panicking because I remember what spiral drones effectives and spiral drone boosts one of his spiral monsters by 500 for every card I controlled and I currently control eight of those and I'm at 4,000 so drone can boost a lobster by 4,000 so it just it's it's something that I'm a little bit a little bit scared about but unfortunately my opponent doesn't see the game shot in as good of a way I mean he sets up a great play he sets up a great play here with with what he has access to of this stuff but he could have actually killed me this turn which is a bit unfortunate like he could have left that tough on the board or just left or does not brought it back with the big red he could have used drone on super agent and then big red brought back drone and then drone would be able to pump on the super agent again or the tough if it had been left out instead of overlaying with it and he would've been able to attack twice or with one just really big beefy super agent and that would have been game from there but from here I mean it's not a bad position he's in in terms of what he's got like going on in terms of the play string because he's got I mean and he's got another big red so like the the quick fix thing here could have actually just pumped again so unless I'm just missing something unless spiral deer cannot bring back drone but I'm almost positive that it can unless unless I'm just missing something but I'm pretty sure spiral deer big red brings back two spirals if I'm if I'm correct but anyway not something I need to worry about right now so he makes embodiment of a crime or punishment whichever one embodiment of crime they're both the exact same effect so it doesn't really matter and so what he's doing here is that I actually actually really really incentivized popping this tough cuz this tough is huge and so from here I don't have any more effects to pop cards and I don't actually recognize what's going on here until main phase two the embodiment of crime is gonna make it to where I can only attack it and I'm at 300 life and this is a Gaga cowboy and my field is clogged right so in theory this is absolutely not winnable for me in terms of what I have strictly on the board I don't see that until until we get to the point where it's it's getting is getting pretty pretty scary so at this point its main face - and I'm like oh what do i do what do I do I'm gonna lose this cowboy next turn I realize that I haven't normal summoned yet and so I decide to tribute someone for blue eyes tribute summoning for blue eyes in 2017 absolutely and so I decided to use the ancient white stone just to add back alternative for no real reason other than just to add back cards and then I detach the blue eyes off of my cypher take his Gaga cowboy and then overlay it into my dark matter so that it is no longer a threat and so I'm like all right who we can mess with this and now at this point like all right well I'm gonna lose to any form of like effect like drone that comes out again and so I decided to flip over my facedown invocation some of the Makabe just to make sure that like I have at least a format of negation in my in my play string and so on my board I've got a negating card so if he has another kaiju then he's gonna be able to get me but ultimately that be is one card they drew so I would be basically fine with that but so from here I actually don't know what's going on in terms of what's targeting that tough because I forgot that drone also has a grave effect that card has three effects loci that's actually just really good and that's that last effect is just one that I never actually take into account and so as you can see I'm just here reading it like oh that's where he went from because I was just looking at it was like I saw the drone pop up in terms of the effect activation and then two cards get banished to the Tufte target I'm like alright what's what's going on here what's doing this but so he adds back tough and then he discards a instant fusion to get quick fix quick fix doesn't have any more targets in deck to search apparently so it seemed like a moot point so basically at this point is just out of resources and I use the Makabe to negate the TUF and so from here it's just it's just game over the quick fix is stuck in attack mode so I get to attack over it with thirty five with the Dark Matter attack the attack the agent with the Dark Matter because that's two attacks and then attack four game so ultimately it was a very scary game 3 in terms of what I just had to play against and I was absolutely 100% of the mindset it there multiple times during that game that I was going lose especially after just not really taking advantage of the opening play that I could have that I could have had in terms of in terms of setting up a merkava straightaway and just waiting like I feel like I was very very much in range of being taken advantage of during that game to just absolutely lose and I feel like I feel like it unfortunately like the stress of playing under Maxie and and doing all that sort of stuff has got to him cuz I talked to him after this and I was like you know you could have like chained drone to the super agent bop and buff super agent and that would have been enough for game right and he's like yeah but I didn't I didn't want to like risk the drone getting striked but there's not striking my necklace so it's been unfortunate there that he actually kind of like outplayed himself in terms of mentality he over thought the play strengths and it ended up costing him but that happens in you yo so I mean I guess it's whatever but anyway as always guys thanks for watching like comment subscribe do all the non since usually do links are in the description my facebook and my patreon page if you want to

lincoln by john g nicolet chapter 27 buell and bragg perryville rosicrantz and murfreesboro grant's vicksburg experiments grants may battles siege and surrender of vicksburg lincoln to grant rosacrans's march to chattanooga battle of chickamauga grant at chattanooga battle of chattanooga burnside at knoxville burnside repulses long street from the virginia campaigns of 1863 we must return to the western campaigns of the same year or to be more precise beginning with the middle of 1862 when in july of that year halek was called to washington to become general in chief the principal plan he left behind was that buell with the bulk of the forces which had captured corinth should move from that place eastward to occupy eastern tennessee buell however progressed so leisurely that before he reached chattanooga the confederate general bragg by a swift northward movement advanced into eastern kentucky enacted the farce of appointing a confederate governor for that state and so threatened louisville that buell was compelled abruptly to abandon his eastward march and turning to the north run a neck and neck race to save louisville from rebel occupation successful in this buell immediately turned and pursuing the now retreating forces of brag brought them to bay at perryville where on october eight was fought a considerable battle from which bragg immediately retreated out of kentucky while on one hand bragg had suffered defeat he had on the other caused buell to give up all idea of moving into east tennessee an object on which the president had specially and repeatedly insisted when halleck specifically ordered buell to resume and execute that plan bewl urged such objections and intimated such unwillingness that on october 24 1862 he was relieved from command and general rosicrans was appointed to succeed him rosicrantz neglected the east tennessee orders as heedlessly as buell had done but reorganizing the army of the cumberland and strengthening his communications marched against bragg who had gone into winter quarters at murfreesboro the severe engagement of that name fought on december 31 1862 and the three succeeding days of the new year between forces numbering about 43 000 on each side was tactically a drawn battle but its results rendered it an important union victory compelling bragg to retreat though for reasons which he never satisfactorily explained rosicrans failed for six months to follow up his evident advantages the transfer of hallock from the west to washington in the summer of 1862 left grant in command of the district of west tennessee but buell's eastward expedition left him so few movable troops that during the summer and most of the autumn he was able to accomplish little except to defend his department by the repulse of the enemy at ayuka in september and at corinth early in october rosencrantz being in local command at both places it was for these successes that rosacrans was chosen to succeed buell grant had doubtless given much of his enforced leisure to studying the great problem of opening the mississippi a task which was thus left in his own hands but for which as yet he found neither a theoretical solution nor possessed an army sufficiently strong to begin practical work under the most favorable aspects it was a formidable undertaking union gunboats had full control of the great river from cairo as far south as vicksburg and farragut's fleet commanded it from new orleans as far north as port hudson but the intervening link of 200 miles between these places was in as complete possession of the confederates giving the rebellion uninterrupted access to the immense resources in men and supplies of the trans-mississippi country and effectually barring the free navigation of the river both the cities named were strongly fortified but vicksburg on the east bank by its natural situation on a bluff 200 feet high rising almost out of the stream was unassailable from the riverfront farragut had indeed in mid-summer passed up and down before it with little damage from its fire but in return his own guns could no more do harm to its batteries than they could have bombarded a fortress in the clouds when by the middle of november 1862 grant was able to reunite sufficient reinforcements he started on a campaign directly southward toward jackson the capital of mississippi and sent sherman with an expedition from memphis down the river to the mouth of the azu hoping to unite these forces against vicksburg but before grant reached granada his railroad communications were cut by a confederate raid and his great depot of supplies at holly springs captured and burned leaving him for two weeks without other provisions than such as he could gather by foraging the costly lesson proved a valuable experience to him which he soon put to use sherman's expedition also met disaster landing at millikin's bend on the west bank of the mississippi he ventured a daring storming assault from the east bank of the azu at haynes bluff 10 miles north of vicksburg but met a bloody repulse having abandoned his railroad advance grant next joined sherman at millikin's band in january 1863 where also admiral porter with a river squadron of 70 vessels 11 of them ironclads was added to his force for the next three months grant kept his large army and flotilla busy with four different experiments to gain a practicable advance toward vicksburg until his fifth highly novel and to other minds seemingly reckless and impossible plan secured him a brilliant success and results of immense military advantage one experiment was to cut a canal across the tongue of land opposite vicksburg through which the flotilla might pass out of range of the vicksburg guns a second was to force the gunboats and transports up the tortuous and swampy azu to find a landing far north of haines bluff a third was for the flotilla to enter through yazoo pass and coldwater river 200 miles above and descend the yazoo to a hoped-for landing still a fourth project was to cut a canal into lake providence west of the mississippi 70 miles above find a practicable waterway through 200 miles of bayous and rivers and establish communication with banks and farragut who were engaged in an effort to capture port hudson the time the patience the infinite labor and enormous expense of these several projects were utterly wasted early in april grant began an entirely new plan which was opposed by all his ableist generals and tested by the accepted rules of military science looked like a headlong venture of rash desperation during the month of april he caused admiral porter to prepare 15 or 20 vessels iron clads steam transports and provision barges and run them boldly by night past the vicksburg and later passed the grand golf batteries which the admiral happily accomplished with very little loss meanwhile the general by a very circuitous route of 70 miles marched an army of 35 000 down the west bank of the mississippi and with porter's vessels and transports crossed them to the east side of the river at bruinsburg from this point with an improvised train of country vehicles to carry his ammunition and living meanwhile entirely upon the country as he had learned to do in his baffled granada expedition he made one of the most rapid and brilliant campaigns in military history in the first 20 days of may he marched 180 miles and fought five winning battles respectively port gibson raymond jackson champions hill and big black river in each of which he brought his practical united force against the enemy's separated detachments capturing altogether 88 guns and over 6 000 prisoners and shutting up the confederate general pemberton in vicksburg by a rigorous siege of six weeks he then compelled his antagonist to surrender the strongly fortified city with 172 cannon and his army of nearly thirty thousand men on the fourth of july eighteen sixty three the day after mead's crushing defeat of lee at gettysburg the surrender took place citizens and confederate soldiers doubtless rejoicing that the old national holiday gave them escape from their caves and bomb proofs and full yankee rations to still their long endured hunger the splendid victory of grant brought about a quick and important echo about the time that the union army closed around vicksburg general banks on the lower mississippi began a close investment in siege of port hudson which he pushed with determined tenacity when the rebel garrison heard the artillery salutes which were fired by order of banks to celebrate the surrender of vicksburg and the rebel commander was informed of pemberton's disaster he also gave up the defense and on july 9 surrendered port hudson with 6 000 prisoners and 51 guns great national rejoicing followed this double success of the union arms on the mississippi which added to gettysburg formed the turning tide in the war of the rebellion and no one was more elated over these western victories which fully restored the free navigation of the mississippi than president lincoln like that of the whole country his patience had been severely tried by the long and ineffectual experiments of grant but from first to last mr lincoln had given him firm and undeviating confidence and support he not only gave the general quick promotion but crowned the official reward with the following generous letter quote my dear general i do not remember that you and i ever met personally i write this now as a grateful acknowledgement for the almost inestimable service you have done the country i wish to say a word further when you first reached the vicinity of vicksburg i thought you should do what you finally did march the troops across the neck run the batteries with the transports and thus go below and i never had any faith except a general hope that you knew better than i that the yazoo pass expedition and the like could succeed when you got below and took port gibson grand golf and vicinity i thought you should go down the river and join general banks and when you turned northward east of the big black i feared it was a mistake i now wish to make the personal acknowledgement that you were right and i was wrong end of quote it has already been mentioned that general rosicrans after winning the battle of murfreesboro at the beginning of 1863 remained inactive at that place nearly six months though of course constantly busy recruiting his army gathering supplies and warning off several troublesome confederate cavalry raids the defeated general bragg retreated only to shelbyville 10 miles south of the battlefield he had been obliged to give up and the military frontier thus divided tennessee between the contestants against repeated prompting and urging from washington rosacrantz continued to find real or imaginary excuses for delay until mid-summer when as if suddenly awaking from a long lethargy he made a bold advance and by a nine days campaign of skillful strategy forced bragg into a retreat that stopped only at chattanooga south of the tennessee river which with the surrounding mountains made it the strategical center and military key to the heart of georgia and the south this march of rosacrans ending the day before the vicksburg surrender again gave the union forces full possession of middle tennessee down to its southern boundary the march completed and the enemy thus successfully maneuvered out of the state rosacrants once more came to a halt and made no further movement for six weeks the president and general halek were already out of patience with rosicrantz for his long previous delay bragg's retreat to chattanooga was such a gratifying and encouraging supplement to the victories of vicksburg and port hudson that they felt the confederate army should not be allowed to rest recruit and fortify the important gateway to the heart of the southern confederacy and early in august sent rosacran's preemptory orders to advance this direction seemed the more opportune and necessary since burnside had organized a special union force in eastern kentucky and was about starting on a direct campaign into east tennessee finally obeying this explicit injunction rosicrans took the initiative in the middle of august by a vigorous southward movement threatening chattanooga from the north he marched instead around the left flank of bragg's army boldly crossing the cumberland mountains the tennessee river and two mountain ranges beyond bragg seriously alarmed unless rosacrans should seize the railroad communications behind him hastily evacuated chattanooga but not with the intention of flight as rosicrantz erroneously believed and reported when on september 9 the left of rosicrantz's army marched into chattanooga without firing a shot the union detachments were so widely scattered in separating mountain valleys in pursuit of bragg's imaginary retreat that bragg believed he saw his chance to crush them in detail before they could unite with this resolve bragg turned upon his antagonist but his effort at quick concentration was delayed by the natural difficulties of the ground by september 19 both armies were well gathered on opposite sides of chickamauga creek eight miles southeast of chattanooga each commander being as yet however little informed of the other's position and strength brag had over 71 000 men rosicrans 57 000 the conflict was finally begun rather by accident than design and on that day and the 20th was fought the battle of chickamauga one of the severest encounters of the whole war developing itself without clear knowledge on either side it became a moving conflict bragg constantly extending his attack toward his right and rosicrans meeting the onset with prompt shifting toward his left in this changing contest rosicrans's army underwent an alarming crisis on the second day of the battle a mistake or miscarriage of orders opened a gap of two brigades in his line which the enemy quickly found and through which the confederate battalions rushed with an energy that swept away the whole union right in a disorderly retreat rosicrantz himself was caught in the panic and believing the day irretrievably lost hastened back to chattanooga to report the disaster and collect what he might of his flying army the hopeless prospect however soon changed general thomas second in command and originally in charge of the center had been sent by rosicrantz to the extreme left and had while the right was giving way successfully repulsed the enemy in his front he had been so fortunate as to secure a strong position on the head of a ridge around which he gathered such remnants of the beaten detachments as he could collect amounting to about half the union army and here from two o'clock in the afternoon until dark he held his semi-circular line against repeated assaults of the enemy with a heroic valor that earned him the subraquette of the rock of chickamauga at night thomas retired under orders to rossville halfway to chattanooga the president was of course greatly disappointed when rosicrans telegraphed that he had met a serious disaster but this disappointment was mitigated by the quickly following news of the magnificent defense and the successful stand made by general thomas at the close of the battle mr lincoln immediately wrote in a note to halleck quote i think it is very important for general rosencrantz to hold his position at or about chattanooga because if held from that place to cleveland both inclusive it keeps all tennessee clear of the enemy and also breaks one of his most important railroad lines if he can only maintain this position without more this rebellion can only eke out a short and feeble existence as an animal sometimes may with a thorn in its vitals end of quote and to rosicrans he telegraphed directly bidding him be of good cheer and adding quote we shall do our utmost to assist you end quote to this end the administration took instant and energetic measures on the night of september 23 the president general hallock several members of the cabinet and leading army and railroad officials met in an improvised council at the war department and issued emergency orders under which two army corps from the army of the potomac numbering twenty thousand men in all with their arms and equipments ready for the field the whole under command of general hooker were transported from their camps on the rapidin by railway to nashville and the tennessee river in the next eight days burnside who had arrived at knoxville early in september was urged by repeated messages to join rosicrans and other reinforcements were already on the way from memphis and vicksburg all this help however was not instantly available before it could arrive rosacrantz felt obliged to draw together within the fortifications of chattanooga while bragg quickly closed about him and by practically blockading rosacrans's river communication placed him in a state of siege in a few weeks the limited supplies brought the union army face to face with famine it having become evident that rosocrans was incapable of extricating it from its peril he was relieved and the command given to thomas while the three western departments were consolidated under general grant and he was ordered personally to proceed to chattanooga which place he reached on october 22. before his arrival general w f smith had devised and prepared an ingenious plan to regain control of river communication under the orders of grant smith successfully executed it and full rations soon restored vigor and confidence to the union troops the considerable reinforcements under hooker and sherman coming up put the besieging enemy on the defensive and active preparations were begun which resulted in the famous battle and overwhelming union victory of chattanooga on november 23 24 and 25 1863 the city of chattanooga lies on the southeastern bank of the tennessee river back of the city chattanooga valley forms a level plane about two miles in width to missionary ridge a narrow mountain range 500 feet high generally parallel to the course of the tennessee extending far to the southwest the confederates had fortified the upper end of missionary ridge to a length of five to seven miles opposite the city lining its long crest with about 30 guns amply supported by infantry this formidable barrier was still further strengthened by two lines of rifle pits one at the base of missionary ridge next to the city and another with advanced pickets still near chattanooga northward the enemy strongly held the end of missionary ridge where the railroad tunnel passes through it southward they held the yet stronger point of lookout mountain whose rocky base turns the course of the tennessee river in a short bend to the north grant's plan in rough outline was that sherman with the army of the tennessee should storm the northern end of missionary ridge at the railroad tunnel hooker stationed at wahhachi 13 miles to the southwest with his two core from the army of the potomac should advance toward the city storming the point of lookout mountain on his way and thomas in the city attacked the direct front of missionary ridge the actual beginning slightly varied this program with a change of core and divisions but the detail is not worth noting beginning on the night of november 23 sherman crossed his command over the tennessee and on the afternoon of the 24th gained the northern end of missionary ridge driving the enemy before him as far as the railroad tunnel here however he found a deep gap in the ridge previously unknown to him which barred his further progress that same afternoon hooker's troops worked their way through mist and fog up the rugged sides of lookout mountain winning the brilliant success which has become famous as the battle above the clouds that same afternoon also two divisions of the center under the eyes of grant and thomas pushed forward the union line about a mile seizing and fortifying a hill called orchard knob capturing bragg's first line of rifle pits and several hundred prisoners so far everything had occurred to in spirit the union troops and discourage the enemy but the main incident was yet to come on the afternoon of november 25 all before noon of that day grant waited eagerly to see sherman making progress along the north end of missionary ridge not knowing that he had met an impassable valley grant's patience was equally tried at hearing no news from hooker though that general had successfully reached missionary ridge and was ascending the gap near rossville at three o'clock in the afternoon grant at length gave thomas the order to advance eleven union brigades rushed forward with orders to take the enemy's rifle pits at the base of missionary ridge and then halt to reform but such was the ease of this first capture such the eagerness of the men who had been waiting all day for the moment of action that after but a slight pause without orders and moved by a common impulse they swept on and up the steep and rocky face of missionary ridge heedless of the enemy's fire from rifle and cannon at the top until in 55 minutes after leaving their positions they almost simultaneously broke over the crest of the ridge in six different places capturing the batteries and making prisoners of the supporting infantry who surprised and bewildered by the daring escalade made little or no further resistance bragg's official report soundly berates the conduct of his men apparently forgetting the heavy loss they had inflicted on their assailants but regardless of which the union veterans mounted to victory in an almost miraculous exaltation of patriotic heroism bragg's confederate army was not only beaten but hopelessly demoralized by the fiery union assault and fled in panic and retreat grant kept up a vigorous pursuit to a distance of 20 miles which he ceased in order to send an immediate strong reinforcement under sherman to relieve burnside besieged by the confederate general longstreet at knoxville but before this help arrived burnside had repulsed longstreet who promptly informed of the chattanooga disaster retreated in the direction of virginia not being pursued however this general again wintered in east tennessee and for the same reason the beaten army of bragg halted in its retreat from missionary ridge at dalton where it also went into winter quarters the battle of chattanooga had opened the great central gateway to the south but the rebel army still determined and formidable yet lay in its path only 28 miles away end of chapter 27

sherman plan of campaigns lincoln to grant from the wilderness to cold harbor the move to city point siege of petersburg early menaces washington lincoln under fire sheridan in the shenandoah valley the army rank of lieutenant general had before the civil war been conferred only twice on american commanders on washington for service in the war of independence and on scott for his conquest of mexico as a reward for the victories of donelson vicksburg and chattanooga congress passed and the president signed in february 1864 an act to revive that grade calling grant to washington the president met him for the first time at a public reception at the executive mansion on march 8 when the famous general was received with all the manifestations of interest and enthusiasm possible in a social state ceremonial on the following day at 1 o'clock the general's formal investiture with his new rank and authority took place in the presence of mr lincoln the cabinet and a few other officials general grant said the president the nation's appreciation of what you have done and its reliance upon you for what remains to do in the existing great struggle are now presented with this commission constituting you lieutenant general and the army of the united states with this high honor devolves upon you also a corresponding responsibility as the country herein trusts you so under god it will sustain you i scarcely need to add that with what i hear speak for the nation goes my own hearty personal concurrence general grant's reply was modest and also very brief mr president i accept this commission with gratitude for the high honor conferred with the aid of the noble armies that have fought on so many fields for our common country it will be my earnest endeavor not to disappoint your expectations i feel the full weight of the responsibilities now devolving on me and i know that if they are met it will be due to those armies and above all to the favor of that providence which leads both nations and men in the informal conversation which followed general grant inquired what special service was expected of him to which the president replied that the country wanted him to take richmond and being asked if he could do so replied that he could if he had the troops which he was assured would be furnished him on the following day grant went to the army of the potomac where mead received him with frank courtesy generously suggesting that he was ready to yield the command to anyone grant might prefer grant however informed me that he desired to make no change and returning to washington started west without a moment's loss of time on march 12 1864 formal orders of the war department placed grant in command of all the armies of the united states while halleck relieved from that duty was retained at washington as the president's chief of staff grant frankly confesses in his memoirs that when he started east it was with a firm determination to accept no appointment requiring him to leave the west but when i got to washington and saw the situation it was plain that here was the point for the commanding general to be his short visit had removed several false impressions and future experience was to cure him of many more when grant again met sherman in the west he outlined to that general who had become his most intimate and trusted brother officer the very simple and definite military policy which was to be followed during the year 1864. there were to be but two leading campaigns sherman starting from chattanooga full master of his own movements was to lead the combined western forces against the confederate army under johnston the successor of bragg grant would personally conduct the campaign in the east against richmond or rather against the rebel army under lee mead would be left in immediate command of the army of the potomac to execute the personal daily directions of grant the two confederate armies were 800 miles apart and should either give way it was to be followed without halt or delay to battle or surrender to prevent its junction with the other scattered as a large portion of the union forces were in garrisons and detachments it widely separated points there were of course many details to be arranged and a few expeditions already in progress but these were of minor importance and for contributory rather than main objects and need not here be described returning promptly to washington grant established his headquarters with the army of the potomac at culpepper and for about a month actively pushed his military preparations he seems at first to have been impressed with the dread that the president might wish to influence or control his plans but the few interviews between them removed the suspicion which reckless newspaper accusation had raised and all doubt on this point vanished when on the last day of april mr lincoln sent him the following explicit letter not expecting to see you again before the spring campaign opens i wish to express in this way my entire satisfaction with what you have done up to this time so far as i understand it the particulars of your plan i neither know nor seek to know you are vigilant and self-reliant and pleased with this i wish not to obtrude any constraints or restraints upon you while i am very anxious that any great disaster or capture of our men in great numbers shall be avoided i know these points are less likely to escape your attention than they would be mine if there is anything wanting which is within my power to give do not fail to let me know it and now with a brave army and a just cause may god sustain you grant's immediate reply confessed the groundlessness of his apprehensions from my first entrance into the volunteer service of the country to the present day i have never had cause of complaint have never expressed or implied a complaint against the administration or the secretary of war for throwing any embarrassment in the way of my vigorously prosecuting what appeared to be my duty indeed since the promotion which placed me in command of all the armies and in view of the great responsibility and importance of success i have been astonished at the readiness with which everything asked for has been yielded without even an explanation being asked should my success be less than i desire and expect the least i can say is the fault is not with you the union army under grant 122 thousand strong on april 30 was encamped north of the rapidan river the confederate army under lee numbering 62 000 lay south of that stream nearly three years before these opposing armies had fought their first battle of bull run only a comparatively short distance north of where they now confronted each other campaign and battle between them had surged far to the north and to the south but neither could as yet claim over the other any considerable gain of ground or a final advantage in the conflict broadly speaking relative advance and retreat as well as relative loss and gain of battlefields substantially balanced each other severe as had been their struggles in the past a more arduous trial of strength was before them grant had two to one in numbers lee the advantage of a defensive campaign he could retire toward cumulative reserves and into prepared fortifications knew almost by heart every road hill and forest of virginia had for his friendly scout every white inhabitant perhaps his greatest element of strength lay in the conscious pride of the confederate army that through all fluctuations of success and failure it had for three years effectually barred the way of the army of the potomac to richmond but to offset this there now ministered what was before absent in every encounter the grim unflinching will of the new union commander general grant devised no plan of complicated strategy for the problem before him but proposed to solve it by plain hard persistent fighting he would endeavor to crush the army of lee before it could reach richmond or unite with the army of johnston or failing in that he would shut it up in that stronghold and reduce it by a siege with this in view he instructed meade at the very outset lee's army will be your objective point where lee goes there you will go also everything being ready on the night of may four meet through five bridges across the rapidan and before the following night the whole union army with its trains was across the stream moving southward by the left flank past the right flank of the confederates sudden as was the advance it did not escape the vigilant observation of lee who instantly threw his force against the flanks of the union columns and for two days they're raged in that difficult broken entangled region known as the wilderness a furious battle of detachments along a line five miles in length thickets swamps and ravines rendered intelligent direction and concerted maneuvering impossible and furious and bloody as was the conflict its results were indecisive no enemy appearing on the seventh grant boldly started to spot sylvania courthouse only however to find the confederates ahead of him and on the 8th and 9th these turned their position already strong by nature into an impregnable entrenched camp grant assaulted their works on the 10th fiercely but unsuccessfully there followed one day of inactivity during which grant wrote his report only claiming that after six days of hard fighting and heavy losses the result up to this time is much in our favor but expressing in the phrase which immediately became celebrated his firm resolution to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer on may 12 1864 grant ordered a yet more determined attack in which with fearful carnage on both sides the union forces finally stormed the earthworks which have become known as the bloody angle but finding that other and more formidable entrenchments still resisted his entrance to the confederate camp grant once more moved by the left flank past his enemy toward richmond lee followed with equal swiftness along the interior lines days passed in an intermitting and about equally matched contest of strategy and fighting the difference was that grant was always advancing and lee always retiring on may 26 grant reported to washington lee's army is really whipped the prisoners we now take show it and the action of his army shows it unmistakably a battle with them outside of entrenchments cannot be had our men feel that they have gained the morale over the enemy and attack him with confidence i may be mistaken but i feel that our success over lee's army is already assured that same night grant's advance crossed the pa monkey river at hanover town and during another week with a succession of marching flanking and fighting grant pushed the union army forward to cold harbor here lee's entrenched army was again between him and richmond and on june 3 grant ordered another determined attack in front to break through that constantly resisting barrier but a disastrous repulse was the consequence its effect upon the campaign is best given in grant's own letter written to washington on june 5. my idea from the start has been to beat lee's army if possible north of richmond then after destroying his lines of communication on the north side of the james river to transfer the army to the south side and besiege lee in richmond or follow him south if he should retreat i now find after over 30 days of trial the enemy deems it of the first importance to run no risks with the armies they now have they act purely on the defensive behind breast works or feebly on the offensive immediately in front of them and where in case of repulse they can instantly retire behind them without a greater sacrifice of human life than i am willing to make all cannot be accomplished that i had designed outside of the city during the week succeeding the severe repulse a cold harbor which closed what may be summed up as grant's campaign against richmond he made his preparations to enter upon the second element of his general plan which may be most distinctively denominated the siege of petersburg though in fuller phraseology it might be called the siege of petersburg and richmond combined but the amplification is not essential for though the operation and the siege works embraced both cities petersburg was the vital and vulnerable point when petersburg fell richmond fell of necessity the reason was that lee's army enclosed within the combined fortifications could only be fed by the use of three railroads centering at petersburg one from the southeast one from the south and one with general access from the southwest between these two plank roads added a partial means of supply thus far grant's active campaign though failing to destroy lee's army had nevertheless driven it into richmond and obviously his next step was either to dislodge it or compel it to surrender cold harbor was about 10 miles from richmond and that city was enclosed on the washington side by two circles of fortifications devised with the best engineering skill on june 13 grant threw forward an army corps across the chickahominy deceivingly into the belief that he was making a real direct advance upon the city and so skillfully concealed his intention that by midnight of the 16th he had moved the whole union army with its artillery and trains about 20 miles directly south and across the james river on a pontoon bridge over 2000 feet long to city point general butler with an expedition from fortress monroe moving early in may had been ordered to capture petersburg and though he failed in this he had nevertheless seized and held city point and grant thus affected an immediate junction with butler's force of 32 000. butler's second attempt to seize petersburg while grant was marching to join him also failed and grant unwilling to make any needless sacrifice now limited his operations to the processes of a regular siege this involved a complete change of method the campaign against richmond from the crossing of the rapidan and the battle of the wilderness to cold harbor and the change of base to city point occupied a period of about six weeks of almost constant swift marching and hard fighting the siege of petersburg was destined to involve more than nine months of mingled engineering and fighting the confederate army forming the combined garrisons of richmond and petersburg numbered about seventy thousand the army under grant though in its six weeks campaign it had lost over sixty thousand and killed wounded and missing was again raised by the reinforcement sent to it and by its junction with butler to a total of about one hundred and fifty thousand with this superiority of numbers grant pursued the policy of alternately threatening the defenses of lee sometimes south sometimes north of the james river and at every favorable opportunity pushing his siege works westward in order to gradually gain and command the three railroads and two plank roads that brought the bulk of absolutely necessary food and supplies to the confederate armies and the inhabitants of petersburg and richmond it is estimated that this gradual westward extension of grants lines readouts and trenches when added to those threatening richmond and petersburg on the east finally reached a total development of about 40 miles the catastrophe came when lee's army grew insufficient to man his defensive line along this entire length in grant funding the weakened places eventually broke through it compelling the confederate general and army to evacuate and abandon both cities and seek safety in flight the central military drama the first two distinctive acts of which are outlined above had during this long period a running accompaniment of constant underplot and shifting and exciting episodes the shenandoah river rising northwest of richmond but flowing in a general northeast course to join the potomac at harpers ferry gives its name to a valley 20 to 30 miles wide highly fertile and cultivated and having throughout its length a fine turnpike which in anti-railroad days was an active commercial highway between north and south bordered on the west by the rugged allegheny mountains and on the east by the single outlying range called the blue ridge it formed a protected military lane or avenue having vital relation to the strategy of campaigns on the open atlantic slopes of central virginia the shenandoah valley had thus played a not unimportant part in almost every military operation of the war from the first battle of bull run to the final defense of richmond the plans of general grant did not neglect so essential a feature of his task while he was fighting his way toward the confederate capital his instructions contemplated the possession and occupation of the shenandoah valley is part of the system which should isolate and eventually besiege richmond but this part of his plan underwent many fluctuations he had scarcely reached city point when he became aware that general lee equally alive to the advantages of the shenandoah valley had dispatched general early with 17 000 men on a flying expedition up that convenient natural sally port which was for the moment undefended early made such speed that he crossed the potomac during the first week of july made a devastating raid through maryland and southern pennsylvania threatened baltimore and turning sharply to the south was on the 11th of the month actually at the outskirts of washington city meditating its assault and capture only the opportune arrival of the sixth army corps under general wright on the afternoon of that day sent hurriedly by a grant from city point saved to the federal capital from occupation and perhaps destruction by the enemy certain writers have represented the government as panic-stricken during the two days that this menace lasted but neither mr lincoln nor secretary stanton nor general halleck whom it has been even more the fashion to abuse lacked coolness or energy in the emergency indeed the president's personal unconcern was such as to give his associates much uneasiness on the 10th he rode out as was his usual custom during the summer months to spend the night at the soldier's home in the suburbs but secretary stanton learning that early was advancing in heavy force sent after him to compel his return to the city and twice afterward intent on watching the fighting which took place near fort stevens he exposed his tall form to the gaze and bullets of the enemy in a manner to call forth earnest remonstrance from those near him the succeeding military events in the shenandoah valley must here be summed up in the brief statement that general sheridan being placed in command of the middle military division and given an army of 30 or 40 000 men finally drove back the confederate detachments upon richmond in a series of brilliant victories and so devastated the southern end of the valley is to render it untenable for either army and by the destruction of the james river canal and the virginia central railroad succeeded in practically carrying out grant's intention of effectually closing the avenue of supplies

burning of charleston in columbia arrival at goldsboro junction with cho field visit to grant while grant was making his marches fighting his battles and carrying on his siege operations in virginia sherman in the west was performing the task assigned to him by his chief to pursue destroy or capture the principal western confederate army now commanded by general johnston the forces which under bragg had been defeated in the previous autumn at lookout mountain and missionary ridge had halted as soon as pursuit ceased and remained in winter quarters at and about dalton only 28 or 30 miles on the railroad southeast of chattanooga where their new commander johnston had in the spring of 1864 about 68 000 men with which to oppose the union advance a few preliminary campaigns and expeditions in the west need not here be detailed as they were not decisive one however led by sherman himself from vicksburg to meridian must be mentioned since during the month of february it destroyed about 100 miles of the several railroads centering at the latter place and rendered the whole railroad system of mississippi practically useless to the confederates thus contributing essentially to the success of his future operations sherman prepared himself by uniting at chattanooga the best material of the three union armies that of the cumberland that of the tennessee and that of the ohio forming a force of nearly 100 000 men with 254 guns they were seasoned veterans whom three years of campaigning had taught how to endure every probation and avail themselves of every resource they were provided with every essential supply but carried with them not a pound of useless baggage or impedimenta that could the rapidity of their movements sherman had received no specific instructions from grant except to fight the enemy and damage the war resources of the south but the situation before him clearly indicated the city of atlanta georgia as his first objective and as his necessary route the railroad leading feather from chattanooga it was obviously a difficult line of approach for it traversed a belt of the allegheny's 40 miles in width and in addition to the natural obstacles they presented the confederate commander anticipating his movement had prepared elaborate defensive works at the several most available points as agreed upon with grant sherman began his march on may 5th 1864 the day following that on which grant entered upon his wilderness campaign in virginia these pages do not afford space to describe his progress it is enough to say that with his double numbers he pursued the policy of making strong demonstrations in front with effective flank movements to threaten the railroad in the confederate rear by which means he forced back the enemy successively from point to point until by the middle of july he was in the vicinity of atlanta having during his advance made only one serious front attack in which he met a costly repulse his progress was by no means one of mere strategical maneuver sherman says that during the month of may across nearly 100 miles of as difficult country as was ever fought over by the civilized armies the fighting was continuous almost daily among trees and bushes on ground where one could rarely see 100 yards ahead however skillful and meritorious may have been the retreat into which johnston had been forced it was so unwelcome to the richmond authorities and damaging to the confederate cause that about the middle of july jefferson davis relieved him and appointed one of his core commanders general j.b hood in his place whose personal qualities and free criticism of his superior led them to expect a change from a defensive to an aggressive campaign responding to this expectation hood almost immediately took the offensive and made vigorous attacks on the union positions but met disastrous repulse and found himself fully occupied in guarding the defenses of atlanta for some weeks each army tried ineffectual methods to seize the other's railroad communications but toward the end of august sherman's flank movements gained such a hold of the macon railroad at jonesboro 25 miles south of atlanta as to endanger hood security and when in addition a detachment sent to dislodge sherman was defeated hood had no alternative but to order an evacuation on september 3rd sherman telegraphed to washington quote atlanta is ours and fairly won since may 5th we have been in one constant battle or skirmish and need rest end quote the fall of atlanta was a heavy blow to the confederates they had during the war transformed it into a city of mills foundries and workshops from which they drew supplies ammunition and equipment and upon which they depended largely for the manufacture and repair of arms but perhaps even more important than the military damage to the south resulting from its capture was its effect upon northern politics until then the presidential campaign in progress throughout the free states was thought by many to involve fluctuating chances under the heavy losses and apparently slow progress of both eastern and western armies but the capture of atlanta instantly infused new zealand confidence among the union voters and from that time onward the re-election of mr lincoln was placed beyond reasonable doubt sherman personally entered the city on september 8th and took prompt measures to turn it into a purely military post he occupied only the inner line of its formidable defenses but so strengthened them as to make the place practically impregnable he proceeded at once to remove all its non-combatant inhabitants with their effects arranging a truce with hood under which he furnished transportation to the south for all those whose sympathies were with the confederate cause and sent to the north those who preferred that destination hood raised a great outcry against what he called such barbarity and cruelty but sherman replied that war is war and if the rebel families wanted peace they and their relatives must stop fighting quote god will judge us in due time and he will pronounce whether it be more humane to fight with a town full of women and the families of a brave people at our back or to remove them in time to places of safety among their own friends and people end quote up to his occupation of atlanta sherman's further plans had neither been arranged by grant nor determined by himself and for a while remained somewhat undecided for the time being he was perfectly secure in the new stronghold he had captured and completed but his supplies depended upon a line of about 120 miles of railroad from atlanta to chattanooga and very near 150 miles more from chattanooga to nashville hood held at bay at lovejoy station was not strong enough to venture a direct attack or undertake a siege but chose the more feasible policy of operating systematically against sherman's long line of communications in the course of some weeks both sides grew weary of the mere waste of time and military strength consumed in attacking and defending railroad stations and interrupting and reestablishing the regularities of provision trains toward the end of september jefferson davis visited hood and in rearranging some army assignments united hoods and an adjoining confederate department under the command of beauregard partly with a view to adding the councils of the latter to the always energetic and bold but sometimes rash military judgment of hood between these two hoods eccentric and futile operations against sherman's communications were gradually shaded off into a plan for a confederate invasion of tennessee sherman on his part finally matured his judgment that instead of losing a thousand men a month merely defending the railroad without other advantage he would divide his army send back a portion of it under the command of general thomas to defend the state of tennessee against the impending invasion and abandoning the whole line of railroad from chattanooga to atlanta and cutting entirely loose from his base of supplies march with the remainder to the sea living upon the country and quote making the interior of georgia feel the weight of the war end quote grant did not immediately fall in with sherman's suggestion and sherman prudently waited until the confederate plan of invading tennessee became further developed it turned out as he had hoped and expected having gradually ceased his raids upon the railroad hood by the end of october moved westward to tuscumbia on the tennessee river where he gathered an army of about 35 000 to which a calvary force under forest of 10 000 more was soon added under beauregard's orders to assume the offensive he began a rapid march northward and for a time with a promise of cutting off some advanced union detachments we need not follow the fortunes of this campaign further than to state that the confederate invasion of tennessee ended in disastrous failure it was severely checked at the battle of franklin on november 30th and when in spite of this reverse hood pushed forward and set his army down before nashville as if for attack or siege the union army concentrated and reinforced to about 55 000 was ready a severe storm of rain and sleet held the confronting armies in forced immobility for a week but on the morning of december 15 1864 general thomas moved forward to an attack in which on that and the following day he inflicted so terrible a defeat upon his adversary that the confederate army not only retreated in route and panic but soon literally went to pieces in disorganization and disappeared as a military entity from the western conflict long before this sherman had started on his famous march to the sea his explanations to grant were so convincing that the general in chief on november 2nd telegraphed him quote go on as you propose end quote in anticipation of this permission he had been preparing himself ever since hood left him a clear path by starting westward on his campaign of invasion from atlanta he sent back his sick and wounded and surplus stores to chattanooga withdrew the garrisons burned the bridges broke up the railroad and destroyed the mills foundries shops and public buildings in atlanta with 60 000 of his best soldiers and 65 guns he started on november 15th on his march of 300 miles to the atlantic they carried with them 20-day supplies of provisions five days supply of forage and 200 rounds of ammunition of which each man carried 40 rounds with perfect confidence in their leader with perfect trust in each other's valor endurance and good comradeship in the fine weather of the southern autumn and singing the inspiring melody of john brown's body sherman's army began its marching through georgia as gaily as if it were starting on a holiday and indeed it may almost be said such was their experience in comparison with the hardships of war which many of these veterans had seen in their varied campaigning they marched as nearly as might be in four parallel columns abreast making an average of about 15 miles a day kilpatrick's admirable calvary kept their front and flanks free from the improvised militia and irregular troopers of the enemy carefully organized foraging parties brought in their daily supply of miscellaneous provisions corn meat poultry and sweet potatoes of which the season had yielded an abundant harvest along their route the confederate authorities issued excited proclamations and orders calling on the people to quote fly to arms end quote and to quote assail the invader in front flank and rear by night and by day end quote but no rising occurred that in any way checked the constant progress of the march the southern whites were of course silent and sullen but the negroes received the yankees with demonstrations of welcome and goodwill and in spite of sherman's efforts followed in such numbers as to embarrass his progress as he proceeded he destroyed the railroads by filling up cuts burning ties heating the rails red hot and twisting them around trees and to irreparable spirals threatening the principal cities to the right and left he marched skillfully between and past them he reached the outer defenses of savannah on december 10th easily driving before him about 10 000 of the enemy on december 13th he stormed fort mcallister and communicated with the union fleet through a sawball sound reporting to washington that his march had been most agreeable that he had not lost a wagon on the trip that he had utterly destroyed over 200 miles of rails and consumed stores and provisions that were essential to lee's and hood's armies with pardonable exultation general sherman telegraphed to president lincoln on december 22nd quote i beg to present to you as a christmas gift the city of savannah with 150 heavy guns and plenty of ammunition also about 25 000 bales of cotton end quote he had reason to be gratified with the warm acknowledgement which president lincoln wrote him in the following letter my dear general sherman many many thanks for your christmas gift the capture of savannah when you were about leaving atlanta for the atlantic coast i was anxious if not fearful but feeling that you were the better judge and remembering that nothing risked nothing gained i did not interfere now the undertaking being a success the honor is all yours for i believe none of us went farther than to acquiesce and taking the work of general thomas into the count as it should be taken it is indeed a great success not only does it afford the obvious and immediate military advantages but in showing to the world that your army could be divided putting the stronger part to an important new service and yet leaving enough to vanquish the old opposing force of the whole hood's army it brings those who sat in darkness to see a great light but what next i suppose it will be safe if i leave general grant and yourself to decide please make my grateful acknowledgments to your whole army officers and men end of letter it was again general sherman who planned and decided the next step of the campaign grant sent him orders to fortify a strong post leave his artillery and calvary and bring his infantry by the sea to unite with the army of the potomac before petersburg greatly to sherman's satisfaction this order was soon revoked and he was informed that grant wished quote the whole matter of your future actions should be left entirely to your own discretion end quote in sherman's mind the next steps to be taken were as clear as daylight the progress of the war in the west could now be described step by step and its condition and probable course be estimated with sound judgment the opening of the mississippi river in the previous year had cut off from the rebellion the vast resources west of the great river sherman's maritime campaign in february had rendered useless the railroads of the state of mississippi the capture of atlanta and the march to the sea had ruined the railroads of georgia cutting off another huge slice of confederate resources the battles of franklin and nashville had practically annihilated the principal confederate army in the west sherman now proposed to grant that he would subject the two carolinas to the same process by marching his army through the heart of them from savannah to raleigh the game is then up with lee he confidently added unless he comes out of richmond avoids you and fights me in which case i should reckon on your being on his heels if you feel confident that you can whip lee outside of his entrenchments i feel equally confident that i can handle him in the open country grant promptly adopted the plan and by formal orders directed sherman to execute it several minor western expeditions were organized to contribute to its success the union fleet on the coast was held in readiness to cooperate as far as possible with sherman's advance and to afford him a new base of supply if at some suitable point he should desire to establish communications with it when in the middle of january 1865 a naval expedition captured fort fisher at the mouth of cape fear river an army corps under general shofild was brought east from thomas's army of the tennessee and sent by the sea to the north carolina coast to penetrate into the interior and form a junction with sherman when he should arrive having had five weeks for rest and preparation sherman began the third stage of his campaign on february 1st with a total of 60 000 men provisions for 20 days forage for seven and a full supply of ammunition for a great battle this new undertaking proved a task of much greater difficulty and severe hardship than his march to the sea instead of the genial autumn weather the army had now to face the wintry storms that blew in from the neighboring coast instead of the dry georgia uplands his route lay across a low sandy country cut by rivers with branches at right angles to his line of march and bordered by broad and mirey swamps but this was an extraordinary army which faced exposure labor and peril with a determination akin to contempt here were swamps and watercourses to be weighted waist deep endless miles of corduroy road to be laid and relayed as course after course sank into the mud under heavy army wagons frequent headwater channels of rivers to be bridged the lines of railroads along their route to be torn up and rendered incapable of repair food to be gathered by foraging keeping up meanwhile a daily average of 10 or 12 miles of marching under such conditions sherman's army made a mid-winter march of 425 miles in 50 days crossing five navigable rivers occupying three important cities and rendering the whole railroad system of south carolina useless to the enemy the ten to fifteen thousand confederates with which general hardy had evacuated savannah and retreated to charleston could of course oppose no serious opposition to sherman's march on the contrary when sherman reached colombia the capital of south carolina on february 16th hardy evacuated charleston which had been defended for four long years against every attack of a most powerful union fleet and where the most ingenious siege works and desperate storming assault had failed to rest fort wagner from the enemy but though charleston fell without a battle and was occupied by the union troops on the 18th the destructive hand of war was at last heavily laid upon her the confederate government per tenaciously adhered to the policy of burning accumulations of cotton to prevent it falling into union hands and the supply gathered in charleston to be sent abroad by blockade runners having been set on fire by the evacuating confederate officials the flames not only spread to the adjoining buildings but grew into a great conflagration that left the heart of the city a waste of blackened walls to illustrate the folly of the first secession ordinance colombia the capital underwent the same fate to it even a broader extent here the cotton had been piled in a narrow street and when the torch was applied by similar confederate orders the rising wind easily floated the blazing flakes to the near roofs of buildings on the night following sherman's entrance the wind rose to a gale and neither the efforts of the citizens nor the ready help of sherman soldiers were able to check the destruction confederate writers long nursed the accusation that it was the union army which burned the city as a deliberate act of vengeance contrary proof is furnished by the orders of sherman leaving for the sufferers a generous supply of food as well as by the careful investigation by the mixed commission on american and british claims under the treaty of washington still pursuing his march sherman arrived at chiral march 3rd and opened communication with general terry who had advanced from fort fisher to wilmington hitherto his advance had been practically unopposed but now he learned that general johnston had once more been placed in command of the confederate forces and was collecting an army near raleigh north carolina well knowing the ability of this general sherman became more prudent in his movements but johnston was able to gather a force of only 25 or 30 000 men of which the troops hardy brought from charleston formed the nucleus and the two minor engagements on march 16th and 19th did little to impede sherman's advance to goldsboro where he arrived on march 23rd forming a junction with the union army sent by sea under shofild that had reached the same point the previous day the third giant stride of sherman's great campaign was thus happily accomplished his capture of atlanta his march to the sea and capture of savannah his progress through the carolinas and the fall of charleston formed an aggregate expedition covering nearly a thousand miles with military results that rendered rebellion powerless in the central states of the southern confederacy several union cavalry raids had accomplished similar destruction of confederate resources in alabama and the country bordering on east tennessee military affairs were plainly in a condition which justified sherman and temporarily devolving his command on general shofild and hurrying by sea to make a brief visit for urgent consultation with general grant at his headquarters before richmond and petersburg and chapter 29. chapter 30 of a short life of abraham lincoln this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings

lincoln's theory of reconstruction congressional election in louisiana letter to military governors letter to shepley amnesty proclamation december 8 1863 instructions to banks banks's action in louisiana louisiana abolishes slavery arkansas abolishes slavery reconstruction in tennessee missouri emancipation lincoln's letter to drake missouri abolishes slavery emancipation in maryland maryland abolishes slavery to subdue the confederate armies and establish order under martial law was not the only task before president lincoln as rapidly as rebel states or portions of states were occupied by federal troops it became necessary to displace usurping confederate officials and appoint in their stead loyal state county and subordinate officers to restore the administration of local civil law under the authority of the united states in western virginia the people had spontaneously affected this reform first by repudiating the richmond succession ordinance and organizing a provisional state government and second by adopting a new constitution and obtaining admission to the union as the new state of west virginia in missouri the state convention which refused to pass a succession ordinance affected the same object by establishing a provisional state government in both these states the whole process of what in subsequent years was comprehensively designated reconstruction was carried on by popular local action without any federal initiative or interference other than prompt federal recognition and substantial military support and protection but in other seceded states there was no such groundwork of loyal popular authority upon which to rebuild the structure of civil government therefore when portions of tennessee louisiana arkansas and north carolina came under federal control president lincoln during the first half of 1862 appointed military governors to begin the work of temporary civil administration he had a clear and consistent constitutional theory under which this could be done in his first inaugural he announced the doctrine that the union of these states is perpetual and unbroken his special message to congress on july 4 1861 added the supplementary declaration that the states have their status in the union and they have no other legal status the same message contained the further definition the people of virginia have thus allowed this giant insurrection to make its nest within her borders and this government has no choice left but to deal with it where it finds it and it has the less regret as the loyal citizens have in due form claimed its protection those loyal citizens this government is bound to recognize and protect as being virginia the action of congress entirely conformed to this theory that body admitted to seats senators and representatives from the provisional state governments of west virginia and missouri and also allowed senator andrew johnson of tennessee to retain his seat and admitted horus maynard and andrew j clements as representatives of the same state though since their election tennessee had undergone the usual secession ursurpation and had as yet organized no loyal provisional government the progress of the union armies was so far checked during the second half of 1862 that military governor phelps appointed for arkansas did not assume his functions and military governor stanley wielded but slight authority in north carolina senator andrew johnson appointed military governor of tennessee established himself at nashville the capitol and though union control of tennessee fluctuated greatly he was able by appointing loyal state and county officers to control the administration of civil government in considerable districts under substantial federal jurisdiction in the state of louisiana the process of restoring federal authority was carried on a step farther owing largely to the fact that the territory occupied by the union army though quite limited comprising only the city of new orleans and a few adjacent parishes was more securely held and its hostile frontier less disturbed it soon became evident that considerable union sentiment yet existed in the captured city and surrounding districts and when some of the loyal citizens began to manifest impatience at the restraints of martial law president lincoln and a frank letter pointed the way to a remedy the people of louisiana he wrote under date of july 28 1862 who wish protection to person and property have but to reach forth their hands and take it let them in good faith re-inaugurate the national authority and set up a state government conforming thereto under the constitution they know how to do it and can have the protection of the army while doing it the army will be withdrawn so soon as such state government can dispense with its presence and the people of the state can then upon the old constitutional terms govern themselves to their own liking at about this date there occurred the serious military crisis in virginia and the battles of the peninsula of the second bull run and of antietam necessarily compelled the postponement of minor questions but during this period the president's policy on the slavery question reached its development and solution and when on september 22 he issued his preliminary proclamation of emancipation it also paved the way for further defining of his policy of reconstruction that proclamation announced the penalty of military emancipation against all states in rebellion on the succeeding first day of january but also provided that if the people thereof were represented in congress by properly elected members they should be deemed not in rebellion and thereby escape the penalty wishing now to prove the sincerity of what he said in the greeley letter that his paramount object was to save the union and not either to slave or destroy slavery he wrote a circular letter to the military governors and commanders in louisiana tennessee and arkansas instructing them to permit and aid the people within the districts held by them to hold elections for members of congress and perhaps a legislature state officers and united states senators in all available ways he wrote give the people a chance to express their wishes at these elections follow forms of law as far as convenient but at all events get the expression of the largest number of the people possible all see how such action will connect with and affect the proclamation of september 22. of course the men elected should be gentlemen of character willing to swear support to the constitution as of old and known to be above reasonable suspicion of duplicity but the president wished this to be a real and not a sham proceeding as he explained a month later and a letter to governor shepley we do not particularly need members of congress from there to enable us to get along with legislation here what we do want is the conclusive evidence that respectable citizens of louisiana are willing to be members of congress and to swear support to the constitution and that other respectable citizens there are willing to vote for them and send them to send a parcel of northern men here as representatives elected as would be understood and perhaps really so at the point of the bayonet would be disgraceful and outrageous and were i a member of congress here i would vote against admitting any such man to a seat thus instructed governor shipley caused an election to be held in the first and second congressional districts of louisiana on december 3 1862 at which members of congress were chosen no federal office holder was a candidate and about one-half the usual vote was polled the house of representatives admitted them to seats after full scrutiny the chairman of the committee declaring this had every essential of a regular election in a time of most profound peace with the exception of the fact that the proclamation was issued by the military instead of the civil governor of louisiana military affairs were of such importance and absorbed so much attention during the year 1863 both at washington and at the headquarters of the various armies that the subject of reconstruction was of necessity somewhat neglected the military governor of louisiana indeed ordered a registration of loyal voters about the middle of june for the purpose of organizing a loyal state government but its only result was to develop an inevitable antagonism and contest between conservatives who desired that the old constitution of louisiana prior to the rebellion should be revived by which the institution of slavery as then existing would be maintained and the free state party which demanded that an entirely new constitution be framed and adopted in which slavery should be summarily abolished the conservatives asked president lincoln to adopt their plan while the president refused this he in a letter to general banks dated august 5 1863 suggested the middle course of gradual emancipation for my own part he wrote i think i shall not in any event retract the emancipation proclamation nor as executive ever returned to slavery any person who is freed by the terms of that proclamation or by any of the acts of congress if louisiana shall send members to congress their admission to seats will depend as you know upon the respective houses and not upon the president i would be glad for her to make a new constitution recognizing the emancipation proclamation and adopting emancipation in those parts of the state to which the proclamation does not apply and while she is at it i think it would not be objectionable for her to adopt some practical system by which the two races could gradually live themselves out of their old relation to each other and both come out better prepared for the new education for young blacks should be included in the plan after all the power or element of contract may be sufficient for this probationary period and by its simplicity and flexibility may be the better during the autumn months the president's mind dwelt more and more on the subject of reconstruction and he matured a general plan which he laid before congress in his annual message to that body on december 8 1863 he issued on the same day a proclamation of amnesty on certain conditions to all persons in rebellion except certain specified classes who should take a prescribed oath of allegiance the proclamation further provided that whenever a number of persons so amnestied in any rebel state equal to one-tenth the vote cast at the presidential election of 1860 should re-establish a state government which shall be republican and in no wise contravening said oath such would be recognized as the true government of the state the annual message discussed and advocated the plan at length but also added saying that reconstruction will be accepted if presented in a specified way it is not said it will never be accepted in any other way this plan of reconstructing what came to be called 10 percent states met much opposition in congress and that body reversing its action in former instances long refused admission to members and senators from states similarly organized but the point needs no further mention here a month before the amnesty proclamation the president had written to general banks expressing his great disappointment that the reconstruction in louisiana had been permitted to fall in abeyance by the leading union officials there civil and military i do however he wrote urge both you and them to lose no more time governor shepley has special instructions from the war department i wish him these gentlemens and others cooperating without waiting for more territory to go to work and give me a tangible nucleus which the remainder of the state may rally around as fast as it can and which i can at once recognize and sustain as the true state government he urged that such reconstruction should have in view a new free state constitution for said he if a few professedly loyal men shall draw the disloyal about them and colorably set up a state government repudiating the emancipation proclamation and re-establishing slavery i cannot recognize or sustain their work i have said and say again that if a new state government acting in harmony with this government and consistently with general freedom shall think best to adopt a reasonable temporary arrangement in relation to the landless and houseless freed people i do not object but my word is out to be for and not against them on the question of their permanent freedom general banks in reply excused this in action by explaining that the military governor and others had given him to understand that they were exclusively charged with the work of reconstruction in louisiana to this the president rejoined under date of december 24 1863 i have all the while intended you to be master as well in regard to reorganizing a state government for louisiana as in regard to the military matters of the department and hence my letters on reconstruction have nearly if not quite all been addressed to you my error has been that it did not occur to me that governor shepley or anyone else would set up a claim to act independently of you i now distinctly tell you that you are master of all and that i wish you to take the case as you find it and give us a free state reorganization of louisiana in the shortest possible time under this explicit direction of the president and basing his action on martial law as the fundamental law of the state the general caused a governor and state officials to be elected on february 22 1864 to override the jealousy and quarrels of both the conservative and free state parties he set out in his proclamation that the officials to be chosen should until others are appointed by competent authority constitute the civil government of the state under the constitution and laws of louisiana accept so much of the said constitution and laws as recognize regulate or relate to slavery which being inconsistent with the present condition of public affairs and plainly inapplicable to any class of persons now existing within its limits must be suspended and they are therefore and hereby declare to be an operative and void the newly elected governor was inaugurated on march 4 with imposing public ceremonies and the president also invested him with the powers exercised here too by the military governor of louisiana general banks further caused delegates to a state convention to be chosen who in a session extending from april 6 to july 25 perfected and adopted a new constitution which was again adopted by popular vote on september 5 following general banks reported the constitution to be one of the best ever penned it abolishes slavery in the state and forbids the legislature to enact any law recognizing property in man the emancipation is instantaneous and absolute without condition or compensation and nearly unanimous the state of arkansas had been forced into rebellion by military terrorism and remained under confederate domination only because the union armies could afford the latent loyal sentiment of the state no effective support until the fall of vicksburg and the opening of the mississippi after that decisive victory general steele marched a union column of about 13 000 from helena to little rock the capital which surrendered to him on the evening of september 10 1863 by december eight regiments of arkansas citizens had been formed for service in the union army and following the amnesty proclamation of december 8 the reorganization of a loyal state government was speedily brought about mainly by spontaneous popular action of course under the direction and with the assistance of general steele in response to a petition president lincoln sent general steele on january 20 1864 a letter repeating substantially the instructions he had given general banks for louisiana before these could be carried out popular action had assembled at little rock on january 8 1864 a formal delegate convention composed of 44 delegates who claimed to represent 22 out of the 54 counties of the state on january 22 this convention adopted an amended constitution which declared the act of secession null and void abolished slavery immediately and unconditionally and wholly repudiated the confederate debt the convention appointed a provisional state government and under its schedule an election was held on march 14 1864. during the three days on which the polls were kept open under the orders of general steele who by the president's suggestion adopted the convention program a total vote of 12 179 was cast for the constitution and only 226 against it while the provisional governor was also elected for a new term together with members of congress and a legislature which in due time chose united states senators by this time congress had manifested its opposition to the president's plan but mr lincoln stood firm and on june 29 wrote to general steele i understand that congress declines to admit to seats the persons sent as senators and representatives from arkansas these persons apprehend that in consequence you may not support the new state government there as you otherwise would my wish is that you give that government and the people there the same support and protection that you would if the members had been admitted because in no event nor in any view of the case can this do any harm while it would be the best you can do towards suppressing the rebellion while military governor andrew johnson had been the earliest to begin the restoration of loyal federal authority in the state of tennessee the course of campaign and battle in that state delayed its completion to a later period than the others the invasion of tennessee by the confederate general bragg in the summer of 1862 and the long delay of the union general rosencrons to begin an active campaign against him during the summer of 1863 kept civil reorganization in a very uncertain and chaotic condition when at length rose crans advanced and occupied chattanooga president lincoln deemed it a propitious time to vigorously begin reorganization and under date of september 11 1863 he wrote the military governor emphatic suggestions that the re-inauguration must not be such as to give control of the state and its representation in congress to the enemies of the union driving its friends there into political exile you must have it otherwise let the reconstruction be the work of such men only as can be trusted for the union exclude all others and trust that your government so organized will be recognized here as being the one of republican form to be guaranteed to the state and to be protected against invasion and domestic violence it is something on the question of time to remember that it cannot be known who is next to occupy the position i now hold nor what he will do i see that you have declared in favor of emancipation in tennessee for which may god bless you get emancipation into your new state government constitution and there will be no such word as fail for your case in another letter of september 19 the president sent the governor's specific authority to execute the scheme outlined in his letter of advice but no substantial success had yet been reached in the process of reconstruction in tennessee during the year 1864 when the confederate army under hood turned northward from atlanta to begin its third and final invasion of the state this once more delayed all work of reconstruction until the confederate army was routed and dispersed by the battle of nashville on december 15 1864. previous popular action had called a state convention which taking immediate advantage of the expulsion of the enemy met in nashville on january 9 1865 in which 58 counties and some regiments were represented by about 467 delegates after six days of deliberation the convention adopted a series of amendments to the constitution the main ordinance of which provided that slavery and involuntary servitude except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted are hereby forever abolished and prohibited throughout the state these amendments were duly adopted at a popular election held on february 22 and the complete organization of a loyal state government under them followed in due course the state of missouri needed no reconstruction it has already been said that her local affairs were administered by a provisional state government instituted by the state convention chosen by popular election before the rebellion broke out in this state therefore the institution of slavery was suppressed by the direct action of the people but not without a long and bitter conflict of party factions and military strife there existed here two hostile currents of public opinion one the intolerant pro-slavery prejudices of its rural population and other the progressive and liberal spirit dominant in the city of saint louis with its heavy german population which as far back as 1856 had elected to congress a candidate who boldly advocated gradual emancipation st louis with outlying cities and towns supplying during the whole rebellion the dominating influence that held the state in the union and at length transformed her from a slave to a free state missouri suffered severely in the war but not through important campaigns or great battles persistent secession conspiracy the kansas episodes of border strife and secret orders of confederate agents from arkansas instigating unlawful warfare made missouri a hotbed of guerrilla uprisings and of relentless neighborhood feuds in which armed partisan conflict often degenerated into shocking barbarity and the pretense of war into the malicious execution of private vengeance president lincoln drew a vivid picture of the chronic disorders in missouri in reply to complaints demanding the removal of general showfield from local military command we are in civil war in such cases there is always a main question but in this case that question is a perplexing compound union and slavery it thus becomes a question not of two sides merely but of at least four sides even among those who are for the union saying nothing of those who are against it thus those who are for the union with but not without slavery those for it without but not with those for it with or without but prefer it with and those for it with or without but prefer it without among these again is a subdivision of those who are for gradual but not for immediate and those who are for immediate but not for gradual extinction of slavery it is easy to conceive that all these shades of opinion and even more may be sincerely entertained by honest and truthful men yet all being for the union by reason of these differences each will prefer a different way of sustaining the union at once sincerity is questions and motives are assailed actual war coming blood grows hot and blood is spilled thought is forced from old channels into confusion deception breeds and thrives confidence dies and universal suspicion reigns each man feels an impulse to kill his neighbor lest he be first killed by him revenge and retaliation follow and all this as said before may be among honest men only but this is not all every foul bird comes abroad and every dirty reptile rises up these add crime to confusion strong measures deemed indispensable but harsh at best such man make worse by maladministration murders for old grudges and murders for health proceed under any cloak that will best cover for the occasion these causes amply account for what has occurred in missouri without ascribing it to the weakness or wickedness of any general the newspaper files those chroniclers of current events will show that the evils now complained of were quite as prevalent under fremont hunter halleck and curtis as under show field i do not feel justified to enter upon the broad field you present in regard to the political differences between radicals and conservatives from time to time i have done and said what appeared to me proper to do and say the public knows it all it obliges nobody to follow me and i trust it obliges me to follow nobody the radicals and conservatives each agree with me in some things and disagree in others i could wish both to agree with me in all things for them they would agree with each other and would be too strong for any foe from any quarter they however choose to do otherwise and i do not question their right i too shall do what seems to be my duty i hold whoever commands in missouri or elsewhere responsible to me and not to either radicals or conservatives it is my duty to hear all but at last i must within my sphere judge what to do and what to forbear it is some consolation to history that out of this blood and travail grew the political regeneration of the state slavery and emancipation never gave each other a moment's truce the issue was raised to an acute stage by fremont's proclamation in august 1861 though that ill-advised measure was revoked by president lincoln the friction and irritation of war kept it alive and in the following year a member of the missouri state convention offered a bill to accept and apply president lincoln's plan of compensated abolishment further effort was made in this direction in congress where in january 1863 the house passed a bill appropriating 10 million dollars and in february the senate another bill appropriating 15 million dollars to aid compensated abolishment in missouri but the stubborn opposition of three pro-slavery missouri members of the house prevented action on the latter bill or any compromise the question however continually grew among the people of missouri and made such advance that parties accepting the main point as already practically decided at length only divided upon the mode of procedure the conservatives wanted the work to be done by the old state convention the radicals desired to submit it to a new convention fresh from the people legislative agreement having failed the provisional governor called the old state convention together the convention leaders who controlled that body inquired of the president whether he would sustain their action to this he made answer in a letter to shofield dated june 22 1863 your dispatch asking in substance whether in case missouri shall adopt gradual emancipation the general government will protect slave owners in that species of property during the short time it shall be permitted by the state to exist within it has been received desirous as i am that emancipation shall be adopted by missouri and believing as i do that gradual can be made better than immediate for both black and white except when military necessity changes the case my impulse is to say that such projection would be given i cannot know exactly what shape an act of emancipation may take if the period from the initiation to the final end should be comparatively short and the act should prevent persons being sold during that period into more lasting slavery the whole would be easier i do not wish to pledge the general government to the affirmative support of even temporary slavery beyond what can be fairly claimed under the constitution i suppose however this is not desired but that it is desired for the military force of the united states while in missouri to not be used in subverting the temporarily reserved legal rights in states during the progress of emancipation this i would desire also proceeding with its work the old state convention which had hitherto made a most honorable record neglected a great opportunity it indeed adopted an ordinance of gradual emancipation on july 1 1863 but of such an uncertain and dilatory character that public opinion in the state promptly rejected it by the death of the provisional governor on january 31st 1864 the conservative party of missouri lost its most trusted leader and thereafter the radical succeeded to the political power of the state at the presidential election of 1864 that party chose a new state convention which met in saint louis on january 6 1865 and on the sixth day of its session january 11 formerly adopted an ordinance of immediate emancipation maryland like missouri had no need of reconstruction except for the baltimore riot and the arrest of her succession legislature during the first year of the war her state government continued its regular functions but a strong popular undercurrent of virulent secession sympathy among a considerable minority of her inhabitants was only held in check by the military power of the union and for two years emancipation found no favor in the public opinion of the state her representatives like those of most other border states coldly refused president lincoln's earnest plea to accept compensated abolishment and a bill in congress to give maryland 10 million dollars for that object was at once blighted by the declaration of one of her leading representatives that maryland did not ask for it nevertheless the subject could no more be ignored there than in the other states and after the president's emancipation proclamation an emancipation party developed itself in maryland there was no longer any evading the practical issue when by the president's direction the secretary of war issued military order early in october 1863 regulating the raising of colored troops in certain border states which decreed that slaves might be enlisted without consent of their owners but provided compensation in such cases at the november election of that year the emancipation party of maryland elected its ticket by an overwhelming majority and a legislature that enacted laws under which a state convention was chosen to amend the constitution of the delegates elected on april 6 1864 61 were emancipationists and only 35 opposed after two months debate this convention by nearly two-thirds adopted an article that hereafter in this state there shall neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except in punishment of crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted and all persons held to service or labor as slaves are hereby declared free this decisive test of a popular vote accepting the amended constitution as a whole remained however yet to be undergone president lincoln willingly complied with a request to throw his official voice and influence in favor of the measure and wrote on october 10 1864 a convention of maryland has framed a new constitution for the state a public meeting is called for this evening at baltimore to aid in securing its ratification by the people and you ask a word from me for the occasion i presume the only feature of the instrument about which there is serious controversy is that which provides for the extinction of slavery it needs not to be a secret and i presume it is no secret that i wish success to this provision i desire it on every consideration i wish all men to be free i wish the material prosperity of the already free which i feel sure the extinction of slavery would bring i wish to see in process of disappearing that only thing whichever could bring this nation to civil war i attempt no argument argument upon the question is already exhausted by the abler better informed and more immediately interested sons of maryland herself i only add that i shall be gratified exceedingly if the good people of the state shall by their votes ratify the new constitution at the election which was held on october 12 and 13 stubborn maryland conservatism whose roots reached far back to the colonial days made its last desperate stand and the constitution was ratified by a majority of only 375 votes out of a total of nearly sixty thousand but the result was accepted as decisive and in due time the governor issued his proclamation declaring the new constitution legally adopted end of chapter 30 recording by alana

RCs03QNQtIg	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCs03QNQtIg	SEW ALONG WITH GWEN HENG X KNOW ME ME2021	hey everyone this is Gwen and welcome to the sew Along video for my early spring design with no me patterns the me2021 in this video I'm going to walk you through the process of sewing view a and to that so this dress that I'm wearing right here the dress with the bishop sleeves and the bow in the back so a little bit of note on the fabric this version right here is made using quilting cotton but in this video I'm using a thrifted bed sheet to make my dress now the thrifted bed sheet is basically a cotton blend but it's got a little bit more of a drape and flow than regular quilting cotton and we'll be able to see the difference in how the dress Falls and looks at the end of the video now let's get started make sure you have the following pieces cut the bodice front in the main fabric the bodice back in the main Fabric and the bodice front in the lining fabric take some time to Mark out the Stitch line for the neckline of the bodice front because this is going to help with the sewing process a lot later you'll also need to cut the bodice back pieces in the lining fabric the skirt front in the main fabric the skirts back in the main Fabric and two pieces of the sleeves in the main fabric for this version of the dress I've chosen to sew the sleeve cuffs and the bow in a contrast fabric it's going to be cute here's the front bodice piece start by applying interfacing to the neckline and sew stay stitches along the neckline next using a longer Stitch length on your machine so basting stitches along the under bust area where we're going to be gathering later continue working with the body's back pieces over here I've applied interfacing along the neckline and sewed stay stitches along the neckline next sew the way starts on the body's back pieces for your darns to look nice and sharp make sure you tie a knot at the end of each Dart and press the darts towards the center now we're going to put the bodies back and front together place the back in front pieces right sides together and sew them together along the shoulder seams and side seams when you're done with that this is how your bodies should be looking now repeat the same process with the lining fabric pieces so things are starting to get exciting here because the bodice is starting to come together you notice that I didn't add any basting stitches for Gathering the under bust for the lining fabric pieces because I have a nice lazy sewing hack for you coming up later it's now time to sew the lining to the bodice place the lining and Main fabric bodice pieces right sides together making sure that you have them aligned along the side seams and the shoulder seams over here I've also taken some time to Mark out the point where the seam allowance along the back neckline and the zipper Edge intersects because this is where I'm going to start and stop sewing remember to backstitch and just to follow the seam allowance guide on your sewing machine to help you with your sewing if you had taken the time to Mark out the Stitch line on the body's front then once you get to the front it's super easy just follow your markings and pivot as needed foreign [Music] it's looking good now before we continue I like to apply a little bit of free check to the three deepest points of the neckline one two and three this helps to secure the stitches by just a little bit more because we need to clip the three deepest points of the neckline as close as we can without actually cutting the stitches next turn the bodice right sides out and understitched the lining give the neckline a good press with the fabric pieces wrong sides together so the neckline will look nice and neat if you can feel some puckering in the seam allowance along the neckline after pressing then you need to turn the bodice wrong sides out and trim the seam allowance the goal is to make sure that this cute sweetheart neckline sits really nice and flat on our chest foreign [Music] we're going to start working on the skirt Begin by sewing the darts on the skirt front and skirt back just like before tie a knot at the end of each Dart and press the darts towards the center after sewing and pressing the darts here's how the skirt front looks and these are the skirt back pieces oops I think I forgot to press one of these darts can you tell which one I'm gonna do that before moving on to the next step now we're going to start sewing the skirt together place the skirt front and skirt back pieces right sides together and sew along the side seams we have another half of the dress done it's time to put the skirt and the bodice together in pin bodies to the skirt right sides together along the waist seam make sure you have the bodice and the skirt matched up at the notches and the side seams you will also need to pay special attention to the section of the underbust that needs to be gathered this is how I like to do it I start off by pinning the notches and with the pins in place I then start pulling on the basting stitches slowly and gather up the under bust section until the bodice fits the skirt perfectly the volume of gathers that I have over here might look smaller than yours and that's only because I did a small bust adjustment to this pattern I always have to make a small bust adjustment to all of my sewing patterns and that's because I'm an honorary member of the itty bitty community now this looks perfect to me and we're gonna sew the pieces together and this is how it looks right now side seams are matched up guards are matched up and the gathered section is directly above the front skirt darts zipper time the pattern actually calls for an invisible zipper and the instruction walks you through the process of installing one I like using a regular zipper sometimes so I'm going to walk you through my process of sewing with a regular zipper this Notch over here actually represents where the end of the zipper goes I have sewn basting stitches between the top of the dress and this Notch right here and regular stitches between the knot and the skirt hem next I pressed the center back seam open then I pin the right side of the zipper in place and just start sewing you'll notice that I don't have any extra pins or extra basting stitches but I'm moving my fingers a lot because I'm actually using my fingers to feel for the teeth of the zipper right now what I'm doing is just sewing the right side of the dress to the right zipper tape and the teeth off the zipper is actually right here under the left side of the dress I keep sewing and keep working my way down until I get to the end of the zipper then I pivot so a couple of stitches across horizontally and I pivot my work again now here's my trick to pivoting I actually like to leave my needle halfway in the dress before pivoting um because this helps to make sure that the stitches and the thread don't get shifted while I'm doing the pivoting so over here I continue to feel for the zipper and right now it continues to be on this side of the dress and then I keep working my way up um once I get close to the top I undo a couple of basting stitches then with the needle in the dress I lift my zipper foot up and then I unzip the zipper just by a couple of inches just so the zipper head doesn't get in my way as I am sewing the top part of the zipper tape don't forget to back stitch and of course undo the basting stitches now with the zipper installed we're going to start working on cleaning up the lining the way that I'm finishing the lining here is also a little different from the written instructions I start off by paying attention to the top of the zipper I Stitch really close to the under stitching line right here this is just so that the top of the zipper tape will be secured together with the rest of the dress and when you turn it right sides out you should have a nice clean slope looking like this do the same for the other side and don't forget to also trim off the top of the zipper tape so that the seam allowance doesn't get too bulky and here's how it looks yay and now we're going to start sewing the lining to the dress along the Empire waistline start by folding the seam allowance of the bodice lining to the inside of the dress now this is the clean finished look that I'm going for I have that in place and then I took my other hand and I stuck it in to the inside of the dress through the opening along the center back over here I am just holding on to the seam allowance of both the bodice main and bodice lining pieces I pinched them together matching them along the side seams and at the notches and when I got to the part where the underbust of the bodice lining is meant to be gathered I simply folded it neatly like this and then I stitched the lining and the main fabric pieces together along the way seam really close to the original Stitch line it's a little tricky to sew across the entire width of the waist seam in one go so I usually do it like um one half at a time so here I have one half done and then I continue with the other half folding the seam allowance in and then sticking my hand to the inside of the dress along the center back then matching the lining and the main fabric pieces at The Notches along the darts and the side seams just like before ideally I should have the little folds kind of like mirrored but I think I can accept this little imperfection today finally I finished this lining along the center back by hand stitching it down on hindsight I think I might have been able to use the same strategy but this time reaching my hand to the inside of the dress through the armhole opening does that make sense you can try that and let me know what you think sewing the skirt hem is pretty easy and straightforward start by folding one and one quarter worth of fabric along the Hem towards the wrong side then turn the raw Edge in by a quarter inch now because the Hem is a little bit curved you might end up having spots where there's puckering of the fabric on the wrong side of the dress and that is completely normal let's start working on the sleeves take the sleeve cuff fold it right sides together and sew it along the short Edge right here press the seam open then turn under half an inch along the edge without The Notches trim this to a quarter inch and at this stage your sleeve cap should look like this now take the sleeve fold it right sides together and sew along the underarm seam press the seam open and then we're going to sew two rows of basting stitches along the sleeve hem between the two big dots slowly gather the bottom of the sleeve until the opening is small enough to fit the sleeve cuff pin the sleeve cuff to the opening of the sleeve right sides together matching them at the dots and the seams now the sleeve opening is Tiny and the space is tight but I just wanted to show you how I usually get this done I like to have the right side of the sleeve facing out but I am actually sewing on the inside of the sleeve I actually sew on the wrong side of the sleeve and for the gathers to look nice and cute I make sure that the gathers actually run horizontally across my sewing horizontally across like this and I I do this slowly and I adjust it as I go this is just sped up so take your time when you're working on the sleeve cup over here we're not done yet but can we take a moment to talk about how cute a hack with wider sleeve cuffs will look look at that I love it next we're gonna fold the sleeve cuff in half to the inside of the sleeve and then Stitch it down in place now we're going to be working with a very tight space again and my Approach is similar to the previous step but this time I actually have the sleeve inside out so this is the wrong side of the sleeve and I sew it on the inside which turns out to be the right side over here and I really just sew like a couple of stitches each time and I adjust as I go along because it's important that we catch the sleeve cuff on both the right side and the inside next so basting stitches along the top of the sleeves the points at which the gatherers are meant to be are actually marked as a circle but I like to just cut notches in my fabric because I think that's faster then gather the top of the sleeves until the sleeves are small enough to fit the armhole pin the sleeve to the armhole opening right side together matching them at the notches and the seams and sew them together yes this is how it looks now moving on this is the last and final step we're going to be sewing the bow now here's what you need to know about sewing the bow for the dress there is hand sewing involved I know I know but it's gonna be so worth the time and effort this is how you do it so take the piece and fold it in half lengthwise Stitch across the long Edge and trim the seam allowance in half next turn the bow piece inside out this side here with the seam is the wrong side we want to fold the piece right sides together and sew the short Edge together now because it's going to be quite a number of layers try to have the seam allowance um turned to opposite directions to reduce bulk sew across with 5 8 inch seam allowance and again trim the seam allowance in half turn the bow piece inside out and this is the body of the bow you will also notice that I'm making this bow without interfacing I made the bow on the first version of my dress which is the orange dress on the pattern envelope with interfacing and at the end of the video I'm going to show you side by side the bow width interfacing and the bow without interfacing on the back of the dress how they look so you can compare and see which look you like better foreign even after trimming the seam allowance and pressing it down I find that sometimes this little seam allowance still tends to like stick up so I like to add another row of stitches for this little seam allowance to sit down really nice and flat you can gather the middle of the bow with a row of basting stitches like the instructions but if you're like me and you like things to be in control you can hand fold the middle and then hand sew the folds in place I just want the bow to be folded in this precise exact manner now we're going to sew that little piece of fabric that goes over the middle of the bow fold it in half matching The Notches sew across and trim the seam allowance in half turn this fabric piece right sides out and press it such that the seam sits in the center the side with the seam is basically the wrong side and we're going to take this piece of fabric and wrap it around the middle of the knot like this make sure the ends are folded in and hand sew it in place with slip stitch finally hand sew the snap buttons for securing the bow on the back of the dress and here's how the dress looks [Music] look foreign [Music] One Snap button is enough to hold the bow in place on the back of the dress personally I like to sew an extra snap button just to balance the position of the bow out here is how the bow looks on the dress with just one snap button added and here's how the bow looks with a total of two snap buttons added one on each side of the zipper so for this version of the dress because I'm going for a softer look in the bow I opted for no interfacing and I only had one snap button sewn on each side of the zipper now for the orange version of the dress like I said I made it with quilting cotton and I did add the interfacing to the bow as well so overall the bow has more of a perky look and on top of heavy that one snap button on the side of the zipper I also added two more snap buttons but this time at the ends of the bow rather than in the knot itself so at the end of the day say the number of snap buttons and whether you want to add interfacing it really depends on the kind of look that you're going for for your dress so I hope you found this so long video helpful I've got lots of great tutorials and hacks planned for this sewing pattern which I am so excited to show you so do follow me on all the social channels to stay updated and don't forget to check out all the other amazing designs by the designers of no me patterns I will see you in the next one

OyQ6blTDehk	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyQ6blTDehk	HILTI Nuron (Part 4) SDS Hammer Drills/Impact Wrenches	one more thing i wanted to add for this is uh hilti is smart all right so when it comes to their promo their promo videos they don't do what other brands do and do versus videos against other brands makes you look bad and it's just not smart to do because other brands try to make their brand look better by beating other brands and certain things like some companies did the fastest most powerful hammer drill on the market hilti did versus videos against hilti which is the smarter because it just wants to show you that this one is more powerful than their previous model which i think all brands should do if a brand comes out with a new battery you do with the uh the new battery versus the old battery and don't do your new battery versus another brand's battery or or tool so hilti was smart and i'm hoping that other brands actually do the same thing i suggest all brands do comparison uh stuff with their own previous model uh tools all right guys the man cave tools today we are gonna go over station four part four of the neuron event that happened in switzerland it's a little sds hammer drills and decently powerful impact wrenches now i'm gonna say this when it comes to impact wrenches i'm gonna say milwaukee pretty much dominated most of the market these impact wrenches are powerful enough to do what hilti designed them to do now the main thing that hilti does with impact wrenches is drive in anchors and concrete now i a lot of other brands could do the same thing you know because you only require a certain amount of power but that's the task that hilti actually designs these impact wrenches to do same thing with their previous modeled uh impact wrenches even the big brushed one that i think is garbage now uh that's what they do you know like so the hilti doesn't really care about being the fastest or most powerful their impact wrenches are designed to drive in anchors and that's exactly what the big hilti customers do with them instead of doing like one brand versus another brand see ours is so much better hilti did a versus video against itself which is awesome and i think it's very smart for hilty to do that but this is that footage it was so fun to do [Music] that's not bad that's not bad at [Music] all that's actually extremely easy to use low vibration yeah um osha table and compliant [Music] um uh [Music] [Laughter] [Music] that's really cool that's really cool yeah that's good yes very nice okay [Applause] uh [Music] ready all right thank you i think that was a little bit more than 20 uh improved performance but we'll take it so i'd like to start with a statement that contractors tell us that there are a few key aspects that are important to them when choosing cordless tools the first is work for charge is the way we like to say it it means how much work can i get out of a battery before i have to go charge it or switch it out why is that important well it helps with productivity right less trips to the charger during the day higher productivity i can finish my application faster the next piece that we hear is important is performance right contractors want high performing tools in this station with the te or with the drilling tools that's going to be speed and we'll show you that in a little head-to-head race in a minute and then last but not least of course is safety contractors tell us they want their tradesmen and trades women to be able to work safe all day go home at night same way they came that morning and while doing that they want to keep that productivity hot so they would like safety features integrated into the tools rather than sort of outside forces checking on safety right so they're looking for things that help them be safe but keep that productivity high so with those three statements you're going to hear that throughout the next few minutes first i'm going to demonstrate for you this work per charge or number of holes what i'm using is what for a long time has been best in class at delivering high run time especially for drilling a little bit larger concrete holes or holes in concrete with a this was a 5 8 bit this is the te6 on the 36 volt platform as again i said this is a mainstay for a long time for contractors that wanted to get maximum you know productivity maximum work per charge out of a battery however what i'm able to show you now is that with the neuron platform by this this value proposition of more work for charge i'm able to show you that i'm getting 30 percent more holes out of the new te6 on the 22 volt neuron battery than i was before on the hillt 6a 36. it's impressive i'll let it soak in for a minute but 30 more holes out of the new te6 next i'm going to talk a little bit about performance i'm going to hold up the te4 this is the new t4 on the neuron platform and i'll hold it up as i talk about higher performance this is another thing that neuron gives us with this tool we're able to achieve up to 20 percent higher drilling speed and we're going to show you that sean and i will in a race in just a minute and you might even see a little higher than that but i'll use that statement with that i'm going to turn it over to sean and sean is going to talk a little bit about completing the application we're talking about drilling holes here of course we know that's not all the contractor wants to do so sean take it away thank you david i've heard the presentation so many times i'm still very impressed by how we optimize our tools for word for charge performance size ratio as well as safety and health so now we have a closer look into the power class impact wrench it is equipped with a brand new brushless motor and when you compare to its predecessor tool in the market it is twenty percent more compact which means it's almost one pound lighter and two inches shorter so we are confident our uh tradesman trades women they're going to be happy to carry this uh this tool to do their application all day long and also same as te tools uh we are able to increase work per charge by 30 percent together with neuron platform and one more thing about this impact range is we doubled its lifetime compared to its predecessor tool so this is a power class impact range we're going to launch with neuron platform but we're launching a full range of impact range with neuron from compact class sw4 power class sf16 and ultimate class 8. all right so as you can see like the new scsl hammer drills are awesome and including the new impact wrenches i'm hoping that torque test channel get uh gets these in some way and he tests the crap out of them like he does with all other brands which that would be awesome ttc i'm looking forward to that video in the future but i'm just letting you guys know if hilti does send me an sds hammer drill we are going to be doing sds hammer drill versus videos in the future with other brands so i hope you found this video helpful and entertaining please like this video please hit the bell button to be notified of future videos and please subscribe to the channel this is dave nicholas thank you for tuning in i'll see you guys next time [Music] you	Man Caver Tools	UCxRahOrmMPEFrwjrkl2tI1w	2022-01-30	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

Fjkjm-NtiDo	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fjkjm-NtiDo	2004 Polaris Sportsman 500 Rebuilt after a crash! Engine install and frame repaired!	hey guys today we're going to be working on a 2004 uh sportsman 500. um basically this thing came in a box the story behind this is uh the guy's kid uh drove the thing crashed in the tree this is all mashed up i don't know somehow i don't know if he has laying outside or what but the motor blew after the kids ran and got dabbed and uh came back the motor was dead connecting route was worn out um don't know the whole story on it but basically the thing came in a box so i'm gonna put this together and i thought i'd quick uh get a shot of this before i start tearing it all apart got the plastics off remember when i said uh everything came in a box i really wasn't kidding got the uh the stator the head over there i got a bunch of engine parts in that box back there the flywheel the cover um so what i'm doing here this is that motor i rebuilt in my last video and because this is going into a 2004 we want to keep all electronics the same i'm assuming this is off a 90 something because that's actually off the 425 so i'm gonna go ahead and pull this out and we'll put the o4 stator on and the matching flywheel you want to keep that all together because sometimes the insides are different and we'll throw that on so i got the front end together um as you can see here when the kid hit that stump this is all banged up they said this is all kinked and mashed so if you ever want to take that bracket off there's a not a bolt here i still got to tighten those down not bolt here and that goes into the radiator support also and there are two bolts down here that bolts into and then you'll probably have the plastic side shields that that'll come off too so yeah the front's done so now i'm about ready to drop my motor in but uh before i do that i want to make sure that i get my starter in place because it'll be easier with the engine out of the machine to put the starter in so i'm going to go ahead do that now i'm probably going to drop the motor and i normally wouldn't do it from this side installing the engine but uh that's the way the guy that took it apart did so i'm just going to try to slide it back in that way all right so it did work it was a pain so now i want to get the back bolts lined up in the holes so i got the motor halfway so you got them holes back there so we gotta line that up with those two holes and then you got your front mount while you're doing this make sure you don't pinch your wiring harness for your stator or anything like that i'm going to get my a lot of stuff out of the way that's good it's good it's probably easier to do from the other side [Music] all right let's make sure there we go sweet so what i like to do is uh tighten the back bolts first because that's going to bring the motor back and then i put the top motor mount on that goes up here and then i'll tighten the back the front one now be careful not to drop your bolts in the boot size put the bolt in the boot bring it over the top this is your chances of dropping it one started do the same thing with the other side the last thing you want to do is uh drop a bolt in your freshly rebuilt engine i've done it before but i caught it i was able to throw a magnet down there so learn from my mistakes i'm going to tighten that down like i was telling you this thing came in a box so i'm still kind of searching for parts i gotta look for the uh the ground strap actually for this but i'm gonna get one bolt started finding out you know when you buy somebody else's project hopefully they've tagged and bagged everything decent so you can find everything all my stuff came in a plastic bin so i'll be searching yeah and your top bolt here will go your ground strap and that'll strap up here somewhere this is another reason why i like to leave that bottom bolt loose because you're going to want to move the engine back and forth to get this little nut back here with your ground strap on it okay so after i got that motor mount hooked up i hooked up my exhaust put my donut in got my bolts in and let's go around this side all right let me uh tell you a quick tip so go ahead and put the motor mount on first and then do the boot because uh with the boot on first and then the motor mount it's hard to get that bolt tucked up underneath there and uh i just wanted to show you this so you got that anytime you do a motor swap make sure you have the right temperature sensor in right there this particular temperature sensor on the o4 has two wires coming in and the one i had in there only had one so i pulled the temperature sensor out of the other head and i put it in there so that uh that works i got everything else hooked up i got my starter positive negative got my clutches um now you got your two oiler hoses down here and uh always keep in mind that uh you're looking at your oil reservoir you look towards the bottom on the inside there's a hose the bottom hose goes towards the top inlet of the engine the top hose goes to the bottom i bought a four wheeler once and the motor blue and the guy couldn't figure out why the motor blew after he replaced it well he had mixed up the oil lines so there was no oil going into the engine so i thought i could point that out to you guys just uh just a little reminder and i thought you guys screw that up um i just got to clean the carb up and uh she should be about ready to fire up so stay tuned listen to this baby roar here's a quick shot of what i'm trying to tell you about bottom hose goes to the top top hose from the reservoir goes to the bottom and one more thing don't forget to hook up your uh coolant lines down here and when you're going to fill your radiator there's a bleeder screw right here so crack that open let the air rush out once you see a little coolant trickle out close that up keep topping it off what i like to do is i'll squeeze this radiator hose and uh try to get some coolant back up through the radiator and when i go to fire this thing up i'll leave the radiator cap off make sure coolant circulates and that way all the air is blood out of the coolant system uh if you get the air pocket in there and you forget to do that you might have overheating issues so i said uh just got to clean the carb up this thing must have been sitting for a while this is an ho she's pretty crusty in there i'll give this thing a good cleaning and uh once i'm done with that that should be about ready to go hey so i just got my carburetor hooked up uh about ready to get this bad boy fired up i'll show you what this 425 conversion no 500 does so here hold my beer while i pull start it ah 425 into a 500. there you have it yes it can be done	Titaniumman Garage	UC4uM7_00rXdzsfkex_GJqNw	2020-10-02	Creative Commons

3hLviXOy4qQ	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hLviXOy4qQ	Shein Curve Swimsuits \| 2 Piece Swimwear \| Size 16/18 \| Plus Size #plussizeswimsuit	welcome back to my channel my name is wendy and this is what wendy wears today i'm super excited because i purchased some swimsuits from sheen all of the swimsuits today that you are going to see are two-piece swimsuits and i purchased a variety so that way they're not the same style in these two piece swims i'm trying to get familiar with my body to see which two-piece swims work a little better on my body so let me know which one is your favorite down below in the comments i do respond to all of my comments so please let me know so let's go ahead and get started to the first swimsuit this is my first bathing suit and i'm kind of torn in half between whether i like it or not what i do like is the top because i do like like this peekaboo underboob type of look at the top but i'm not a big fan of the shorts because here they tend to roll up on my thighs because i have larger thighs so that's one thing i'm not a fan of but i do really like the top i love the colors the top is um like similar to a sports bra so it has some lift in here but i just like the fact that it has some support it does have cups and normally i like i mentioned before in one of my previous videos that the cups i tend to just throw out because i'm not a fan of but overall as far as the shorts go i'm not a fan so with this two-piece suit it's a no for me because of the bottoms if it was the top in a different bottom maybe yes but i do not like these shorts so this bathing suit i actually really do like i love the fact that the bottoms are high rise you know my belly button's here and it goes a few inches above my belly button so it covers my tummy on top of that i love the print of the sunflowers this one here has this little overhang and it is similar to a bando style top but it does have the openings for your arms here on the side so then that way you could kind of um see that you could stick your hands through or your arms through there so you could see the um the way it hangs over your shoulder since this is strapless so i do actually really like the way that this fits here's the back of it it has pretty good coverage in the back as well i am wearing um underwear underneath uh because again i'm trying on these suits so this is the first time i'm trying them on all of the suits are 2x they are going to be listed in the description below so that way if you like them you can go directly to the sheen site but overall this is a yes now this suit i love the colors and i love the fit of it i honestly think that this suit would be good for lounging at the pool or going to a pool party because of the style of the suit i hate the cups inside because these are going to go out because they're not located in the right location this here this little v that you see here has like a little metal in there so it keeps that v it keeps its shape and then um i like the fact that the material that they wrapped it around here the detail is not itchy um but again if you sit down and stuff it might roll up a roll up a little same thing with the bottoms because the elastic is a little lower on top or below the material here but this one here is higher cut on the sides and then it's a little cheeky on the back as well uh but overall um i do like the fit and as i mentioned this would probably be better for me at like a pool not just to hang around all day at the beach it's just the the coverage is my issue but overall i do like it and i like the way it looks so some of you like to have more coverage on a bathing suit and i really think that this would be really great i love the fit this one has really good support at the top which i do appreciate and then it falls and it kind of skims my body down which i really like it does have full bottoms and they have they go about just right below my belly button and then uh the back has full coverage as well and i do like it um i really this would be a bathing suit that i would actually wear to the beach because i would feel comfortable even running around and everything else so this two piece i really like especially since it has such a good hold here in my breast area so this is an absolute yes so this is the last swimsuit and it's okay um i really like the top and i love the detail here in the front um and i love the fit especially since it kind of bees down to give you more shape i love the fact that these straps here have um they're adjustable so that way if you need a little bit more support you have that in the back as well and its support is is decent honestly it's it's great i mean if you're gonna go running at the beach this probably wouldn't be the best swimsuit to wear but i mean at least it holds you in as far as the bottoms go they do fit me a little snug around the top um that way i mean i could tell because it's kind of um i have some over overage at the top but you know what um i do love the colors and i like the way it fits all all around um but like i mentioned the bottoms are a little snug but this suit i really do like it so i hope you like those bathing suits if you did leave a comment down below tell me which one of the bathing suits you like the best also if you like videos like this hit the like subscribe and the

SjYd0_Y-iMY	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjYd0_Y-iMY	Nintendo Entertainment System (NES Mini) Classic Edition Review	hey guys welcome back to come again TV the only place on YouTube we're all geek culture collides I'm Shannon and today on the show we're taking a look at the Nintendo Entertainment System NES classic edition so as a kid I had the original NES in fact here's a picture of me getting it for Christmas right here and I have to say when I heard this was coming out it brought back a lot of great memories I tried one of those retro game system things a few years back it was kind of a generic Nintendo and it worked okay but there was just too many buttons on the controller it had the regular up-and-down arrows select start and it had force for buttons and they all there was two bees and two A's and both ones did pretty much the exact same thing I'm not sure what the reason for that was but I really didn't care for it all that much I had a bunch of cartridges about half of them worked half of them didn't so when I heard they were coming out with this NES classic Edition that had games included I had to get one and so the wife mentioned to me that she wanted to get the Super NES classic edition which game stopped no longer carries she saw that Game Stop on Friday we went back yesterday and they said they no longer carry which kind of sucked but we went ahead and got this NES classic edition so we did pay $60 for it it comes with 30 classic NES games included official Nintendo seal there's the Nintendo logo and judging from the box this box they did not go with the design of the original NES for the packaging but the packaging does kind of give you that classic feel here's the side of it NES console it's a retro blast from the past with the return of the all-time fan favorite Nintendo Entertainment System this mini NES classic edition system is packed with 30 pre-installed classic Nintendo Entertainment System games from the 80s fully loaded and ready to play using the original style NES classic controller there's Bowser bomb and pretty much the same thing here only in Spanish and French I believe and then same thing on this side here only it's about the controller play classic NES games the way they were meant to be played on a full-sized original NES controller just plug it in and you're ready to go includes all the original features plus control pad for quick control and movement a and B buttons for rapid fire action and select and start from menu selection and pausing the game pretty cool and here's just some of the games that are included on the front here Super Mario Brothers Metroid pac-man Donkey Kong Zelda Kirby's adventures we move around to the back and we have a full list of the games we have balloon fight Bubble Bobble castlevania castlevania 2 summit's quest donkey kong Donkey Kong jr. Double Dragon 2 the revenge dr. Mario they say was it Excitebike Final Fantasy Galaga ghosts and goblins Gradius ice climber Kid Icarus Kirby's adventures the original Mario Brothers not Super Mario Brothers Mario Brothers this was the game that introduced well it came out after Donkey Kong I believe Mario seemed to be kind of a popular character in the original Donkey Kong I never played Donkey Kong so I'm not really sure if as Donkey Kong or Donkey Kong jr. said he was in but he was a popular character say they gave him his own game and it it looks more like kind of a donkey kong Meets The Goonies game rather than the Super Mario Brothers that we know and love and that later developed into the Super Mario Brothers franchise we've also got Megaman 2 Metroid Ninja Gaiden which was another great game I had pac-man punch-out featuring mr. dream startropics super C Super Mario Brothers Super Mario 2 brothers 2 and Super Mario Bros 3 along with Tecmo Tecmo Bowl The Legend of Zelda and Zelda 2 The Adventures of link a couple games I wish they would have included on here was I see onyx and the quadrille combo adventures or Quadro adventures it was a four in one game that my grandma had got me for Christmas one year off the Home Shopping Network it had super Robin Hood boomerangs Jack or something like that and a couple others really fun games from what I remember so here on the top we have the Nintendo controller with classics on there now let's go ahead and open it up and take a look inside you will notice I did already cut the tape off of it flip it open like that we'll go ahead and set the box to the side take a look comes with a little booklet open this up looks like maybe a booklet and a poster pretty cool poster once I get a bigger place and I have my own office I will definitely be hanging this up along with my other gaming posters here's the warranty and user agreement information also on the back of this poster comes with the NES classic edition startup instructions ok now first things first let's take a look at the controller does have kind of a styrofoam blanket on it and plastic wrap around the cord with the twist tie and the cord is not very long it's maybe three feet long which means you're really gonna have to be sitting right up on the game to a play it luckily for me I don't really need that long a controller I think you can buy adapters but I play my games on for the most part on the corner of my bed and the TV is right there so I don't really need that long of a cord however I can tell I may end up having some issues I may need to get the adapter because I'm one of those players that likes to move when I'm playing and this is almost identical to the original Nintendo controller the pad itself is identical you have the directional switch select start B and a and and then Nintendo design there the only thing different really other than the length of the court would be the style of the plug-in so set that to the side here's the plug in for it USB Jack there everything else this tucks underneath so we have here the HDMI cable and it may be a decent length you won't be able to have it too far away from the TV but it'll give you a little bit of reach and then we have the charger secured with a twist tie and plugs in just like that and this ends we'll plug into the NES classics so let's get that out of the way the NES classic is very small I'm surprised how many games they were managed to pack into this thing because of how small it is it is wrapped in a styrofoam blanket and yeah it is it looks like a miniature version of the original super or this original Nintendo Entertainment System you got the power button with the reset button you have the light display didn't deiicate power and controller one controller - this did only come with one controller here we have the HDMI out and the DC in plug in just like that plugs in just like that okay which is different from the original Nintendo Entertainment System it had the red and white white coax cables as well as the screw on cable that plugged into the TV very nice this door it's it doesn't open it's just there to make it look like the original Nintendo Entertainment System very cool very nice sorry guys had phone call one of those schemers apologize for that but as you can see the underneath looks almost identical to the original it's got the non-slip non slide pads on the feet it's very nice now I'm gonna go ahead and switch over and we'll get into a little bit of gameplay keep in mind I do not have a capture card so all gameplay footage will be through my phone zoomed in on the screen so sit tight everyone see here [Music] got a selection here we'll choose English then we'll go down it's okay so since Super Mario Brothers is the one I am most familiar with as you see here there's the original Mario Brothers but since I'm most familiar with Super Mario Brothers we'll go ahead and play that one from all right so for whatever reason my camera quit recording so I went ahead and exited out but if you leave it on this screen for a long enough time oh you can't save it looks like that was my preap that's where I left off on Super Mario Brothers before I noticed the camera screen or the camera had shut off but I'm gonna start over from the beginning it is identical to the original pretty cool that you can actually save your game though which is something in the original Nintendo you couldn't do unless of course you had a game genie [Music] the graphics are identical [Music] there we go B is also run faster but as you can see guys it's pretty much the same so I'm gonna leave it here and tune in again hopefully I'll be able to beat this game for once in my life I never got to beat it before so have a good one geeks take care if you enjoyed that video make sure you hit the subscribe button right there so you can see up to date on all things geek culture also make sure you check out one of these two playlists on the side for more videos just like the one you just watched I'm Shannon for come again TV the only place on YouTube were all geek culture collides take care geeks	ComicgeddonTV	UCIpxFEeSm6NzMVVYKGIrR9A	2019-03-27	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	1,704	8,869
6Sf9RO7Pdu4	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Sf9RO7Pdu4	Heater Overview MarineAndReef.com	hello everyone this is Jaron from Marina drift calm today is thinking of starting to get a little bit cooler and we're approaching winter we decided to do a video on aquarium heaters I want to help you guys as far as choosing the right heater for your aquarium and deciding whether or not you need here as well as some tips to make sure your heater keeps working and doesn't wind up failing unfortunately like sometimes they do so first off why would you need a heater well your aquarium needs to be at the proper temperature for the animals you're keeping for most of us that's going to be 78 degrees for saltwater aquariums that are tropical it's going to be 80 degrees for freshwater aquariums that are tropical and then if you have cold water fish you can't go a bit cooler these fish are more rare it's very common for cold water saltwater fish they kept around 70 degrees and cold water freshwater fish to be kept even 68-65 very cold temperatures because most of us have warm water tropical fish we typically mean for them 78 for saltwater and 80 degrees for fresh water now if you live in an area like we do where we're in Arizona it's quite possible that you could not need a heater your tank could naturally stay at that temperature range without any problems at all and in that case is no reason you should buy a heater is just would serve no purpose but if you like to keep your house extra cool or in the winter you never turn the heat on or if you're in a climate as substantially colder it was a good chance that you are going to need a heater to maintain that temperature year-round at the acceptable range before you buy the heater it's best to first get a thermometer and check the temperature to make sure you know what's actually going on I recommend Coraline digital thermometers finally one of the easiest to read though there's all kinds of other thermometers whether the analog thermometers that we're all familiar with as well as a few other sticking on thermometers that like real that can help you on now or life is my personal favorite once you put that thermometer in the tank and get a temperature reading I can inform you as to whether or not you need to add a heater tear tape when it comes to selecting the right heater the first question is how big of a heater do you need now all the heater manufacturers put different aquarium ratings on their heaters themselves and a wattage rating keeping the keep in mind is the aquarium rating is what the manufacturer believes but the wattage rating is the best way to compare the different viewers in general we recommend about 3 to 5 watts of heater per gallon of aquarium so a 50 gallon aquarium would typically use about a 150 watt heater to a 250 watt heater and those will do a good job you can make your decision on how big of a hear you need based on the fact just where your normal climate and how much of a temperature increase you need here in Arizona I typically don't go bigger than 3 watts of heater per gallon I just don't need more heater than that but if you're in a very cold climate and they make a lot more sense to go to that 5 watts of heater per gallon another thing to emphasize is that more is not better there's no benefit to going with a 1000 watt heater in that 50 gallon tank and there's a few reasons behind that the biggest being if a heater is going to turn on and off continually so if you have that large heater in that tank I'm going to turn on and off many many more times as it quickly heats up the tank and then quickly heats it up again once it cools they can actually wear out the heater and cause it to last less time ultimately worn out heaters can often fail so we don't want to overwork it get the proper sized eater don't go too big don't go too small and if anything I'd err on too small over too big because those temperature increases will be more gradual and you will have so many on/off cycles on my heater another thing to mention is a great idea is to use multiple heaters to reach that wattage so if I use two 100 watt meters not 50 gallon tank versus a 150 or 200 watt it's really good because heaters are known for sometimes feeling something we'll discuss later so with two heaters one heater fails it's not as big of a problem as if one ginormous heater fails on and winds up heating the tank up too hot so you definitely can use multiple heaters to achieve that goal of warming your tank next we're going to go over the different materials the heaters are made out of followed by the different kinds of temperature control the heaters use after you've selected the correct wattage and size of heater that you need the next point is going to decide what kind of material you want your heater to be made out of this heater here is an awasa heater and it's what most people think of when they see an aquarium heater this is a glass heater made of a glass body years ago these glass heaters had a bad reputation for breaking but a lot of the modern ones have become much much more durable the glass is like a Pyrex glass it's much harder than just a regular glass and this is what I personally use in most situations these are also very very affordable and they work pretty well that's why they've stayed around for as long as they have if you don't want to go with glass because you want something heavier duty you're more afraid of things breaking you have a big fish that bang into things or you don't have a sump you can put the heater in you may consider the heater made of plastic like this cobalt heater here cobalt in particular taps these plastic heaters it's extra durable I've seen many tests where they show videos people dropping them repeatedly they are a little bit more durable in glass the more shatter resistant even though that's a very heavy-duty glass they are heavier duty it's also nice about the the black plastic is this gonna blend into black backgrounds very well and they can make the heater fit in a long game which means they'll fit into spaces the other heaters can't so there's just one of the advantages of going with a plastic bodied heater and the last heater we'll talk about it's going to be a titanium here this is a jvj one here titanium heaters are generally the most durable heaters are gonna find they are metal but because they're titanium they're not going to rust and seawater they're going to keep their shape and they have a very very heavy duty bill this is ultimately if you are very concerned with large breaking things are you dropping something Pentium is probably the most durable material this titanium heater has a cover over it to prevent even further fish leaning up against the heater and burning themselves the covers plastic with the rod inside is titanium and these work very very well a lot of these titanium heaters will come there they need to be plugged into a separate controller the gbg1 includes that controller with it but they very often don't have the temperature control built-in like some of the glass or plastic eaters are going to with that we're going to follow up and talk about how the temperature is controlled and the different meter types once you've selected the material that you're looking for another thing to consider is how the thermostat in the heater works so heaters are not constantly on heaters have a thermostat built into the heater themselves that responds to the temperature outside so that the heater either it turns on and heats up the water or it turns off and lets the water slowly cool it down this is very important because the heater is left on wind-up heating the tank up too much and that can lead to killing some fish so making sure you have a very reliable thermostat is very important we usually like to either heaters like this iwasa use a mechanical thermostat actually the way that the thermostat works inside this heater is to metal contact points and based on the temperature outside those points Bend and if they Bend together they complete the circuit and the heater turns on once atop they've been more and they separate heater turns off many people feel that this is one of the most reliable ways of running a heater particularly because there's no electronic components that can fail it's purely mechanical and because that gives a lot of people some confidence that's going to work but there are some disadvantages to that first off with that mechanical design it's not very accurate or precise those pieces of metal Bend and they don't exactly bend at exactly the same point every single time so it's very common with heaters like this that if you were to set the thermostat on the heater to 80 you may find it'll keep the tank at 82 you didn't just have to go over to change it to 78 and that will keep the tank at 80 I just have to know there's some inherent variability in there same thing with the window as far as how long it takes for the heater to turn on and turn off because those metal pieces do a little bit of their own thing and bend inside the heaters say not gonna turn on as soon as the temperature drops to seventy nine point five and then heated up to exactly 80 maybe one time it goes down to 78 that turns on one time it goes to 70 9 and turns on just a wider window but a lot of people do feel it's very reliable as far as lasting a long time and not failing if you're wanting something that's more precise and turns on consistently every single time at the same time a digital thermostat like the one built into this cobalt can be very helpful these digital thermostats actually have a computer chip built into the heater themselves and that's gonna read the temperature outside and tell the heater exactly when to turn on and off these cobalt neo therm heaters in particular are known for being very very accurate and turning on at exactly the temperature you set every single time so that's important to you you should definitely consider using a digital thermostat one last note is a lot of titanium heaters or heaters using an external controller like this jvj have a separate temperature probe right here so particularly if you leave your heater in the tank but tends to happen sometimes is the water around the heater is hot but the rest of the tank is not warm and I can kind of mess up the heater because it's really only heating that water around the taking out the whole tank now if you have your heater in a filtration compartment and an all-in-one tank or in the sump of water passing over it it's not that big of an issue because the heat is continuously dispersed but if it's sitting in the aquarium can be an issue the gbg heater and many other titanium heaters have a separate temperature probe the advantage of this is you can move this probe to another location in the tank that way the heater is not reading the temperature around where it is it's reading the temperature in the location that you're concerned about and a lot of people believe this can give you even even more accurate reading gpj also uses that digital thermostat and one unique feature of this one is you can calibrate it so for example on that iwasa heater I mention that you find that the heater is reading 78 but it's maintaining an 80 and that's kind of annoying it works but it's a little annoying the jvj heater you set the temperature at 85 seventy-eight there's an adjustment knob in the back or you can use a little screwdriver and changes so the display will then read the correct temperature just makes things very convenient when it comes to setting the temperature in your tank and if that's important to you you should definitely consider a heater like this the last thing we're going to discuss is heater safety as you've already alluded to one of the key concerns when using a heater in your aquarium is a very large percentage of tank crashes and failures happen because of heater failures now there's a variety of different kinds of heater failures that happen the one that's probably the most prominent is going to be the heater failing on if the thermostat and the heater fails and the heater stays on you want to slowly raise your aquarium temperature it can ultimately cook everything inside and kill the animals so there's a variety of things we can do to prevent this the first thing is using two heaters rather than a single heater as you mentioned this way if one of the heaters fails isn't putting the full heat of the heater into the aquarium it was going to raise the temperature much more slowly this will let you know there's something wrong and have more time to react rather than if you had a huge heater that turned on could heat things up really fast before you can do anything about it the second thing is you only want to use your heaters when you have to so if you're like us where you have a relatively warm summer your heater probably isn't turning on in the summer and because when the heater is on there's a chance the heater could fail and you're putting wear and tear on the heater from having to turn on occasionally so that's just to remove your heater during the summer once things start to get cool and you need the heater again you can put it back into service this way you're not putting as much wear and tear on the heater it's gonna last longer you need more chance that it's going to perform like it's supposed to the next thing we're going to mention is backing up a heater so with any heater all it takes for it to fail is that thermostat thermostat fails heater turns on ultimately resultant some bad issues with your tank better than that is having two things that need to fail before your heater can cause a catastrophe so one of our favorite products are products like this Auto aqua smart temp control what this is going to do is it's going to have a probe that goes in your aquarium or aquarium sump and a socket the socket will plug into a wall or a power strip and your heaters going to go into the socket what this probe will do is measure the heat and with the probe ever senses that the temperature goes above a preset value of 83 degrees it will turn off the heater and also make an audible alarm to let you know something bad is happening this is very very important because even if the heater fails your tank won't die it will heat up a little bit then shut the heater off and the heater will not be heating anymore once you hear the alarm you can know something happened to investigate the heater and fix it before your animals wind up getting cooked and cooked and killed in addition to little plugs like this you can also get a full aquarium controller such as a Neptune apex but it's going to be significantly more expensive but you will also unlock many other features at the apex has besides this the last thing that we'll discuss as far as heater security is heaters are also known for braking in particular heaters that are glass sometimes the top of the heater cap will separate from the body and that can lead to rust or other metals going into the tank for many aquariums is maybe no big deal particularly for reef aquariums or aquariums with invertebrates such as shrimp tanks those melts can be a very very toxic to avoid this the first thing to consider is check your heaters regularly to make sure there's no damage choose a more durable heater you may want to go with a titanium here over that glass that's less known for breaking and the last thing to consider is that here's really do have a lifespan my general rule is I don't expect any heater to last more than twice whatever the warranty period says the warranty is a good idea of what the manufacturer believes the heater should last they tend to last a little bit longer than that but if you purchase a heater with a one-year warranty - probably should be replaced after about three years you purchase a heater like this neo Thurmond cobalt as a longer warranty three years it may last five or six years but at that point I still consider replacing it because I don't want it to fail and that kind of gives you a metric of how long the heater should last look at that warranty period which shows the manufacturers confidence in the parts it's really short you're probably gonna want to replace that heater sooner if it's longer it means the heater is designed to last longer without parts breaking or failing and because that failure can be so devastating you want to stay on top of swapping it out once the eater gets old and has somewhere on it if you like this content or have any other questions related to aquarium keeping please feel free to reach the

bUgQW7Xzx68	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUgQW7Xzx68	Water School \| Simone Johnson \| REC 3.0	[Music] and so I I planned on sharing about like my experience creating an emergent experimental and fluid space but I I feel like I was guided to share something else which is how where water School emerged from and um what we did the first year and what's happening right now in 2021 I started Water School um and I I had the way it started is I had a chance to participate in a group artist residency called tinning the edge which was a collaboration between two New York city-based organizations called works on water and culture push and New York City's Department of City Planning and artists were asked to think about how people living in the city could 10 to the 520 miles of Shoreline that make up the city and also comment on the New York City comprehensive Waterfront plan which is a document that outlines how the waterfronts can be Equitable resilient and healthy and for some reason I was really interested in researching wetlands in the city and so my project was called Yucca learning from it with wetlands I I want to show the website if that's possible I think that's let's see just kind of bear with me for a second so I think it I really want to show the website so this is the project website if you see at the top it says 2021 tending The Edge and then there's a subtitle that says tending The Edge caring for the New York City Coastline and its communities now and in the future and it goes on to describe this initiative and then you'll see all the different projects that people worked on whether it was one person or it was a pair of people for example you'll see between the Sea and the shore storytelling in Far Rockaway um multi-species wisdom along the water's edge there's my project learning from wetlands then there's sacred Waters Jamaica Bay and honor indigenous land water and treaties and land acknowledgment campaign campaign um and so then there's another person's project who I'm not sure why it's not on that website but there's an artist named Zoe Hart Who along with another artist named Morgan Williams they talk a lot about Waterfront access for people with disabilities and I just really appreciate their work and want to share it whenever I'm in a group space and so here's always Waterfront access mapping project I could share the links in in the chat so I just wanted to share what other people were working on in this type of group artist residency hopefully my my uh screen changes aren't giving you a headache so what was happening before attending the edge in 2020 during the height of the pandemic I I was living in Queens and I moved to Upstate New York to stay with my friend for a month and she had this gorgeous swamp in her backyard and I had such a wonderful time living near the swamp which I think really inspired my focus on Wetlands pretending The Edge and so ever since waking up to the swamp every day for a month in 2020 wetlands have come into my life more and more and wetlands which I always have to remind myself are described as you know areas of land that are periodically or constantly covered with water Wetlands can either be tidal meaning they contain sea water that fluctuates with tides or non-tidal meaning water presence is not linked to tides and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recognizes five types of wetlands ocean Estuary River lake and Marsh that's from the ocean Conservancy but I'm interested in other ways of describing wetlands um and it's really cool to see all the different Wetlands that exist there's swamps there's salt and freshwater marshes mangroves bins bogs Forest swamps with vernal pools and so Water School came out of researching Wetlands which many have been destroyed across the country in the U.S and they continue to be disregarded even when there is research and full evidence that Wetland ecosystems are so vital and Water School came out of inquiry questioning around what are the perceptions and stories of wetlands and how can we restore places like swamps which tend to be viewed as irritating and disease-filled and they're taking up space and they're not useful a lot of times it's like this tension between wetlands and agriculture I have an agriculture background so this is also another reason why I'm interested and so wetlands are so beautiful and they do they they give so much to us like the ocean and I can't really outline now like what they they do um because my mind is filled with a lot of things right now but I do encourage people to do your own Wetland research because Wetlands seem to be everywhere um so let me see I just want to share some of my Wetland experiences so this is the swamp that I lived near in 2020 Bundy hill swamp I was happy to their blueberries growing there this is um the Graniteville Forest swamp in Staten Island um where I grew up this is Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens New York and actually between these two Wetlands I got to see like what are the what are the lives of wetlands because for the Graniteville Forest swamp there was a lot of community struggling around this Wetland to Survive and Thrive and the community tried so hard to save it but unfortunately there's a 99-year lease for um a store to be built on this wetland um whereas for Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge this Wetland which has other environments like Upland forests and the bay and beaches it has so many resources and protective measures so you get to really see like wow their lives are just so different you know um and there's more context around both of these situations and as a part of my research I had a chance to collaborate with an artist named Marie Lorenz who has this cool project called Titan current taxi and we paddled out to White Island in Jamaica Bay to go look at the marshes um which was pretty cool I'm definitely a saltwater person getting used to being in an arid desert environment right now four more minutes man okay so that went by really fast um I just wanted to show you my Wetland experiences and I guess to end this because I have so much more to say um and I don't want to go back and forth between my camera and my phone but this is where water School emerged from it emerged from the the life of wetlands and the struggle of wetlands and what it is to to work with story around different places and ecosystems and so I I feel like as water School continues to grow I really want to keep this connection to Wetlands um and thinking about how we perceive different ecosystems especially like swamps and yeah that's pretty much it that went by so fast [Music] foreign	Ecoversities	UCEMyvDsLrx88UiQcgf_ITVw	2023-05-02	Creative Commons Attribution license

0khvMJGIuzA	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0khvMJGIuzA	MarcEdit Shelter-In-Place Webinar 6: Regular Expressions and .NET, A Primer	okay I'm gonna go through this really quickly um this is essentially catching up on something that I should have done last week so I went ahead and did the recording for the first regular expression webinar I'll do the second part focusing primarily on mark edit but I forgot during the process of doing it to record it and realize that's about halfway through so what I'm going to do is I'm going to go through the slides probably a lot faster than I did it during the session I'll go through some examples there examples in the slides but they're really just meant to be simple examples and other examples that will show on the screen the focus of this particular session was really to be more of a really quick parameter hard to do this in fact I've been kind of wanting to put this off usually when I talk about regular expression do it over the course of a day or two so this is gonna be really brief and it basically covers some topics really quickly the part two is going to be focused more on which of these expression pieces show up most often and marquette it and then probably go over some examples or we'll go over some examples real life examples and how it gets applied within the application so this is really just to get folks familiar with the language or at least parts of the language in terms of how dotnet which is what mark edit is written in provides regular expression of what the regular expression language looks like because it is different then than other expression languages it's some fine parts so the way I'm going to do this is I'm going to not take up the entire screen with slides partly because what we're going to do is I have a sample record we're going to run that inside of a testing webpage that I'm gonna recommend folks using so let's go ahead and go to the next slide so there are two particular pieces of document to particular websites that I recommend for people to use when they're working with dotnet regular expressions the first one is the language reference I already have that set up here this is the reference for quick reference the dotnet language that Microsoft provides I actually keep this file printed out it's a quick reference to the dotnet framework it's PDF I really like it because it gives me a quick overview of some of the grouping mechanisms so particularly negative look ahead and kind they do use all the time that I might want to refresh my memory on as well as some of the escapes that are present in the language but it gives you really quick helping helper file that is easy to print but somewhere so the quick reference which covers everything that we're going to talk about here in addition to some more stuff so the second one is this page here it's a redneck storm net so it's actually pretty hard to find a resource that does dotnet regular expressions and so Marquette it does do dotnet regular expressions but a lot of times I find when I start working with them then records but it's better to have a place for me to test without having to do it in real time so I'll grab a couple of test records throw them into this input thing and then use the pattern tester so that I can see how the expressions are being applied a couple of caveats I found that in the regular expression language particularly as tester the testing for end of lines doesn't work really well so if I have an expression is going to cross records or across lines like in a multi line replacement I'm gonna have to actually do that in real time this particular tool doesn't doesn't work as well for that but what it does do is it allows me to set options so Marquette its traditional options look essentially like this single line and culture invariant culture and variants an important distinction to be able to understand so within the dotnet framework all stream processing functions are culturally aware by default they default to your current language / cultural pack that's within the operating system what this does is it helps the application understand what are numbers and letters by applying a culturally invariant set of options what the tool does is it allows it to capture both letters and characters word by word characters and non word characters across languages so if I want to capture if I want to match on anything that's not a number and I want that to be true for every language I can use the cultural invariant option use a shortcut - substitution shortcut to represent not a digit and have the tool capture those not digit characters across the different language platforms rather than just for either English or a Latin to base language or something like that so that's actually pretty useful to know and so Marquette it works that way this allows you to check those options generally for a lot of stuff that I'm doing it doesn't matter so I'm gonna leave those unchecked just so that we can play around with examples some of the guys move this over here and move this over here we're just gonna go and go through the slides right so a couple things so what are regular expressions make it bigger so regular expressions will look like this maybe not like this is complicated but they basically look like a lot of symbols thrown together and then somehow they end up meeting something when the tool or some tool processes them and makes meaning out of them and that's essentially what we have regular expressions to some degree are like a language they're not like a train the language and sense that you have well they do kind of have variables but and and but but not the same way as but they are do allow you to do a lot of things that are interesting and allow you to do very fine replacements as well as do placements that have condition now let me attach to so I'm going to go through the language elements to the dotnet regular expression tool there slides have some samples we're just gonna skip those mostly we're gonna work within the regular expression tester because that's how I'd like to do it but slides will be there in case when people want to look at them later alright so the first thing we have to look at are literal characters and literal characters are basically just a basically what a character however characters written that's what it is so for example in our sample over here any of these characters that are written out these are literal characters and if I want to find them within a regular expression I just start typing and the tool will match a regular expression acts like an in string match a regular find match looking for that literal character there are some special characters and we're going to talk about those in a minute those are characters that will not process as a literal and they have to then be escaped or do something special to them in order for them to be found but by and large most characters fall under the literal category so if I wanted to look for this value here in the 2/5 245 I start typing it I'm going to go ahead and match him little characters literals are gonna match either whole words middle words they will match crosswords so type in a find all the A's that are in there that's what's different to some degree with regular expressions literal characters are also case sensitive unless they've been told not to be so this goes back to options so here I have a key sensitive so if I'm looking for the title in the 245 and I type in LA and G yes it's not going to find it because there's capital there unless I have applied an option that makes case ignore and you can set ignore case options and mark at it by default they are not set up that way marquette it does not ignore case because that's not a good idea to ignore case for the most part especially when doing replacements unless I specifically want to so Marquette it doesn't turn that on by default but again if you go back to the handy-dandy language reference and you check through the the PDF you'll find one of the construction constructs that are there is the very end here where we can actually set options that override the patterns that are found within the [Music] the default set so for example if I didn't want to check this option I could continue to apply a a apply those options through this structure by using the parentheses question mark and then whatever one of these options you want to apply so case insensitivity is going to be died so I could make this value case insensitive yeah I should be able to make that case insensitive by disabling putting the on a where was it it was [Music] question mark it gets a - to turn it off do this part very often anyways I'd have to read it but it's there so you can figure out look at the examples um so you can set those values in the case sensitivity all right back to this year but case sensitivity is is applied within mark edit by default so if you're searching for literals and you wanted to find words like language and you learned it to be upper or lower case and you actually wanted to target one specific value this is where we get into you'll see in a minute using grouping constructs to set ranges of characters that are allowed so special characters so these are characters that have special meaning so I'm showing you two here these brackets brackets are special characters they tell the regular expression language that you're looking for either a range or group of ranges or you're not looking for a specific character within that range and that means that they have to be looked at differently so if I was looking for a character that is a special character I have to purchase in a special way so you'll see dollar sign a dollar sign is in the characters that special so that's problematic to some degree in the pneumonic language that's that mark that it uses it's a special character so I can't just do dollar sign a and find all of the sub feel days because the the dollar sign represents a special character so in order to find those we have to escape them we have to tell the operating tell the regular expression that we actually mean for this to be a dollar sign and in that case we have to use another special character so this character here this slash is a character that's used to represent either a substitution that's designed a kind of a shortcut to stand in for a range of characters or special character or it's used to escape character to make a special character a special a literal so in this case I put that slash in front and then a dollar sign and I've told the regular expression that I am escaping this character so I want to treat the dollar sign as a dollar sign not as it's special character equivalent but what is the dollar sign special character well the dollar sign special character equivalent has lots of meanings but particularly within the regular expression language it has especially in the the search part of it a dollar sign tends to stand in most often for end of a line so where the newline characters show up so in mark edit if I was to put a dollar sign somewhere you would see the last there's at the end of the line unfortunately within this testing environment doesn't work that way but in mark at it if I was looking say for example any fields that ended in a three I could write the expression looking something like this and it would find all of the fields that ended in a three so that's how these special characters work so again just explaining how special characters bla bla bla bla so there are some non principal characters per characters that no matter they just they can't be printed and so as an expression and so they have characters to stand in for them literals to stand in for them so tab a slash backspace t stands in for a tab character by enlarge there should never be tab characters inside of a Marc record Marc edit will remove those automatically during the transformation stage but if you have a face an application that puts them in or you have a tool that that has embedded them into the application mnemonic format you can use a slash T to represent those characters and replace them and get rid of them slash are slash in stand for carriage return line feed depending on the operating system you're working with the end of line character is going to be a combination of those two or it's going to be individual characters so and control that market uses to edit text on Windows the character that will end a line is going to be a character tournament animal line a normal line feed windows uses what looks like the old typewriters format on Mac system Mac O's system the control that mark edit uses uses a caret return at the end of the line so there is no new line feed there's just a carriage return at the end of the line and on a Linux system the character at the end of the control of marquetta uses is a new line and so if you're doing a regular expression that goes between lines and you use the replace function in the multi-line tool you may be needing to write an expression that looks for the presence or accommodates different types of line endings and so though we'll show you how I'll show you how that works a little bit further down [Music] all right um period is a special character it's regular and the regular expressions it doesn't stand for a period a period matches any character so I want to catch something OC period LLC that period stands for anything so it's gonna match OC OLC OC ALC so that period is stands for is a special character we have character classes that was what I shared a minute ago and that's where we can create groups of characters so anything inside the brackets is considered characters that is looking for so we can use character classes so we could say OC I'll see so matches on both upper and lower case o in the middle we can do something more generic or maybe we're looking for a date 2020 year 2010 through 2019 and the tool uses what's inside the brackets if there's a hyphen in there it treats it as a range so in this case it's looking for anything between 0 and 9 if I wanted just 0 and 9 then I could do that so the if I want a through Z that's gonna be everything lowercase A through Z a through Z a through Z lower case and upper case so that - stands in for a range inside of the bracketed characters that's what it shows there we can also look for not matches so let's say I wanted to find everything but not 2019 I can use the caret which inside the bracket stands for does not match when outside the bracket means starts of line startup a line so it does not match nine so now it's gonna look for anything that's 2000 0 through 18 but it won't match 2019 maybe I want to match everything that does not match 0 through 8 so that's gonna just match 2019 so that negating match can match either within a range or within a set of individual characters that are put inside of the brackets but that negation stands for everything inside of the space inside the brackets are special so where we have special characters like the dollar sign and those those characters aren't special inside of the brackets within the brackets there are only specific characters that are special and that's going to be the carrot because it has special meaning the dash because it has special meaning the closing and open brackets because those have special meaning as well as the backslash because again in order to find a carrot I have to be able to use a backslash to negate the special character nough sub that character so if I wanted to find a dollar sign I can find a dollar sign just by using the brackets because it'll treat it as a literal within the brackets I'm just talked about that all right shorthand you'll see a lot of shorthand in the expressions that I write on the list it's because I like to use them because they are culturally invariant I talked about cultural variants earlier so if I'm looking for numbers and I'm looking for any digit /g so now it's gonna find any digit by default the tool by default regular expression languages in dotnet default to whatever your your language is that you're using in your system so if the default language was Arabic that /d would shorthand to Arabic digits if you were using English like I have been /t corresponds to the English Latin digits if I want it to be culturally invariant and I don't care whether their digits in one language or another I use the culturally invariant option and then /d stands in for any digit so that's why Mark edit approaches regular expressions as being culturally invariant so that way these shorthand character classes can be used to expand beyond the language that's being used on your local machine partly because we use so many we do so much metadata work that's language spans multiple languages but these are also really useful so slash D stands for any digit slash W stands for any word or word character slash s for any white space there are also the inverse slash capital D for any non word non digit slash W for any non word character slash s for any non space character these are really handy say for example if you needed to put a period at the end of a line that doesn't have one but you can look specifically for characters like this say I was looking for a line I could say let's say I was looking at a particular field so I'm going to say I wanted to put a period on the end of the 600 field and this won't find it but just so I can show you the expression I could do 604 to cover my first part dot star and then what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna do slash W because I'm gonna say any non word character at the end of the line and so this doesn't match it because end of line characters are kind of wonky within this example but what this regular expression does it says okay match this first part so I know I'm just looking at the 600 field capture everything else in the line until we get to the last character in the line and only match if that character is a non-word so in this case it would only match if the line ended in a period so it shouldn't match that one's not he do so that would hold a match if it ends in a word so in this case if I wanted to find the the lines that didn't have a period in them that would find what I'm looking for I could also use the negate any line any line that does not have a non-word character at the end so different ways to write the same expression using different approaches so repetition so essentially we're starting to talk about greediness so asterisks basically are zero to nome at zero matches too many matches pluses are one too many matches a question mark is a one zero to one match so we have different ways to to basically match lots of data so let's say we wanted to match on the 490 and then we wanted to catch all of the data so that takes the entire line some of the data actually will go ahead it oh let's do the different ways of this one so equals 490 let's say we're looking at a space we're gonna say space zero or multiple time so it matches the same thing if we use a plus it's one too many matches if we use a question mark you see it takes one offs it's only a zero or one match so we have different approaches to greediness and where this gets really useful and really important is when we're finding matches say within subfields so let's say we only want to catch the subfield data that's right here well or actually I'm right here we only want what's in the subfield a well it's actually pretty difficult to do that some respects because if we do for 90.4 so we capture everything up to the indicator and then we say we want to catch subfield a and then we take everything in the dust are well really what we've done because the way regular expressions work is it's going to keep fulfilling the part of the equation until it can't well because I've got dot star here it's gonna take all of it there is no stopping at the dollar sign V and if we look at the results in the table here that show how things are broken down we see that the in the expression here dollar sign one which is represented the first group we get the first part of the match dollar sign two takes the rest of the field and dollar sign three is empty because this doesn't match anything this is where we have to start thinking about greediness and how we put boundaries on the searches so in this case let's say I did want to stop at the next sub field what I actually am asking is I want to match everything until it gets to a dollar sign and so I'm actually gonna put stops on so I'm gonna say as long as it doesn't match the dollar sign then go ahead and match and now what I've done is I've created a stopping point so the tool now knows that when it reaches the next dollar sign that's where it needs to stop and so now we do have value that's matched here so we end up creating these kind of we have to think about how we would approach searching for content and when we decide to either be lazy or greedy or have what we call eager matches how the application how the regular expression language is going to fulfill that response when we use things like pluses and asterisks you tell the regular expression that you want to be especially greedy in terms of how you're matching content and then the regular expression we'll use what's called eagerness which is essentially it's going to keep matching until it runs until it finishes and so it's not going to work the way that you might think that it does and that's just something that you have to kind of sort through with experience so repetition and repetition repetition anchors I had mentioned acres they're hard to expand they're hard to do here essentially the ass the little carrot stands for the beginning of a string dollar Stein stands for the end of the string there are substitutions for that those anchors the slash uppercase a uppercase Z are shorthand character classes that's do the same thing a lot of people would wonder why would you use two characters to represent the same thing as one character the reason I do it is for readability because the carrot and the dollar sign can be used for so many different things within a regular expression in fact if we look right here I've already used them inside of a group of character classes for something else it actually becomes harder to read the expression sometimes using the carrot and the dollar sign because they show up often in lots of different contexts and so the slash the backslash dollar so the backslash a and the backslash Z even though they are representing even though they're two characters compared to one when you see those at the beginning and the end of statements they stand in and stand out in a way that the the carrot and the dollar sign don't word boundaries basically they decide where a match would end so a match has to happen within word boundaries you can set a match to happen either at the start of a word or an end of a word I'm gonna have some examples and marquette it on how that works but there's some examples here on the slides alteration I think of these as they're not true or statements but they work for all intensive purposes for what we care about they they are essentially like or statements and what this does this allows us to match on multiple things so let's say in the O for one I was looking to match on French we make a couple of these so let's say here we've created multiple o for ones and we want to match on French and English and then I'm gonna say and I'm not sure that's the actual real I'm gonna take that in so let's say I only wanted to match on and then I'm going this one I'm gonna misspelled that one so that way we can do some different things all right so let's say we wanted to match on any Oh for one that included French English German so I can use alteration to match on those values so we can say equals o for one and I'm gonna talk to you about what these little squiggly lines and forming a slash dollar sign a and then what I'm going to do is I want to match on either three D and G so now whoops now what I've done is I've created an alteration so essentially an or where it's gonna match either on one of these three values and provide me now with the opportunity to meet them so this is actually one of those things that's interesting so the tool can do what we call eager matching so decide on when to to match based on until the criteria gets met so for example let's say I and something like free free the tool would match on on the first one but not the second because the B the value has been met here so it's not going to match on the second one let's say we wanted to include the fr a again we can include character classes to within our alteration so that we can match on multiple values so we get to do stuff like that it allows us to do this now this is actually an interesting example because what this does is this lets us see in the table how the tool matches so in my case here because these are all in the same spot these all stand in and the same group on the table so if I was going to do a replacement dollar sign three would stand in for the group that's been matched but let's say I wanted I had to include these in the dollar sign a so I wanted to do something like this because I can do seven matches inside of my tools so I still match the same thing but if I look at my table my table starts to probably look a little bit different see here one two so one two three I guess it doesn't look any different I'm going to show you some so that do look different here shortly because I'm going to need to do it for regular expressions so anyways alternation we're gonna do it for a named group because the name groups are actually really useful for doing things like matching on things like multiple matches where maybe we needed to like maybe we're gonna do something different depending on if a matches French or if it matches English room register blah blah blah eagerness talked about that laziness okay repetition so you'll see that when I'm writing these expressions I'm doing things like oh for one and then I'm saying period any character and four and what that does that matches the first the next four characters after the end of the one one two three four and it's limited it to four the reason I do that it's a lot of times when I'm doing a regular expression I know that Marquette it's a pneumonic format has two characters two spaces following the field number and then two indicators and if I don't care about the indicator values I'm going to say take the field number and then take all of the data that follows it and so I'm using for to limit the number of any characters I'm capturing after that the regular expression language allows you to say at least one match to four matches or one match to infinity or up to four matches zero to four matches so you can set limits in terms of how the the expression matches and you can see the different ones here how you limit those repetitions we're going to talk about back references somewhere else because they tomorrow in the next session because I'd like to be able to show them with real data named groups named groups is actually useful there are a couple different ways to name a group within the dotnet language and I'm going to show you why you would do it so let's say you wanted to actually change indicator values so in that case let's say we're doing equal 0 for 1 and we're going to capture the two spaces and then we're gonna take the first indicator the second indicator and then everything to follow so it's matching the entire field if we look at the table of how these are broken up we see a dollar sign one dollar sign two dollar sign three dollar sign form what do I mean when I say dollar signs when you're using replacements and you're putting the regular expression data back each one of these dollar signs groups stands in for one of these captured groove elements so if I type in dollar sign one that tells mark at it that the replacement so this is the string it matched the replacement that gets written back down is just equal zero for one and the two spaces so each one of these groups stands in for something so let's say I wanted to change the first indicator to two so I type in dollar sign one to take everything captured in the first group by typing - and then I type in dollar sign three and four so you would think that what I'm going to see in the replacement is equal so for one two spaces a two and then the second indicator and then everything that follows what we actually see in the replacement as we see dollar sign twelve the indicator and then those values and that's because what's happening is inside of the regular expression after a dollar sign in the replacement structure if it sees a number it believes that that number is a group and it's going to treat the entire number as a group so it doesn't see dollar sign one it sees dollar sign twelve so it's looking for the twelfth group in the match there is not there are not twelve groups in this match so it blinks it treats it as a literal dollar sign twelve because there aren't a twelfth group so if I want to actually print out this first group I have to do two things I either have to treat it as what I consider like an associative array or I have to name the group this is the way you would do that you put these weekly brackets around the the one and now it treats it almost like an associative array so now dollar sign one gets treated as Group one and you can see in the replacement that we get to see the value gets replaced the other option is to name the group and so you can name the group matching so I'm going to go ahead and name the group so we can name the group and now the the way that the table looks is very different nylon I like to have to point this out because now dollars the Group one group two group three have shifted because I have a name the group so this first group that's named no longer counts within the group numbers you can't match it that way anymore so Group one now is indicator one group two is now indicator two and Group three is now the rest of the field and the name group Group one is the beginning of the field so in order to represent data at the beginning in the field I have to use the named group and then I have to remember that all of my group numbers now have shifted and so now group two is going to be the second indicator and Group three is going to be the rest of the field and when I look at the replacement here you see that it's put in appropriately okay that's the end of my my thing so named her last thing I want to talk about name groups are show up all over inside of the mark edit regular expression language although often you will see most expressions using the structure that uses the where I use more of the associated structure where we use one something more like that where we use the the squirrely brackets and then the number of the group for most of the expressions that show up in there why else would you name a group well sometimes you want to name a group if you're gonna have some sub expressions so I had mentioned say you wanted your expression to be something like this oh four one four and then we have a first group that opens stuff up so dollar sign a and then we have a second group that maybe is Fe REE or fr a gr so those all potentially match in different contexts but what I have a difficult time knowing though is which group is showing up in the replacement table so if we look at the replacement table we see that each one of those groups becomes a group and so the way to solve that problem is to name your element so let's say I wanted this to be I was going to work within the subfield a so that I want the top-level LMX I'm going to replace the values no matter what I find in this space I could name that group and now depending on how things match I could capture any of the data but there that's there that follows so I want to look more like that so now Group one stands in for every one of those matches instead of having two alliterate through the different groups that are there so that's really handy when thinking about doing kind of those those or alliterative style matches so that's stuff I'm going to talk about like I said a little bit more compressed than the the one I did last week obviously missing questions unfortunately sorry about not recording it slides are in the the slides will be on SlideShare like normal reference from the description for the next session the part two the approach that I'm taking is that part two will be all about doing regular expressions inside of marquette it particularly taking the broad parts of the regular expression language and condensing it down to the handful of elements that are going to show up in probably 90% of the regular expressions that you use and then talking about how regular expressions get applied within mark edit because in Marquette it it's all about scope every one of the global editing functions when turning regular expressions on scopes the amount of data that you're able to see based on function that you're using and so depending on how much data you need to see would depend would decide which global editing function you're going to use or would be appropriate for the the the change that you're trying to make and so we'll talk about scopes in regular expressions scopes in terms of the data that's made accessible to a regular expression we'll look at some examples I pulled some questions that I've gotten so some real examples that we'll go through and then take questions I had made the offer and folks if you have some examples that you're working on that you'd like to have either representative example or the example that you're working on done during the session God and send them to me evolve well if I if they look like they'd be appropriate for the larger group or they show a good example of concept we'll go ahead and you do use a during session but that's kind of the approach that I'm going to take for the second part of this particular piece like I said this is very quick usually it's do this over the course of a lot longer period and with lots of examples and having people write their own I would recommend you really want to work with the dotnet regular expression language that you spend some time in the regular expression quick reference reading the the documentation that's here because it'll help walk you through how the regular expressions get applied and then get familiar with the regular expression tester here I find that it's a very good way to just copy record and start searching for information within it because you get to see right away how the data is being matched and when the data doesn't get matched you get that feedback right away so that you can start understanding a little bit better how the expression language is working and if things work differently here than in market it and it's not particularly newline related you can ask I can help you understand what are the options that are being applied within Mark edit that need to be set on this tool side too to completely replicate the functionality that's what I got so if this is of interest hopefully I will see some folks on on Friday and some good examples we can walk through	tpreese	UC7OLudoObYgiN_EmyDtZ_DQ	2020-04-27	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)	en	metadata	en	6,679	35,207
hhQvPAzN-Y8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhQvPAzN-Y8	Keynote: Diversity And Inclusion - Not Just A Gender Gap - Vandana Verma	thank you so much of doula good afternoon drink hope you had a good lunch yes great and we all are not sleepy great thanks for stopping today we are going to talk about diversity and inclusion which is not a gender gap whenever I've heard that like diversity and inclusion everyone thinks about gender diversity everyone says it's just a tiny gender diversity so here I am talking about gender diversity apart from that there are many more other forms are there but if it's not a gender issue is it a hiring problem because we talked a lot about skill shortage in cybersecurity or in general IT is it about age problem because we have lot of Millennials in cybersecurity or in general and IT is it about ethnicity problem or it's just about filling a quota lot of people I have heard that we have some wrecks open and we only want to hire diversity diverse candidates who are women trust me it's no good as a women I don't like hearing that so if it's not all of that what is it it's actually not more there are many aspects to it there are in diversity is actually good for us when I say diversity is not just about men and women what it is it's actually in creating an inclusive culture for all of us for all the people who are there in the room if you look around there are people from different continents from different geographies different age groups different backgrounds I believe not all of us are from the application security background as Abdullah said that I had a training yesterday with over 35 people both men and women so in that training itself we had people from shock background which a security operation center we had people from IOT background they wanted to know more about application security developers college students talk about any any different background and I saw that people were there so before I had before I actually deep dive into my talk I want to introduce myself I am gonna professionally or from my day job I work with IBM India software labs as a security architect wherein I heavily worked work on dev psych ops and cloud security apart from that I am very passionate about giving back to the community because I have received a lot the states that I have got it's because of the work that I've done for the community or the work that actually I have learned from the community about my journey after college I got into my first job which was not a security job it was just a plain IT job I was working as a developer after a year I was actually given a project to work in security it was kind of an accidental I was actually no we're targeting security but that's when I realized that this is the place where I want to be in from the shock from the suck analyst to shock expert and SME in shock moving to application security understanding how application security works how the architecture is moving on to cloud security being a manager of a big team handling the whole security from India now I'm a security architect for for my organization working on dev psych ops and cloud security about my community journey my journey never complete without the community I started off with null and awash in ovas Bangalore null Bangalore and that's where I actually stepped into first into the community from there I was introduced to enforcer girls which I revived and now it's going on smooth apart from that I am also part of a wash Bangalore now leading ovis bangalore co-lead for ovis bangalore apart from that I'm also part of OS women and AB sec through which we do a lot of different initiatives like we give free trainings as I said that we give a free training yesterday in DC and we are targeting that we will be giving the similar kind of sessions and maybe more on on cloud security we def say cops or can be any anything else but it's going to be free of charge for anyone to attend apart from that I give talks and talks and trainings at multiple OS conferences and I was an assistant trainer at blackhat this year which was a big opportunity for me apart from that I was I was speaker at Def Con apps like village I also trained at Dianna Initiative apart from that I got an opportunity to be at besides LV where in one of the trainer had issues and his flight got delayed and he wanted me to support his training so it was a big opportunity for me and it was like an amazing journey and at the hiker summer camp and on cherry or cherry on top of a cake that I got to receive an award from women cyber Jitsu apart from this I we also run a conference called OSC sides so I am one of the co-organizers for Awasthi side and besides Delhi now moving back to the topic when we say like we started off by talking about inclusion diversity all different things but how about knowing about different forms differently abled differently abled people the name itself says people with different abilities people who actually have power to innovate and bring back so much to the community to the organization's ethnicity diverse ethnicity education people from different educational backgrounds culture as I said we can see people from different cultural backgrounds in the room as we are at the absent conference age neurodiversity now these are just some of the forms that I've listed here but there are many many forms so while I was working on this topic I have been trying to be very much involved in diversity and inclusion but while I was preparing for this talk I went through so many articles and I got to know that the information that we have is just very limited and there are so many aspects to it there are so many things that we can work on then not just men and women or just gender diversity being a being of women I am saying that but I have actually realized while I was working on all these initiatives that we have to do lot of work and I am NOT including gender gap any which ways we have to work on all of it together and when we say it cybersecurity it's again a big tent where and we have diversity talk about shock we have people working on incidents they are monitoring the traffic we have IT admins network admins and so many other people who are working closely together so that the organizations can be secure likewise when we talk about applications we have SDLC agile we have dev psych ops all of it there are multiple people working together development team security team operations team think about if all of them are not working together what will happen the application will go down the hatch that we have been hearing in the past few years those are the major hacks of the few actually 10 20 years so we need to make sure we include it we include all these forms when we say diversity and inclusion not just gender diversity hope everyone knows this man right Stephen Hawking I am a big fan of his work think about diversity he's one of the greatest example of what diversity can give back to the community can give back to the society he's one of the genius of his times he has given so much so much to us but ten disability or Ken something else stopped him no everybody knows it at least in the room I can assume that everybody knows him right perfect so this is one of the research from Howard which is a pre-employment research company they try and do research around that who should be hired who have been hired what's the diversity gap what's the gap in the industry all of it so if you look at the first graph look look at the beginning we had only males and then suddenly we included gender diversity to it we had a good decision-making power but after that we included age to it then we included age gender and geographic diversity to it what happened because the best of results this is not me speaking I have got the stats from the from Howard and you can actually look up at the internet they have they have been doing research from quite some time now and we can see that if we have people from diverse backgrounds from different cultures from different geographies it makes a whole lot of difference and it makes a different difference in giving your opinions as well thinking about a problem resolving that problem it makes a huge huge difference now being of women who supports lot of diverse issues diversity issues and I'm a big champion of diversity specifically gender diversity but trust me it's the time to change the dialogue it's the time to change the narrative by just focusing on women in or by just focusing of saying that women and women insecurity women and there's that we're actually dividing the depleted workforce more this is not we have to do when we say diversity and inclusion we have to include other forms of diversity as well we have to include people who actually do not know anything about cybersecurity or even IP or who actually want to come forward and say I want to be part but I'm not I don't know where I stand can you help me so that's where we actually need to help and there are a lot of action items that we have to take from this and before I actually move ahead of the slides I have to say that this talk is based on my views and understanding of the topic this nowhere relates to my employer or anyone else and I really don't want to impose my views on anyone but I want to share my experience and view views that I have got while working on this particular area if you have any opinions any information any feedback we can have a discussion I would really love to work with all of you and help you in getting the diverse culture more I would really be like to involve more and we have lot of initiatives going we would like to be involved and be involved with all of you this is I love so when we say gender diversity or gendered I our diversity is never about bringing up gender diverse issues and bringing down men I never believed that it never makes sense to me because I have got the best of mentors from the community and they're mostly men and women and people from different age groups so I would never ever say bring down men and bring up women I am against that narrative altogether or I am against that point or a dialogue the main thing that we have to work on is the preconceived notions like I've been hearing from so somebody said that girls can only play with the dolls and boys can only play with robots dude there are so many amazing women who are doing exceptional in robotics one observer I was raised there's one women I came across fearfully she's from Google Crouch ISM doing actually exceptionally well with robotics and same goes with men I know friends who are amazing chef I cannot cook that well that they're so wonderful they're working for one of the top class hotels think about that and it's never about gender there are few things which we actually need to work upon based on the cultural issues but still there is more to it now when we say diversity it's never to take out someone or existing groups but bringing in more people but bringing more people and more diversity into it my by bringing more culture to it that's where we actually work on that's when we actually need to head on if we don't care about that we're gonna be in big big trouble I'll give you an example of my friend when we were working on hiring new people and our team it's one of the case from my old organizations and my old experiences so this person was from a commerce background totally unrelated to cybersecurity right commerce and cybersecurity it's like two different zones who thinks a commerce person can be a good cybersecurity person it's just an assumption right so but when we looked into his profile and we started chatting with him we got to know that he's a really good security researcher and a bug bounty hunter lot of holes Hall of Fame's our claim to fame on his name and trust me we actually hired him we did not think about or we did not gave a second thought he was in our team but what happens next he actually had a very hard time switching jobs his application used to get rejected in the first few screenings itself like he filed a job he filled his CV he shared his CDs with a lot of people but guess what people were not considering it why because he's from a he's from a commerce background but not from the cybersecurity but right now as of today he's actually heading he's one of the directors for one of the very in renowned MNCs it makes a huge difference people actually looked into his capabilities and now where he is so I'm trying to give you all these examples because I'm trying to give you the perspective from different angles which is like for this case it's about educational background so when this another argument that I've been hearing we are a merit-based system we're going to be hiring only people who are in the industry for so many years these many years do have done this have done that especially I'll give you an example people say that I have a deaf psych ops expert I need a tech devstack ops expert in my team since when we started talking about deaf say coughs like four five years back and deaf sick DevOps is a no was not actually in existence before 2007 or eight like nobody used to talk about that everybody was working in silos and nobody was actually considering talking about all that now you say that I need people with experience of ten years in deaf say coughs how can you get it we never started talking about it when you never started talking about it how can you get the people in the room with that experience trust me it's very funny so we need to ensure that first we are giving the opportunities to the people then we can actually judge whether this they are deserved they are deserving candidates or not another example that I would like to highlight it's my personal example wherein I saw that one of the team around me had five opportunities or five job or job requisitions open they said we're going to be giving it away like we want to hire people what happens next there were 30 job applications or thirties resumes submitted for that particular for that but for those particular job roles and guess what all those 30 vacations from the similar circle similar set of people from the similar organization what happens next the similar people will be hired we know them we're going to be hiring them that's about it but trust me it's going to be hampering in hampering big time in a long run I have a brick preacher or a big supporter of merit-based system but when we say merit-based system we need to make sure that we have a room for people to grow if we can't give room for people to grow we can never say that we are going to be only merit-based system this implies only when when you actually have trust in yourself and you can know you know that you're going to be supporting all those people training on the job when you have a student can you expect him to do cyber security job on the very first day never ever I can never expect now I believe that because of bug bounties all the vulnerabilities lot of buzz around cyber security you might see people know about security or the college students might know about cyber security but from the first day I never knew well I was growing up I never knew cyber security was ever a career Here I am standing with a good experience in cyber security you can't say that I won't only go to be hiring based on the merit you have to give opportunities my favorite time so I'm going to be talking about the land that I come from India India has various diverse cultures not just cultures religions food habits climates think about anything it's diverse every hundred to two hundred kilometres food habits change the way people dress up change languages change like or 30 that I know that there are languages not just English in these so many other languages so now let's talk about a little bit more about when we say diverse culture you might have heard about luck doc or Kerala ISO last when I was here last last month when I was here at the airport San Francisco Airport I saw a big holding of Kerala saying welcome to India welcome to Kerala truly India all of that so Ladakh is is in the northern parts of India which is a cold desert as it's part of the Himalayan region and it's beautiful paradise income on the contrary Kerala it has the it's in the south and south western part of India it has ocean on one side and mountains on the other side it's beautiful with the tropical climate now if you see that when you go to East the climate changes likewise when you go to West it changes all together the same way Mumbai and Bangalore are two metropolitan cities where and Mumbai is famous for its staple food water power and Bangalore is famous for its dosa which is like salty pancakes and when I was discussing about this talk somebody said burrito like nice name I'm gonna use that so and people cherish it when they move from one state to another they try and get accustom with the different staple foods and try and enjoy it these diversities actually created a diverse culture or actually has led to the evolution to a different culture the way people dress up the way people eat the way people think in general everything there are lot of initiatives that are happening from giving rights to the transgenders giving opportunities to the third gender apart from that first day of period I think it's gonna be it's gonna be everywhere or I've heard that it's globally the lot of organizations are giving this particularly there there are who joins in Mumbai I know that that's been run by mute people the day I was there trust me it was super amazing they cannot speak your language our language birth they can help you in the best way possible the hospitality was wonderful that's one of the diverse culture examples we still have a long way to go but I just wanted to share something about the diversity and the country that I come from now about my experiences and learnings I have my fair share of experiences both good and bad while I was working on the interest in the industry and an IT or cybersecurity my first step in the community the day I was like it's just at the random meet a random training I was introduced to the null meats and Hawass meats somebody told me that I'm another chapter leader for OS Bangalore you should come to the meats I said wow that there is some group that exists and talk about the same language that I speak wonderful I should go what happens next I go the very next month because it's a not monthly meet so the very next month I go there and in the room of 20 people and the only women nobody intimidated me nobody said a word but I did not go to the next couple of meets why because I was feeling the odd one out nobody made me feel but I was like I cannot go back I am the only one what will they think I don't know anything am i a stupid person I don't know what to do but after a couple of months I pulled myself up got the courage and thought I'm gonna nail it I'm gonna be there because if I am not there I'm never gonna learn I went there got introduced to a lot of people got to know about in for scigirls' revived it and started talking with other people and understanding that what's the issue they're facing a lot of lot of people said that they it's the same experience they had and it's not just men and women it was with students it was with people who had experience of like 15 years 20 years they were very reluctant they were saying this is the space for the beginners or for the Millennials or for the people who are super glamorous it did not sound right to me so as a leader I try to take it up with other leaders and and I try and create a space wherein we all are feeling safe we all are feeling that we have a sense of belonging and that's how we try and cherish the diversity in the group and every month I can see that there are close to hundred people that come to the meet ranging from different backgrounds different cultures different cities anywhere what I've seen that if any of the person even from the earth over asked different chapters we have people from different chapters from Houston chapter from there was one more chapter I don't remember but yes we had a lot of people from different chapters San Francisco chapter so all of us are collaborating that's that's diversity that's one form of diversity trust me this kills them all this kills the most I had everyone has certain biases which people talk about some people don't talk about now Here I am talking about my biases while I was carrying I was worrying about my career my job and so many other things I had a lot of questions creeping in my mind whether I'll come back to work or not whether I'll be Bernie or or after six months I'll be relevant to the industry or not all those questions instead of enjoying my maternity these questions actually kills a lot the preconceived notion that we have and it's not just me one of my friend who wanted to go for sabbatical because he wanted to take time off and wanting to explore the Himalayans region he just wanted to go away for some time what happens in the rat race people tend to forget what we want what we want to do what we want in our life so when we talk about preconceived notions we tend to forget that we have different people who talk about it and who don't talk about it we just need to help them out they just need a listening ear and that's why we community is your to help them give them a pathway so as a stock analyst as I said that my first job was as a stock analyst and I was asked to work in nightshifts so there are again it's more of a preconceived notion we're in a women might not want to work in night shifts and trust me there are a lot of women who who don't want to work in night shifts but I was asked to work in night shifts because the client that I was working with all the leadership was in us and I have to be there as an SME to support them to make sure that everything is up and running I had no issues I was learning a lot I had I might have not learned a lot when I used to be in the nurse and like I might have been in the morning shift but in the night shift while working with them very closely how servers work how vulnerability assessment work all of that I learned a lot and by this in my organization I paved a path for other women's to be part of the sock team and they could also be in the night shift which was very beneficial for me now when I say making progress we are actually making progress all the people in the room are actually here to listen to the stock in itself says that yes we want to talk about diversity and inclusion and we want to be part of it in some way if not gender diversity but we still have a long way to go and we have a lot of good good items in our bucket which we have done which we have achieved see at the global apse a conference itself we have people from different age groups different ethnicity I have been talking with people from different groups so I can see yes there are right do we have people from London in the room yeah we do have do we have people from Asia and the room do we have people from America in the room yeah see we have we have people do we have any students in the room yeah we do have how about people who are just getting started with the security do we have yes we do have how about people who have like 15 years of experience amazing I'm not going to talk about age that's a very tricky thing so I'm not gonna talk about it so apart from that the most blessing ones the issues the most pressing issues beat cybersecurity or in general I think they are not at all related to technical details or technical things people like project managers people like sake analysts or even the people who are working on just the Excel sheets or report reading all those people are actually required IT admins network admins Linux admins we know that means all of them are required if we do not have people working together from different different sections we are not going to be sustaining so how is diversity useful in cybersecurity one of the thing that we all need to we need to be very cautious when we talk about that how should we move forward what people should be higher look at what you need what experience you need not the gender not the age group people with with two years of experience might be able to do a really amazing job but you're saying I need only people with CIS wispy there's that so many things you can't question people on that look at their capabilities and age is never a problem trust me I have got mentors who like 50-plus and they have shared my career in a big way I have had such good experiences where and I have learned from their experiences where it I don't not had to bang my head against a problem well in they have experienced that and they could help me out apart from that as I said cybersecurity skill gap we have one hundred thousand job open I make we have so many wrecks open we have skill shortage we have there's that but can you fill that by just saying it I don't think so we need people to fill those positions how do you get those positions fill how do you get to the those people you need to support them you need to actually embrace where and people are saying that I want to be part of it help me out right right perfect apart from that group thing in is the one that actually kills I'll give you an example supposedly there are four people who who have passed out from the same College same professors same degree everything is just saying fortunately they get higher for the similar same company XYZ what's gonna happen if they face any problem they're gonna be thinking almost similar that's called group thinking we need to make sure that we avoid that crap thinking even to a problem they will be approaching the frame way the similar thoughts will come okay we're going to be thinking this way we're going to be doing that we're gonna be doing this it's gonna be the same I have experienced it with my peers with the people whom I have actually done my bachelor degree we all think the like even sometimes we just need to do not need to speak we just were talking eyes even now with my team sometimes we just don't utter a word if there is a outbreak especially during the wanna cry outbreak we looked at each other what we need to do and those I spoke because we know that we all are working in the same thing day in and day out and most of the time what happens with us we spend less time at home but more in office right so office peers are the best pals that we have so that's how you make a good bonding with them however you need people who can actually challenge the status question who can say okay you have a perspective but I have a perspective too and sometimes it can be really beneficial to where and there are four people who are saying one thing but there is another person who might have something creative to say and the problem can be solved in a better way or can actually be addressed in a very unique way apart from that diversity also helps in creative thinking not just creative thinking it also gives you a different perspective viewpoint or vintage points and with there are those vintage points we can actually look at multiple perspective we do not need to look at all the problems with a single lens we need multiple perspective we need multiple opinions to address all the issues not just cybersecurity not just diversity but any issue that you can think of think about the personal problems that we have if you do not talk talk about that with someone it is going to be I have this and I cannot overcome by talking with some people maybe your parents maybe the people whom you know your friends it's going to be resolved right and problems these should be resolved rather it can be a big problem apart from that we actually tend to get creative ideas innovative ideas I have seen that if you have multiple people from different regions like Africa Asia or America like all of the people working together in a single room we might have a beautiful product coming out of the room beautiful inputs coming out of the room and last but not the least diversity cultivates diversity if I can so this means that if I can do you can do two and if you have people from diverse group in a room the groom trust me will be full of ideas I have a lot of ideas but if I don't know with whom to share it will never be sustaining and when we talk about all the Peyton's innovations how does that happen somebody has to think about it somebody has to talk about it and then share it with the rest of the world that's how we move forward so I have a son and when I preach a lot about diversity I want to make sure that my son have role models not just one it could be many he can actually look up the people who he can actually look up to the people who supports diversity and inclusion who respect other people other people ideas viewpoints so when he grows up he can think that yes there are people who support each other who knows what to do when to do and how to support other people if we start looking down at the people trust me this is not what I really want and the similar way if we have cybersecurity we need people who respect each other who actually care for the other person who give them the room to the other person to grow so here we are how do we move forward as an organization we need to make sure we embrace that I were starts that should be the first and foremost opportunity and it's not just gonna be a beneficial for the organization it's not gonna be beneficial for the diverse candidates and trust me it's never a charity never ever a charity it's going to be always beneficial for our organization for our for our maybe growth monetary benefits because everyone talks about monetary benefits diversity bring money with monetary benefits there are stats around it unconscious bias we have to make sure that we don't have preconceived notions for certain groups or people that I'm not going to be hiring from this state I'm not gonna be hiring from this state I'm not gonna be hiring from this country I'm not going to be hiring from this particular age group this is never going to work out we need to make sure we have an inclusive culture and apart from that we are not enforcing our own beliefs on the people we have around they have their own viewpoint listen to it might be they have something better say might be there there's something nicest there I have got amazing outputs from the room I have been talking with a lot of people from past couple of days and even on them I talked I have received a lot of amazing output as an employee the other employees we work for certain organization sometimes we we all work for ourselves right there are people who are senior CEOs who are the start of startup CEOs then the company the people who run the company and what do we need to do when we hire people they will have certain backgrounds we need to actually open up our mind we need to embrace them we need to welcome them with an open mind they might not be from the same background they might not be from the similar culture they might not be with the same experience when that person isn't the team if we help him if we can give him a warm hug or if we give him a warm path trust me that person is going to be helping you out respecting you way too much apart from that we all have made mistakes and they all will now when a new person joins in can we just embrace him and say okay if you have made a mistake it's completely okay it's completely fine we will learn from our mistakes and we are there to help you out if you make a mistake or if you are if you have any doubts just let us know we will be there to help you out apart from that the example that I gave about hiring from the same similar set of people if you have a group of people you know and you've been working around or if you know it from the community or from anywhere else I'm not saying it's bad it's good knowing their people and getting them in the room it's good but how about getting to know more people you might make new friends you might get better ideas you might create your own another company right so making sure that we actually help people outside of our circle talk to them and the conferences people come to learn Network trust me the first day that I entered into the meetups people say do networking do networking without networking you're never going to be survive surviving in information security or security in general that's the best way to be be part and even because of the community I'm here or the work that I got to do people actually gave me an opportunity so that I can I can contribute back to the society or the community apart from that how about going to the different security groups there are multiple groups would say I am working on IT security I am working on cloud security I'm working on dev psych ops I am working on this security all are working in their own silos all are working on their own things how about bringing all of that together so in the afternoon itself I was talking with the francisco and he was saying that he has been trying to pull again pull together multiple opportunities multiple organizations together so that we all can talk the same language security it's never deaf say cops south security application security or sock security we all have to talk the same language and we all trust me even when we say different diverse the sections of security again we are embracing security we are embracing diversity in it and we are including people from diverse groups I was a soccer analyst I was nowhere into application security but people helped me out and I'm talking about application security and giving trainings that's the fun part and people are loving it yeah I hope they are but yes as a hiring manager trust me this person has the most amazing job and has the most responsibility when cyber leaders say that we do not have people who are from diverse background how do we do it we can't do anything we can't have hire these people we can't do anything we cannot move forward but trust me this person can help retain the balint diverse groups and can also look for the people who are the best suited for the organization it could be from a commerce background could be from a psychology background so I'll give you an example here now I know a friend who's a psychologist trust me psychologists and cyber security who thinks about that but he is so wonderful and OSINT which is open source intelligence because we've been talking about that lately and that person is so good in connecting the dots and who can think that and psychologists will say that I am really amazing in social engineering and Osen and I can get you what you're looking for and the most importantly sometimes you even don't know what you are who you are at the social media and you can do the mind map and give you the whole result and what people think of you think about that cyber lawyers are the criminal justice lawyers they work day in and day out with cyber criminals getting to know what the criminals mentality is and especially when we say cyber criminals are the criminals who are taking out lot of data money and they're harming the countries especially in the case of nation-state actors we need people who think out of the box who can actually map the threat intelligence who can who can profile the threat actors and there are not there's not just one group there are hundreds of security groups or hacker groups actually trying to harm all of it and hackers are actually I mean the malicious hackers hackers are good we all are hackers right right we all are hackers we are hacking our own companies and trying to secure that especially when we say apps a conference yes as an application security engineer I try and hack my own company and save it so that nobody else can hack it apart from that when we say hiring that can also be done at the conference like this and as we have diverse groups people might want to hire you and I remember there are boots out there downstairs near the Lincoln rooms that we have a lot of organizations coming not just for the promotions but they might want to hire you so you can just go and meet them up you might get a nice opportunity there a job opportunity here as a community this talk never is never ever complete without saying that because of the community I am here trust me without that I can never move ahead I could have never done what I am doing right now with the people in this in this room talk about Harold talk about Lisa I talk about Kelly Mike so many other people talk about Zoe and Tanya so there are so many people who are my role models so I've got so much and just because of the community the only thing that we have to be very careful that we greet people and be with the people with a warm heart if there is no warmness we would never be able to survive we need people who can say that yes I'm there to support you I'm not gonna be spoon feeding you but I'm gonna be there if you fall I'm gonna make sure that I am there for you anything you need just give me a call just send me a text I might not be able to answer it right away but I might be able to answer it at a later point might be a day later or whenever I have access to it apart from that from the communities what I have learned that there are so many opportunities so many scholarships score so many grants that have been given to the people we just need to reach out to people that how to get in there that's about it and there are things which are already there which people might not know if you know about it please share it with people please share it further and it's going to be in turn helping them out and they're they're going to be always thanking you I always thank my mentors that's why whenever the community work comes in I always say I'm gonna be talking about the my mentors and the people so the key takeaways this is not the lifestyle but I'm just gonna be saying that when we say versity how about realizing that rather than just hiring people from or women from the top schools how about we hiring people from diverse backgrounds as I said psychology or sent people from development background operations background to application security rather than hiring the the brightness of Millennials how about giving an opportunity to the people who have good experience or who have more like when we say age the people who are from the Armed Forces or maybe who have been in the industry for a quite long time trust me they can strive more than anyone else can they have experienced anything and everything starting from when the computers were coming in now when we have like full-fledged everything running with hundred Mbps and whatnot apart from that we need to be collaborative not just the organization's everyone need to be very collaborative there are organizations which are open like women Economic Forum who asked women a knapsack in for scigirls' Busiek Grace Hopper so many wonderful organizations are there they're trying to help it's just that we need to be ready to take help from them there's no shame in that everybody should be able to take help from and diversity is actually big is being invited to the party and inclusion is being actually asked to dance we need to make sure that we are dancing when we're talking about diversity and inclusion every time we hire a diverse candidate we always make sure we enjoy that we have some nice balloons cake something's really exciting for that person it's not just that but yeah we get it for everyone so you can actually reach me you're on Twitter I'm super active on LinkedIn or on my email address this week I wouldn't be able to answer my emails but yes Twitter Facebook Twitter and LinkedIn Facebook I am like super lazy so you wouldn't find me there about the references you might I'd be able to see them very it's very yes so but when I'll share the slides you can actually look back there are this really amazing researcher I would like to thank these amazing people but I would say now I know if I don't follow what I preach which I say diversity and inclusion so if you look at the slides all these people all of them are from the different parts of the world tanya is from Canada Ashwini is from Mumbai Anand is from Bhopal India Sandeep is from Delhi Akash is from Bangalore Domenico is from in New York and so many other place or who why I should say Nicole Becker is she's from she's a New Yorker we have Zoey we have Martin trust me I would like to thank all of these people for hearing me out what I wanted to say and I wanted to make sure that I am not saying anything wrong when I want stage I was super nervous thank you so much and thanks for bearing with me if you have any questions inputs feedbacks please feel free to reach out to me I'm gonna be around during the coffee break in the evening networking dinner tomorrow the whole day even while I go back I'm always open for discussions feel free to reach out and I'm always looking for people who were actually who are willing to help and there's no there's never less hands what people say so thank you so much look forward to meeting with some of you a lot of you [Applause]	OWASP

the market for just under 10 million dollars Christina sold this Abode in 2011 for 4.7 million dollars to a beauty executive while at one point the property was even owned by other Hollywood star ours like Liza Minnelli and Jack Haley Jr the architectural home was located at the end of a prime Enclave in the Sunset Strip area of Hollywood and surrounded by plenty of other celebrity mansions with stunning views from downtown to the ocean built back in 1960 and transformed into a contemporary Masterpiece since this Mansion offers 6 500 square feet of space and four beds and seven baths during her time living here Christina summoned interior designer Steve Herman to help her give the home a total redesign looking at photos we can see the modern crib has features like wooden ceilings a multitude of skylights and other custom details some main level highlights include grandly sized common areas like the family room with sunken conversation pit and built-in seating as well as walls of glass that Overlook the LA Basin meanwhile the master suite spans an impressive 1 200 square feet of space alone boasting two fireplaces a huge walk closet and a marble bath with built-in aquarium downstairs Christina's former home had a home movie theater with seats for 18 and a wet bar while outside you'll find a sun deck and both a free-form pool and 12 person Spa warmed with an outdoor fireplace this home embodies the ultimate Hollywood Hills lifestyle but it seems that Christina's current Mansion is much more family friendly alright guys so now that we've taken an in-depth look at where Christina Aguilera calls home I'm gonna bring this house tour to a close we saw her longtime Mall home the state's Mansion which is truly beautiful as well as how she's decorated some of the rooms more recently including her master suite we also checked out a much more modern Sunset Strip crib she used to live in prior to this which home was more your style for me that's easily her current property because I love the enchanting details like the Arches Gardens and not to mention the warm yet Grand Interiors be sure to let me know what you liked or didn't like about Christina's man tensions down in that comment section I personally Loved Her Style thanks for watching don't forget to follow me on Instagram and tell me which celebrity homes we should take a look at next I'll

librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org emile by sean chuck rousseau translated by barbara foxley the creed of the savvy art priest part 4. the good priest had spoken with passion he and i were overcome with emotion it seemed to me as if i were listening to the divine orpheus when he sang the earliest hymns and taught men the worship of the gods i saw any number of objections which might be raised yet i raised none for i perceived that they were more perplexing than serious and that my inclination took his part when he spoke to me according to his conscience my own seemed to confirm what he said the novelty of the sentiments you have made known to me said i strikes me all the more because of what you confess you do not know than because of what you say you believe they seem to be very like that theism or natural religion which christians profess to confound with atheism or irreligion which is their exact opposite but in the present state of my faith i should have to ascend rather than descend to accept your views and i find it difficult to remain just where you are unless i were as wise as you that i may at least be as honest i want time to take counsel with myself by your own showing the inner voice must be my guide and you have yourself told me that when it has long been silenced it cannot be recalled in a moment i take what you have said to heart and i must consider it if after i have thought things out i am as convinced as you are you will be my final teacher and i will be your disciple till death continue your teaching however you have only told me half of what i must know speak to me of revelation of the scriptures of those difficult doctrines among which i have strayed ever since i was a child incapable either of understanding or believing them unable to adopt or reject them yes my child said he embracing me i will tell you all i think i will not open my heart to you by haves but the desire you express was necessary before i could cast aside all reserve so far i have told you nothing but what i thought would be of service to you nothing but what i was quite convinced of the inquiry which remains to be made is very difficult it seems to me full of perplexity mystery and darkness i bring to it only doubt and distrust i make up my mind with trembling and i tell you my doubts rather than my convictions if your own opinions were more settled i should hesitate to show you mine but in your present condition to think like me would be gain footnote i think the worthy clergyman might say this at the present time to the general public and footnote moreover give to my words only the authority of reason i know not whether i am mistaken it is difficult in discussion to avoid assuming sometimes a dogmatic tone but remember in this respect that all my assertions are but reasons to doubt me seek truth for yourself for my own part i only promise you sincerity in my exposition you will find nothing but natural religion strange that we should need more how shall i become aware of this need what guilt can be mine so long as i serve god according to the knowledge he has given to my mind and the feelings he has put into my heart what purity of morals what dogma useful to man and worthy of its author can i derive from a positive doctrine which cannot be derived without the aid of this doctrine by the right use of my faculties show me what you can add to the duties of the natural law for the glory of god for the good of mankind and for my own welfare and what virtue you will get from the new form of religion which does not result from mine the grandest ideas of the divine nature come to us from reason only behold the spectacle of nature listen to the inner voice hath not god spoken at all to our eyes to our conscience to our reason what more can man tell us their revelations do but degrade god by investing him with passions like our own far from throwing light upon the ideas of the supreme being special doctrines seem to me to confuse these ideas far from ennobling them they degrade them to the inconceivable mysteries which surround the almighty they had observed contradictions they make man proud intolerant and cruel instead of bringing peace upon earth they bring fire and sword i ask myself what is the use of it all and i find no answer i see nothing but the crimes of men in the misery of mankind they tell me a revelation was required to teach men how god would be served as a proof of this they point to the many strange rites which men have instituted and they do not perceive that this very diversity springs from the fanciful nature of the revelations as soon as the nations took to making god speak everyone made him speak in his own fashion and made him say what he himself wanted had they listened only to what god says in the heart of man there would have been but one religion upon earth one form of worship was required just so but was this a matter of such importance as to require all the power of the godhead to establish it do not let us confuse the outward forms of religion with religion itself the service god requires is of the heart and when the heart is sincere that is ever the same it is a strange sort of conceit which fancies that god takes such an interest in the shape of the priest's vestments the form of words he utters the gestures he makes before the altar and all his genuflections oh my friend stand upright you will still be too near the earth god desires to be worshipped in spirit and in truth this duty belongs to every religion every country every individual as to the form of worship if order demands uniformity that is only a matter of discipline and needs no revelation these thoughts did not come to me to begin with carried away by the prejudices of my education and by that dangerous vanity which always strives to lift man out of his proper sphere when i could not raise my feeble thoughts up to the great being i try to bring him down to my own level i try to reduce the distance he has placed between his nature and mine i desired more immediate relations more individual instruction not content to make god in the image of man that i might be favored above my fellows i desired supernatural knowledge i required a special form of worship i wanted god to tell me what he had not told others or what others had not understood like myself considering the point i had now reached as the common center from which all believers set out on the quest for a more enlightened form of religion i merely found in natural religion the elements of all religion i beheld the multitude of diverse sects which holds sway upon earth each of which accuses the other of falsehood and heir which of these i asked is the right everyone replied my own everyone said i alone and those who agree with me think rightly all the others are mistaken and how do you know that your sect is in the right because god said so and how do you know god said so and who told you that god said it my pastor knows all about it my pastor tells me what to believe and i believe it he assures me that anyone who says anything else is mistaken and i give not heed to them footnote all men said wise and good priests maintain that they hold and believe their religion and all use the same jargon not of man nor of any creature but of god but to speak truly without pretense or flattery none of them do so whatever they may say religions are taught by human hands and means take for example the way in which religions have been received by the world the way in which they are still received every day by individuals the nation the country the locality give the religion we belong to the religion of the place where we are born and brought up we are baptized or circumcised we are christians jews mohammedans before we know that we are men we do not pick and choose our religion for see how ill the life and conduct agree with the religion see for what slight and human causes men go against the teaching of their religion that was a quote from sharon de la sagase it seems clear that the honest creed of the holy theologian of condom would not have differed greatly from that of the savayard priest and footnote what thought i is not truth one can that which is true for me be false for you if those who follow the right path and those who go astray have the same method what merit or what blame can be assigned to one more than to the other their choice is a result of chance it is unjust to hold them responsible for it to reward or punish them for being born in one country or another to dare to say that god judges us in this manner is an outrage on his justice either all religions are good and pleasing to god or if there is one which he prescribes for men if they will be punished for despising it he will have distinguished it by plain and certain signs by which it can be known as the only true religion these signs are alike in every time and place equally plain to all men great or small learn it or unlearn it european indians africans savages if there were but one religion upon earth and if all beyond its pale were condemned to eternal punishment and if there were in any corner of the world one single honest man who was not convinced by this evidence the god of that religion would be the most unjust and cruel of tyrants let us therefore seek honestly after truth let us yield nothing to the claims of birth to the authority of parents and pastors but let us summon to the bar of conscience and of reason all that they have taught us from our childhood in vain do they exclaim submit your reason a deceiver might say as much i must have reasons for submitting my reason all the theology i can get for myself by observation of the universe and by the use of my faculties is contained in what i have already told you to know more one must have recourse to strange means these means cannot be the authority of men for every man is of the same species as myself and all that a man knows by nature i am capable of knowing and another may be deceived as much as i when i believe what he says it is not because he says it but because he proves its truth the witness of man is therefore nothing more than the witness of my own reason and it adds nothing to the natural means which god has given me for the knowledge of truth apostle of truth what if you to tell me of which i am not the soul judge god himself has spoken give heed to his revelation that is another matter god has spoken these are indeed words which demand attention to whom has he spoken he has spoken to men why then have i heard nothing he has instructed others to make known his words to you i understand it is men who come and tell me what god has said i would rather have heard the words of god himself it would have been as easy for him and i should have been secure from fraud he protects you from fraud by showing that his envoys come from him how does he show this by miracles where are these miracles in the books and who wrote the books men and who saw the miracles the men who bear witness to them what nothing but human testimony nothing but men who tell me what others told them how many men between god and me let us see however let us examine compare and verify oh if god had but deemed to free me from all this labor i would have served him with all my heart consider my friend the terrible controversy in which i am now engaged what vast learning is required to go back to the remotest antiquity to examine weigh confront prophecies revelations facts all the monuments of faith set forth throughout the world to assign their date place authorship and occasion what exactness of critical judgment is needed to distinguish genuine documents from forgeries to compare objections with their answers translations with their originals to decide as to the impartiality of witnesses their common sense their knowledge to make sure that nothing has been omitted nothing added nothing transposed altered or falsified to point out any remaining contradictions to determine what weight should be given to the silence of our adversaries with regard to the charges brought against them how far were they aware of those charges did they think them sufficiently serious to require an answer were books sufficiently well known for our books to reach them have we been honest enough to allow their books to circulate among ourselves and to leave their strongest objections unaltered when the authenticity of all these documents is accepted we must now pass to the evidence of their author's mission we must know the laws of chance in probability to decide which prophecy cannot be fulfilled without a miracle we must know the spirit of the original languages to distinguish between prophecy and figures of speech we must know what facts are in accordance with nature and what facts are not so that we may say how far a clever man may deceive the eyes of the simple and may even astonish the learned we must discover what are the characteristics of a prodigy and how its authenticity may be established not only so far as to gain credence but so that doubt may be deserving of punishment we must compare the evidence for true and false miracles and find sure tests to distinguish between them lastly we must say why god chose as a witness to his words means which themselves require so much evidence on their behalf as if he were playing with human credulity and avoiding to set purpose the true means of persuasion assuming that the divine majesty condescends so far as to make a man the channel of his sacred will is it reasonable is it fair to demand that the whole of mankind should obey the voice of this minister without making him known as such is it just to give him as his soul credentials certain private signs performed in the presence of a few obscure persons signs which everybody else can only know by hearsay if one were to believe all the miracles that the uneducated incredulous professed to have seen in every country upon earth every sect would be in the right there would be more miracles than ordinary events and it would be the greatest miracle if there were no miracles wherever there were persecuted fanatics the unchangeable order of nature is a chief witness to the wise hand that guides it if there were many exceptions i should hardly know what to think for my own part i have too great a faith in god to believe in so many miracles which are so little worthy of him let a man come and say to us mortals i proclaim to you the will of the most highest except my words as those of him who has sent me i bid the son to change his course the stars to range themselves in a fresh order the high places to become smooth the floods to rise up the earth to change her face by these miracles who will not recognize the master of nature she does not obey impostors their miracles are wrought in holes and corners in deserts within closed doors where they find only dupes among a small company of spectators already disposed to believe them who will venture to tell me how many eyewitnesses are required to make a miracle credible what use are your miracles performed if proof of your doctrine if they themselves require so much proof you might as well have let them alone there still remains the most important inquiry of all with regard to the doctrine proclaimed for since those who tell us god works miracles in this world profess that the devil sometimes imitates them when we have found the best attested miracles we have got very little further and since the magicians of pharaoh dared in the presence of moses to counterfeit the very signs he wrought at god's command why should they not behind his back claim alike authority so when we have proved our doctrine by means of miracles we must prove our miracles by means of doctrine for fear lest we should take the devil's doing for the handiwork of god but thank you of this dilemma footnote this is expressly stated in many passages of scripture among others in deuteronomy 13. for it is said that when a prophet preaching strange gods confirms his words by means of miracle and what he foretells comes to pass far from giving heed to him this prophet must be put to death if then the heathen put the apostles to death when they preached a strange god and confirmed their words by miracles which came to pass i cannot see what grounds we have for complaint which they could not at once turn against us now what should be done in such a case there is only one course to return to argument and let the miracles alone it would have been better not to have had recourse to them at all this is plain common sense which can only be obscured by great subtlety of distinction subtleties in christianity so jesus christ was mistaken when he promised the kingdom of heaven to the simple he was mistaken when he began his finest discourse with the praise of the poor in spirit if so much wit is needed to understand his teaching and to get others to believe in him when you have convinced me that submission is my duty all will be well but to convince me of this come down to my level adapt your arguments to a lowly mind for i shall not recognize you as a true disciple of your master and it is not his doctrine that you are teaching me and footnote this doctrine if it comes from god should bear the sacred stamp of the godhead not only should it illumine the troubled thoughts which reason imprints on our minds but it should also offer us a form of worship a morality and rules of conduct in accordance with the attributes by means of which we alone conceive of god's essence if then it teaches us what is absurd and unreasonable if it inspires us with feelings of aversion for our fellows and terror for ourselves if it paints us a god angry jealous revengeful partial hating man a god of war and battles ever ready to strike and to destroy ever speaking of punishment and torment boasting even of the punishment of the innocent my heart would not be drawn towards this terrible god i would take good care not to quit the realm of natural religion to embrace such a religion as that for you see plainly i must choose between them your god is not ours he who begins by selecting a chosen people and prescribing the rest of mankind is not our common father he who consigns to eternal punishment the greater part of his creatures is not the merciful and gracious god revealed to me by my reason reason tells me that dogmas should be plain clear and striking in their simplicity if there is something lacking in natural religion it is with respect to the obscurity in which it leaves the great truths it teaches revelation should teach us these truths in a way which the mind of man can understand it should bring them within his reach make him comprehend them so that he may believe them faith is confirmed and strengthened by understanding the best religion is of necessity the simplest he who hides beneath mysteries and contradictions the religion he preaches to me teaches me at the same time to distrust that religion the god whom i adore is not the god of darkness he has not given me understanding in order to forbid me to use it to tell me to submit my reasons is to insult the giver of reason the minister of truth does not tyrannize over my reason he enlightens it we have set aside all human authority and without it i do not see how any man can convince another by preaching a doctrine contrary to reason let them fight it out and let us see what they have to say with that harshness of speech which is common to both inspiration reason tells you that the whole is greater than the part but i tell you in god's name that the part is greater than the whole reason and who are you to dare to tell me that god contradicts himself and which shall i choose to believe god who teaches me through my reason the eternal truth or you who in his name proclaim an absurdity inspiration believe me for my teaching is more positive and i will prove to you beyond all manner of doubt that he has sent me reason what you will convince me that god has sent you to bear witness against himself what sort of proofs will you do to convince me that god speaks more surely by your mouth than through the understanding he has given me inspiration the understanding he has given you petty conceited creature as if you were the first impious person who had been led astray through his reason corrupted by sin reason man of god you would not be the first scoundrel who asserts his arrogance as a proof of his mission inspiration what do even philosophers call names reason sometimes when the saints set them the example inspiration oh but i have a right to do it for i am speaking on god's behalf reason you would do well to show your credentials before you make use of your privileges inspiration my credentials are authentic earth and heaven will bear witness on my behalf follow my arguments carefully if you please reason your arguments you forget what you are saying when you teach me that my reason misleads me do you not refute what it might have said on your behalf he who denies the right of reason must convince me without recourse to her aid for suppose you have convinced me by reason how am i to know that it is not my reason corrupted by sin which makes me accept what you say besides what proof what demonstration can you advance more self-evident than the axiom it is to destroy it is more credible that a good syllogism is a lie than that the part is greater than the whole inspiration what a difference there is no answer to my evidence it is of a supernatural kind reason supernatural what do you mean by the word i do not understand it inspiration i mean changes in the order of nature prophecies signs and wonders of every kind reason signs and wonders i have never seen anything of the kind inspiration others have seen them for you clouds of witnesses the witness of whole nations reason is the witness of nations supernatural inspiration no but when it is unanimous it is incontestable reason there is nothing so incontestable as the principles of reason and one cannot accept an absurdity on human evidence once more let us see your supernatural evidence for the consent of mankind is not supernatural inspiration o hardened heart grace does not speak to you reason that is not my fault for by your own showing one must have already received grace before one is able to ask for it begin by speaking to me in instead inspiration but that is just what i am doing and you will not listen but what do you say to prophecy reason in the first place i say i have no more heard a prophet than i have seen a miracle in the next i say that no prophet could claim authority over me inspiration follower of the devil why should not the words of the prophets have authority over you reason because three things are required three things which will never happen firstly i must have heard the prophecy secondly i must have seen its fulfillment and thirdly it must be clearly proved that the fulfillment of the prophecy could not by any possibility have been a mere coincidence for even if it was as precise as plain and clear as an axiom of geometry since the clearness of a chance prediction does not make its fulfillment impossible this fulfillment when it does take place does not strictly speaking prove what was foretold see what your so-called supernatural proofs your miracles your prophecies come to believe all this upon the word of another submit to the authority of men the authority of god which speaks to my reason if the eternal truths which my mind conceives or could suffer any shock there would be no sort of certainty for me and far from being sure that you speak to me on god's behalf i should not even be sure that there is a god my child here are difficulties enough but these are not all among so many religions mutually excluding and prescribing each other one only is true if indeed any one of them is true to recognize the true religion we must inquire into not one but all and in any question whatsoever we have no right to condemn unheard footnote on the other hand plutarch relates that the stoics maintain among other strange paradoxes that it was no use hearing both sides four said they the first either proves his point or he does not prove it if he has proved it there is an end of it and the other should be condemned if he has not proved it he himself is in the wrong and judgment should be given against him i consider the method of those who accept an exclusive revelation very much like that of these stoics when each of them claims to be the sole guardian of truth we must hear them all before we can choose between them without injustice and footnote the objections must be compared with the evidence we must know what accusation each brings against the other and what answers they receive the plainer any feeling appears to us the more we want to try to discover why so many other people refuse to accept it we should be simple indeed if we thought it enough to hear the doctors on our side in order to acquaint ourselves with the arguments of the other where can you find theologians who pride themselves on their honesty where are those who to refute arguments of their opponents do not begin by making out that they are of little importance a man may make a good show among his own friends and be very proud of his arguments who would cut a very poor figure with those same arguments among those who are on the other side would you find out for yourself from books what learning will you need what languages you must learn what libraries you must ransack when an amount of reading must be got through who will guide me in such a choice it will be hard to find the best books on the opposite side in any one country and all the harder to find those on all sides when found they would be easily answered the absent are always in the wrong and bad arguments boldly asserted easily face good arguments put forward with scorn besides books are often very misleading and scarcely express the opinions of their authors if you think you can judge the catholic faith from the writings of boussae you will find yourself greatly mistaken when you have lived among us you will see that the doctrines which the protestants are answered are quite different from those of the pulpit to judge a religion rightly you must not study it in the books of its partisans you must learn it in their lives this is quite another matter each religion has its own traditions meaning customs prejudices which form the spirit of its creed and must be taken in connection with it how many great nations neither print books of their own nor read ours how shall they judge of our opinions are we of theirs we laugh at them they despise us and if our travelers turn them into ridicules they need only travel among us to pay us back in our own coin are there not in every country men of common sense honesty and good faith lovers of truth who only seek to know what truth is that they may profess it yet everyone finds truth in his own religion and thinks the religion of other nations absurd so all these foreign religions are not so absurd as they seem to us or else the reason we find for our own proves nothing we have three principle forms of religion in europe one except one revelation another two and another three each hates the others showers curses on them accuses them of blindness obstinacy hardness of heart and falsehood what fair-minded man will dare to decide between them without first carefully weighing their evidence without listening attentively to their arguments that which accepts only one revelation is the oldest and seems the best established that which accepts three is the newest and seems the most consistent that which accepts two revelations and rejects the third may perhaps be the best but prejudice is certainly against it its inconsistency is glaring in all three revelations the sacred books are written in languages unknown to the people who believe in them the jews no longer understand hebrew the christians understand neither hebrew nor greek the turks and persians do not understand arabic and the arabs of our time do not speak the language of mohammed is not it a very foolish way of teaching to teach people in an unknown tongue these books are translated you say what an answer how am i to know that the translations are correct or how am i to make sure that such a thing as a correct translation is possible if god has gone so far as to speak to men why should he require an interpreter i can never believe that every man is obliged to know what is contained in books and that he who is out of reach of these books and of those who understand them will be punished for an ignorance which is no fault of his books upon books what madness as all europe is full of books europeans regard them as necessary forgetting that they are unknown throughout three quarters of the globe were not all these books written by men why then should a man need them to teach him his duty and how did he learn his duty before these books were in existence either he must have learnt his duties for himself or his ignorance must have been excused our catholics talked loudly of the authority of the church but what is the use of it all if they also need just as great an array of proofs to establish that authority as the others seek to establish their doctrine the church decides that the church has a right to decide what a well-founded authority go beyond it and you are back again in our discussions do you know how many christians who have taken the trouble to inquire let the jews allege against them if anyone knows anything at all about it it is from the writings of christians what a way of ascertaining the arguments of our adversaries but what is to be done if anyone dared to publish in our day books which were openly in favor of the jewish religion we should punish the author publisher and bookseller this regulation is a sure and certain plan for always being in the right it is easy to refute those who dare not venture to speak those among us who have the opportunity of talking with jews are little better off these unhappy people feel that they are in our power the tyranny they have suffered makes them timid they know that christian charity thinks nothing of injustice and cruelty will they dare to run the risk of an outcry against blasphemy our greed inspires us with zeal and they are so rich that they must be in the wrong the more learned the more enlightened they are the more cautious you may convert some poor wretch whom you have paid to slander his religion you get some wretched old clothes man to speak and he says what you want you may triumph over their ignorance and cowardice while all the time their men of learning are laughing at your stupidity but do you think you would get off so easily in any place where they knew they were safe at the sorbonne it is plain that the messianic prophecies refer to jesus christ among the rabbis of amsterdam it is just as clear that they have nothing to do with him i do not think i have ever heard the argument of the jews as to why they should not have a free state schools and universities where they can speak and argue without danger then alone can we know what they have to say at constantinople the turks state their arguments but we dare not give ours then it is our turn to cringe can we blame the turks if they require us to show the same respect for muhammad in whom we do not believe as we demand from the jews with regard to jesus christ in whom they do not believe are we right on what grounds of justice can we answer this question two-thirds of mankind are neither jews mohammedans nor christians and how many millions of men have never heard the name of moses jesus christ or muhammad they deny it they maintain that our missionaries go everywhere that is easily said but do they go into the heart of africa still undiscovered whereas yet no european has ever ventured do they go to eastern tartary to follow on horseback the wandering tribes whom no stranger approaches who not only know nothing of the pope but have scarcely heard tell of the grand lama do they penetrate into the vast continents of america where there are still whole nations unaware that the people of another world have set foot on their shores do they go to japan where their intrigues have led to their perpetual banishment where their predecessors are only known to the rising generation as skillful plotters who came with feigned zeal to take possession in secret of the empire do they reach the harems of the asiatic princes to preach the gospel to those thousands of poor slaves what have the women of those countries done that no missionaries may preach the faith to them will they all go to hell because of their seclusion if it is true that the gospel is preached throughout the world what advantage would there be the day before the first missionary set foot in any country no doubt somebody died who could not hear him now tell me what shall we do with him if there were a single soul in the whole world to whom jesus christ had never been preached this objection would be as strong for that man as for a quarter of the human race if the ministers of the gospel have made themselves heard among far-off nations but have they told them which might reasonably be accepted on their word without further and more exact verification you preached to me god born and dying two thousand years ago at the other end of the world in some small town i know not where and you tell me that all who have not believed this mystery are damned these are strange things to be believed so quickly on the authority of an unknown person why did your god make these things happen so far off if he would compel me to know about them is it a crime to be unaware of what is happening half a world away could i guess that in another hemisphere there was a hebrew nation in a town called jerusalem you might as well expect me to know what was happening in the moon you say you have come to teach me but why did you not come and teach my father or why do you consign that good old man to damnation because he knew nothing of all this must he be punished everlastingly for your laziness he who was so kind and helpful he who sought only for truth be honest put yourself in my place see if i ought to believe on your word alone all these incredible things which you have told me and reconcile all this injustice with the just god you proclaim to me at least allow me to go and see this distant land where such wonders unheard of in my own country took place let me go and see why the inhabitants of jerusalem put their god to death as a robber you tell me they did not know he was god what then shall i do i who have only heard of him from you you say they have been punished dispersed oppressed enslaved that none of them dare approach that town indeed they richly deserved it but what do its present inhabitants say of their crime in slain their god they deny him they too refuse to recognize god as god they are no better than the children of the original inhabitants what in the very town where god was put to death neither the former nor the latter inhabitants knew him and you expect that i should know him i who was born two thousand years after his time and two thousand leagues away do you not see that before i can believe this book which you call sacred but which i do not in the least understand i must know from others then yourself when and by whom it was written how it has been preserved how it came into your possession what they say about it in those lands where it is rejected and what are their reasons for rejecting it though they know as well as you what you are telling me you perceive i must go to europe asia palestine to examine these things for myself it would be madness to listen to you before that not only does this seem reasonable to me but i maintain that it is what every wise man ought to say in similar circumstances that he ought to banish to a great distance the missionary who wants to instruct and baptize him all of a sudden before the evidence is verified now i maintain that there is no revelation against which these or similar objections cannot be made and with more force than against christianity hence it follows that if there is but one true religion and if every man is bound to follow it under pain of damnation he must spend his whole life in studying testing comparing all these religions and traveling through the countries in which they are established no man is free from a man's first duty no one has a right to depend on another's judgment the artisan who earns his bread by his daily toil the plowboy who cannot read the delicate and timid maiden the invalid who can scarcely leave his bed all without exception must study consider argue travel over the whole world there will be no more fixed and settled nations the whole earth will swarm with pilgrims on their way at great cost of time and trouble to verify compare and examine for themselves the various religions to be found then farewell to the trades the arts the sciences of mankind farewell to all peaceful occupations there can be no study but that of religion even the strongest the most industrious the most intelligent the oldest will hardly be able in his last years to know where he is and it will be a wonder if he manages to find out what religion he ought to live by before the hour of his death end of section 29 section number 30 of a meal this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for

priest part five hard-pressed by these arguments some prefer to make god unjust and to punish the innocent for the sins of their fathers rather than to renounce their barbarous dogmas others get out of the difficulty by kindly sending an angel to instruct all those who in invincible ignorance have lived a righteous life a good idea that angel not content to be the slaves of their own inventions they expect god to make use of them also behold my son the absurdities to which pride and intolerance bring us when everybody wants others to think as he does and everybody fantasizes that he has an exclusive claim upon the rest of mankind i call to witness the god of peace whom i adore and whom i proclaim to you that my inquiries are honestly made but when i discovered that they were and always would be unsuccessful and that i was embarked upon a boundless ocean i turned back and restricted my faith within the limits of my primitive ideas i could never convince myself that god would require such learning of me under pain of hell so i closed all my books there is one book which is open to everyone the book of nature in this good and great volume i learn to serve and adore its author there is no excuse for not reading this book for it speaks to all in a language they can understand suppose i had been born in a desert island suppose i had never seen any man but myself suppose i had never heard what took place in olden days in a remote corner of the world yet if i use my reason if i cultivate it if i employ rightly the innate faculties which god bestows upon me i shall learn by myself to know and love him to love his works to will what he wills and to fulfill all my duties upon earth that i may do his pleasure what more can all human learning teach me with regard to revelation if i were a more accomplished disputant or a more learned person perhaps i should feel its truth its usefulness for those who are happy enough to perceive it but if i find evidence for which i cannot combat i also find objections against it which i cannot overcome there are so many weighty reasons for and against that i do not know what to decide so that i neither accept nor reject it i only reject all obligation to be convinced of its truth for this so-called obligation is incompatible with god's justice and far from removing objections in this way it would multiply them and would make them insurmountable for the greater part of mankind in this respect i maintain an attitude of reverent doubt i do not presume to think myself infallible other men may have been able to make up their minds though the matter seems doubtful to myself i am speaking for myself not for them i neither blame them nor follow in their steps their judgment may be superior to mine but it is no fault of mine that my judgment does not agree with it i own also that the holiness of the gospel speaks to my heart and that this is an argument which i should be sorry to refute consider the books of the philosophers with all their outward show how petty they are in comparison can a book at once so grand and so simple be the work of men is it possible that he whose history is contained in this book is no more than man is the tone of this book the tone of the enthusiast or the ambitious secretary what gentleness and purity in his actions what a touching grace in his teachings how lofty are his sayings how profoundly wise are his sermons how ready how discriminating and how just are his answers what man what sage can live suffer and die without weakness or ostentation when plato describes his imaginary good man overwhelmed with a disgrace of crime and deserving of all the rewards of virtue every feature of the portrait is that of christ the resemblance is so striking that it has been noticed by all the fathers and there can be no doubt about it what prejudices and blindness must there be before we dare to compare the son of safraniska with the son of mary how far apart they are socrates dies a painless death he is not put to open shame and he plays his part easily to the last and if this easy death had not done honour to his life we might have doubted whether socrates with all his intellect was more than a mere sophist he invented morality so they say others before him had practiced it and he only said what they had done and made use of their examples in his teachings aristides was just before socrates defined justice leonidas died for his country before socrates declared that patriotism was a virtue sparta was sober before socrates extolled sobriety there were plenty of virtuous men in greece before he defined virtue but among the men of his own time where did jesus find that pure and lofty morality of which he is both the teacher and the pattern footnote in the sermon of the mount the parallel he himself draws between the teachings of moses and his own matthew 5 and a footnote the voice of loftiest wisdom arose among the fiercest fanaticism and the simplicity of the most heroic virtues did honour to the most degraded of nations one could wish no easier death than that of socrates calmly discussing philosophy with his friends one could fear nothing worse than that of jesus dying in torment among the insults the mockery the curses of the whole nation in the midst of these terrible sufferings jesus prays for his cruel murderers yes if the life and death of socrates are those of a philosopher the life and death of christ are those of a god shall we say that the gospel story is the work of the imagination my friend such things are not imagined and the doings of socrates which no one doubts are less well attested than those of jesus christ at best you only put the difficulty from you it would be still more incredible that several persons should have agreed together to invent such a book than that there was one man who supplied its subject matter the tone and morality of this story are not those of any jewish authors and the gospel indeed contains characters so great so striking so entirely inimitable that their invention would be more astonishing than their hero with all this the same gospel is full of incredible things things repugnant to reason things which no natural man can understand or accept what can you do among so many contradictions you can be modest and wary my child respect and silence what you can neither reject nor understand and humble yourself in the sight of the divine being who alone knows the truth this is the unwilling skepticism in which i rest but this skepticism is in no way painful to me for it does not extend to matters of practice and i am well assured as to the principles underlying all my duties i serve god in the simplicity of my heart i only seek to know what affects my conduct as to those dogmas which have no effect upon action or morality dogmas about which so many men torment themselves i give no heed to them i regard all individual religions has so many wholesome institutions which prescribe a uniform method by which each country may do honour to god in public worship institutions which may each have its reason in the country the government the genius of the people or in other local causes which make one preferable to another in a given time or place i think them all good alike when god is served in a fitting manner true worship is of the heart god rejects no homage however offered provided it is sincere called to the service of the church in my own religion i fulfill as scrupulously as i can all the duties prescribed to me and my conscience would reproach me if i were knowingly wanting with regard to any point you are aware that after being suspended for a long time i have through the influence of m malloryde obtained permission to resume my priestly duties as a means of livelihood i used to say mass with the levity that comes from long experience even of the most serious matters when they are too familiar to us with my new principles i now celebrate it with more reverence i dwell upon the majesty of the supreme being his presence the insufficiency of the human mind which so little realizes what concerns its creator when i consider how i present before him the prayers of all the people in a form laid down for me i carry out the whole ritual exactly i give heed to what i say i am careful not to omit the least word the least ceremony when the moment of the consecration approaches i collect my powers that i may do all things as required by the church and by the greatness of this sacrament i strive to annihilate my own reason before the supreme mind i say to myself who art thou to measure infinite power i reverently pronounce the sacramental words and i give to their effect all the faith i can bestow whatever may be this mystery which passes understanding i am not afraid that at the day of judgment i shall be punished for having profaned it in my heart honoured with the sacred ministry though in its lowest ranks i will never do or say anything which may make me unworthy to fulfill these sublime duties i will always preach virtue and exhort men to well doing and so far as i can i will set them a good example it will be my business to make religion attractive it will be my business to strengthen their faith in those doctrines which are really useful those which every man must believe but please god i shall never teach them to hate their neighbor to say to other men you will be damned to say no salvation outside the church footnote the duty of following and loving the religion of our country does not go so far as to require us to accept doctrines contrary to good morals such as intolerance this horrible doctrine sets men in arms against their fellow men and makes them all enemies of mankind the distinction between civil toleration and theological toleration is vain and childish these two kinds of toleration are inseparable and we cannot accept one without the other even the angels could not live at peace with men whom they regarded as the enemies of god and a footnote if i were in a more conspicuous position this reticence might get me into trouble but i'm too obscure to have much to fare and i could hardly think lower than i am come what may i will never blaspheme the justice of god nor lie against the holy ghost i have long desired to have a parish of my own it is still my ambition but i no longer hope to attain it my dear friend i think that there is nothing so delightful as to be a parish priest a good clergyman is a minister of mercy as a good magistrate is the minister of justice a clergyman is never called upon to do evil if he cannot always do good himself it is never out of place for him to beg for others and he often gets what he asks if he knows how to gain respect oh if i should ever have some poor mountain parish where i might minister to kindly folk i should be happy indeed for it seems to me that i should make my parishioners happy i should not bring them riches but i would share their poverty i should remove from them the scorn and approprium which are harder to bear than poverty i should make them love peace and equality which often remove poverty and always make it tolerable when they saw that i was in no way better off than themselves and that yet i was content with my lot they would learn to put up with their fate and to be content like me in my sermons i would lay more stress on the spirit of the gospel than on the spirit of the church its teaching is simple its morality sublime there is little in it about the practices of religion but much about works of charity before i teach them what they ought to do i would try to practice it myself that they might see that at least i think what i say if there were protestants in the neighborhood or in my parish i would make no difference between them and my own congregation so far as concerns christian charity i would get them to love one another to consider themselves brethren to respect all religions and to each live peaceably in his own religion to ask anyone to abandon the religion in which he is born is i consider to ask him to do wrong and therefore to do wrong oneself while we await further knowledge let us respect public order in every country let us respect the laws let us not disturb the form of worship prescribed by law let us not lead citizens into disobedience for we have no certain knowledge that it is good for them to abandon their own opinions for others and on the other hand we are quite certain that it is a bad thing to disobey the law my young friend i have now repeated to you my creed as god reads it in my heart you are the first to whom i have told it perhaps you will be the last as long as there is any true faith left among men we must not trouble quiet souls nor scare the faith of the ignorant with problems they cannot solve with difficulties which cause them uneasiness but do not give them any guidance but when once everything is shaken the trunk must be preserved at the cost of the branches consciences restless uncertain and almost quenched like yours require to be strengthened and aroused to set the feet again upon the foundation of eternal truth we must remove the trembling supports in which they think they rest you are at that critical age when the mind is open to conviction when the heart receives its form and character when we decide our own fate for life either for good or evil at a later date the material has hardened and fresh impressions leave no trace young man take the stamp of truth upon your heart which is not yet hardened if i were more certain of myself i should have adopted a more decided and dogmatic tone but i am a man ignorant and liable to error what could i do i have opened my heart fully to you and i have told you what i myself hold for certain and sure i have told you my doubts as doubts my opinions as opinions i have given you my reasons both for faith and doubt it is now your turn to judge you have asked for time that is a wise precaution and it makes me think well of you begin by bringing your conscience into that state in which it desires to see clearly be honest with yourself take to yourself such of my opinions as convince you reject the rest you are not yet so depraved by vice as to run the risk of choosing a mess i would offer to argue with you but as soon as men dispute they lose their temper pride and obstinacy come in and there is an end to honesty my friend never argue for by arguing we gain no light for ourselves or for others so far as i myself am concerned i have only made up my mind after many years of meditation here i rest my conscience is at peace my heart is satisfied if i wanted to begin afresh the examination of my feelings i should not bring to the task a pure love of truth and my mind which is already less active would be less able to perceive the truth here i shall rest lest the love of contemplation developing step by step into an idle passion should make me lukewarm in the performance of my duties less i should fall into my former skepticism without strength to struggle out of it more than half my life is spent i have belly time to make good use of what is left to blot out my faults by my virtues if i am mistaken it is against my will he who reads my inmost heart knows that i have no love for my blindness as my own knowledge is powerless to free me from this blindness my only way out is by a good life and if god from the very stones can raise up children to abraham every man has a right to hope that he may be taught the truth if he makes himself worthy of it if my reflections lead you to think as i do if you share my feelings if we have the same creed i give you this advice do not continue to expose your life to the temptations of poverty and despair nor waste it in degradation and at the mercy of strangers no longer eat the shameful bread of charity return to your own country go back to the religion of your fathers and follow it in sincerity of heart and never forsake it it is very simple and very holy i think there is no other religion upon earth whose morality is purer no other more satisfying to the reason do not trouble about the cost of the journey that will be provided for you neither do you fear the false shame of a humiliating return we should blush to commit a fault do not repair it you are still at an age when all is forgiven but when we cannot go on sinning with impunity if you desire to listen to your conscience a thousand empty objections will disappear at her voice you will feel that in our present state of uncertainty it is an inexcusable presumption to propose any faith but that we were born into while it is treachery not to practice honestly the faith we profess if we go astray we deprive ourselves of a great excuse before the tribunal of the sovereign judge will he not pardon the areas in which we were brought up rather than those of our own choosing my son keep your soul in such a state that you always desire that there should be a god and you will never doubt it moreover whatever decision you come to remember that the real duties of religion are independent of human institutions that a righteous heart is a true temple of the godhead that in every land in every sect to love god above all things and to love our neighbor as our self is the whole law remember there is no religion which absolves us from our moral duties that these alone are really essential that the service of the heart is the first of these duties and that without faith there is no such thing as true virtue shun those who under the pretense of explaining nature so destructive doctrines in the heart of men those whose apparent skepticism is a hundred fold more self-assertive and dogmatic than the firm tone of their opponents under the arrogant claim that they alone are enlightened true honest they subject us imperiously to their far-reaching decisions and profess to give us as the true principles of all things the unintelligible systems framed by their imagination moreover they overthrow destroy and trample underfoot all that men reverence they robbed the afflicted of their last consolation in their misery they deprived the rich and powerful of the soul bridal of their passions they tear from the very depths of man's heart or remorse for crime and all hope of virtue and they boast moreover that they are the benefactors of the human race truth they say can never do a man harm i think so too and to my mind that is strong evidence that what they teach is not true footnote the rival parties attack each other with so many sophistries that it would be a rush and overwhelming enterprise to attempt to deal with all of them it is difficult enough to note some of them as they occur one of the commonest areas among the partisans of philosophy is to contrast a nation of good philosophies with a nation of bad christians as if it were easier to make a nation of good philosophers than a nation of good christians i know not whether in individual cases it is easier to discover one rather than the other but i'm quite certain that as far as nations are concerned we must assume that there will be those who misuse their philosophy without religion just as our people misuse their religion without philosophy and that seems to put quite a different face upon the matter end of footnote baal has proved very satisfactorily that fanaticism is more harmful than atheism and that cannot be denied but what he has not taken the trouble to say though it is nonetheless true is this fanaticism though cruel and bloodthirsty is still a great and powerful passion which stirs the heart of man teaching him to despise death and giving him an enormous motive power which only needs to be guided rightly to produce the noblest virtues while a religion and the argumented a philosophic spirit generally on the other hand assaults the life and unfeebles it degrades the soul concentrates all the passions in the basis self-interest in the meanest of the human self thus it sucks unnoticed the very foundations of all society but what is common to all these private interests is so small that it will never outweigh their opposing interests if atheism does not lead to bloodshed it is less from love of peace than from indifference to what is good as if it mattered little what happened to others provided the sage remained undisturbed in his study his principles do not kill men but they prevent their birth by destroying the morals by which they were multiplied by detaching them from their fellows by reducing all their affections to a secret selfishness as fatal to population as to virtue the indifference of the philosopher is like the piece in a despotic state it is the repose of death war itself is not more destructive that's fanaticism though its immediate results are more fatal than those of what is now called the philosophic mind is much less fatal in its after effects moreover it is an easy matter to exhibit fun maxims in books but the real question is are they really in accordance with your teaching are they necessary consequences of it and this has not been clearly proved so far it remains to be seen where the philosophy safely enthroned could control successfully man's petty vanity his self-interest his ambition all the lesser passions of mankind and whether it would practice that sweet humanity which it boasts of pen and hand in theory there is no good which philosophy can bring about which is not equally secured by religion while religion secures much that philosophy cannot secure in practice it is another matter but still we must put it to the proof no man follows his religion and all things even if his religion is true most people have hardly any religion and they do not in the least follow what they have that is still more true but still there are some people who have a religion and follow it at least to some extent and beyond doubt religious motives do prevent them from wrongdoing and win from them virtues praiseworthy actions which would not have existed but for these motives a monk denies that money was entrusted to him what of that it only proves that the man who entrusted the money to him was a fool if pascal had done the same that would have proved that pascal was a hypocrite but a monk are those who make a trade of religion religious people all the crimes committed by the clergy as by other men do not prove that religion is useless but that very few people are religious most certainly our modern government owe to christianity their more stable authority their less frequent revolutions it has made those governments less bloodthirsty this can be shown by comparing them with the governments of former times apart from fanaticism the best known religion has given greater gentleness to christian conduct this change is not the result of learning for wherever learning has been most illustrious humanity has been no more respected on that account the cruelties of the athenians the egyptians the roman emperors the chinese bear witness to this what works of mercy spring from the gospel how many acts of restitution reparation confession does the gospel lead to among catholics among ourselves as the times of communion draw near do they not lead us to reconciliation and to arms giving did not the hebrew jubilee make the grasping less greedy did it not prevent much poverty the brotherhood of the law made the nation one no beggar was found among them neither are there beggars among the turks where there are countless pious institutions from motives of religion they even show hospitalities to the foes of their religion the muhammadans say according to chardon that after the interrogation which will follow the general resurrection all bodies will traverse a bridge called pole zero which is thrown across the eternal fires a bridge which may be called the third and last test of the great judgment because it is there that the good and bad will be separated etc the persians continues chad make a great point of this bridge and when anyone suffers a wrong which he can never hope to wipe out by any means or at any time he finds his last consolation in these words by the living god you will pay me double at the last day you will never get across the pulsero if you do not first do me justice i will hold the hem of your garment i will cling about your knees i have seen many imminent men of every profession who for fear lest this human cry should be raised against them as they cross that fearful bridge begged pardon of those who complained against them it has happened to me myself on many occasions men of rank who compelled me by their opportunity to do what i did not wish to do have come to me when they thought my anger had time to call and have said to me i pray you hello be gone and tristia that is make this matter lawful and right some of them have even sent gifts and done me service so that i might forgive them and say i did it willingly the cause of this is nothing else but this belief that they will not be able to get across the bridge of hell until they have paid the utmost farthing to the oppressed must i think that the idea of this bridge where so many iniquities are made good is of no avail if the persians were deprived of this idea if they were persuaded that there is no pulse zero nor anything of the kind where the oppressed were avenged of their tyrants after death is it not clear that they would be very much at their ease and that they would be freed from the care of appeasing the wretched but if it is false to say that this doctrine is hurtful yet would it not be true oh philosopher your moral laws are all very fine but kindly show me their sanction cease to shirk the question and tell me plainly what you would put in the place of pole zero end of section 30 section 31 of a meal this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org emil by jean chuck rousseau translated by barbara foxley the creed of the savayard priest part 6 my good youth be honest and humble learn how to be ignorant then you will never deceive yourself or others if ever your talents are so far cultivated as to enable you to speak to other men always speak according to your conscience without ordering for their applause the abuse of knowledge causes incredulity the learned always despised the opinions of the crowd each of them must have his own opinion a haughty philosophy leads to atheism just as blind devotion leads to fanaticism avoid these extremes keep steadfastly to the path of truth or what seems to you truth in simplicity of heart and never let yourself be turned aside by pride or weakness dare to confess god before the philosophers dare to preach humanity to the intolerant it may be you will stand alone but you will bear within you a witness which will make the witness of men of no account with you let them love or hate let them read your writings or despise them no matter speak the truth and do the right the one thing that really matters is to do one's duty in this world and when we forget ourselves we are really working for ourselves my child self-interest misleads us the hope of the just is the only sure guide i have transcribed this document not as a rule for the sentiments we should adopt in matters of religion but as an example of the way in which we may reason with our pupil without forsaking the method i have tried to establish so long as we yield nothing to human authority nor to the prejudices of our native land the light of reason alone in a state of nature can lead us no further than to natural religion and this is as far as i should go with emil if he must have any other religion i have no right to be his guide he must choose for himself we are working in agreement with nature and while she is shaping the physical man we are striving to shape his moral being but we do not make the same progress the body is already strong and vigorous the soul is still frail and delicate and whatever can be done by human art the body is always ahead of the mind hitherto all our care has been devoted to restrain the one and stimulate the other so that the man might be as far as possible at one with himself by developing his individuality we have kept his growing susceptibilities in check we have controlled it by cultivating his reason objects of thought moderate the influence of objects of sense by going back to the causes of things we have withdrawn him from the sway of the senses it is an easy thing to raise him from the study of nature to the search for the author of nature when we have reached this point what a fresh hold we have got over our pupil what fresh ways of speaking to his heart then alone does he find a real motive for being good for doing right when he is far from every human eye and when he is not driven to it by law to be just in his own eyes and in the sight of god to do his duty even at the cost of life itself and to bear in his heart virtue not only for the love of order which we all subordinate to the love of self but for the love of the author of his being a love which mingles with that self-love so that he may at length enjoy the lasting happiness which the peace of a good conscience and the contemplation of that supreme being promise him in another life after he has used this life a right go beyond this and i see nothing but injustice hypocrisy and falsehood among men private interest which in competition necessarily prevails over everything else teaches all things to adorn vice with the outward show of virtue that all men do what is good for me at the cost of what is good for themselves let everything depend on me alone let the whole human race perish if needs be in suffering and want to spare me a moment's pain or hunger yes i shall always maintain that whoso says in his heart there is no god well he takes the name of god upon his lips is either a liar or a madman reader it is all in vain i perceive that you and i shall never see emil with the same eyes you will always fancy him like your own young people hasty impetuous flighty wandering from fate to fate from amusement to amusement never able to settle to anything you smile when i expect to make a thinker a philosopher a young theologian of an ardent lively eager and fiery young man at the most impulsive period of youth this dreamer you say is always in pursuit of his fancy when he gives us a pupil of his own making he does not merely form him he creates him he makes him up out of his own head and while he thinks he is treading in the steps of nature he is getting further and further from her as for me when i compare my pupil with years i can scarcely find anything in common between them so differently brought up it is almost a miracle if they are alike in any respect as his childhood was passed in the freedom they assume in youth in his youth he began to bear the yoke they bore as children this yoke becomes hateful to them they are sick of it and they see in it nothing but their master's tyranny when they escape from childhood they think they must shake off all control they make up for the prolonged restraint imposed upon them as a prisoner freed from his fetters moves and stretches and shakes his limbs footnote there is no one who looks down upon childhood with such lofty scorn as those who are barely grown up just as there is no country where rank is more strictly regarded than that where there is little real inequality everybody is afraid of being confounded with his inferiors and footnote emile however is proud to be a man and to submit to the yoke of his growing reason his body already well grown no longer needs so much action and begins to control itself while his half-fledged mind tries its wings on every occasion thus the age of reason becomes for the one the age of license for the other the age of reasoning would you know which of the two is nearer to the order of nature consider the differences between those who are more or less removed from the state of nature observe young villagers and see if they are as undisciplined as your scholars the sewer de beau says that savages in childhood are always active and ever busy with sports that keep the body in motion but scarcely do they reach adolescence then they become quiet and dreamy they no longer devote themselves to games of skill or chance emil who has been brought up in full freedom like young peasants and savages should behave like them and change as he grows up the whole difference is in this that instead of merely being active in sport or for food he has in the course of his sports learn to think having reached this stage and by this road he is quite ready to enter upon the next stage to which i introduce him the subjects i suggest for his consideration rouse his curiosity because they are fine in themselves because they are quite new to him and because he is able to understand them your young people on the other hand are weary and overdone with your stupid lessons your long sermons and your tedious catechisms why should they not refuse to devote their minds to what has made them sad to the burdensome precepts which have been continually piled upon them to the thought of the author of their being who has been represented as the enemy of their pleasures all this has only inspired in them aversion disgust and weariness constraint has set them against it why then should they devote themselves to it when they are beginning to choose for themselves they require novelty you must not repeat what they learned as children just so with my own pupil when he is a man i speak to him as a man and only tell him what is new to him it is just because they are tedious to your pupils that he will find them to his taste this is how i doubly gained time for him by retarding nature to the advantage of reason and have i indeed retarted the progress of nature no i've only prevented the imagination from hastening it i've employed another sort of teaching to counterbalance the precocious instruction which the young man receives from other sources when he is carried away by the flood of existing customs and i draw him to the opposite direction by means of other customs this is not to remove him from his place but to keep him in it nature's due time comes at length as comet must since man must die he must reproduce himself so that the species may endure and the order of the world continue when by the signs i have spoken of you perceive that the crucial moment is at hand and once abandoned forever your former tone he is still your disciple but not your scholar he is a man and your friend henceforth you must treat him as such what must i abdicate my authority when most i need it must i abandon the adult to himself just when he least knows how to control himself when he may fall into the gravest heirs must i renounce my rights when it matters most that i should use them on his behalf who bids you renounce them he is only just becoming conscious of them hitherto all you have gained has been one by force or guile authority the law of duty were unknown to him you had to constrain or deceive him to gain his obedience but see what fresh chains you have bound about his heart reason friendship affection gratitude a thousand bonds of affection speak to him in a voice he cannot fail to hear his ears are not yet dulled by vice he is still sensitive only to the passions of nature self-love the first of these delivers him into your hands habit confirms this if a passing transport tears him from you regret restores him to you without delay the sentiment which attaches him to you is the only lasting sentiment all the rest are fleeting and self-effacing do not let him become corrupt or he will always be docile he will not begin to rebel till he is already perverted i grant you indeed that if you directly oppose his growing desires and foolishly treat as crimes the fresh needs which are beginning to make themselves felt in him he will not listen to you for long but as soon as you abandon my method i cannot be answerable for the consequences remember that you are nature's minister you will never be her foe but what shall we decide to do you see no alternative but either to favor his inclinations or to resist them to tyrannize or to wink at his misconduct and both of these may lead to such dangerous results that one must indeed hesitate between them the first way out of the difficulty is a very early marriage this is undoubtedly the safest and most natural plan i doubt however whether it is the best or the most useful i will give my reasons later meanwhile i admit that young men should marry when they reach a marriageable age but this age comes too soon we have made them precocious marriage should be postponed to maturity if it were merely a case of listening to their wishes and following their lead it would be an easy matter but there are so many contradictions between the rights of nature and the laws of society that to conciliate between them we must continually contradict ourselves much art is required to prevent man in society from becoming altogether artificial for the reasons just stated i consider that by the means i have indicated and others like them the young man's desires may be kept in ignorance and his senses pure up to the age of twenty this is so true that among the germans a young man who lost his virginity before that age was considered dishonored and the writers justly attribute the vigor of constitution and the number of children among the germans to the continents of these nations during youth this period may be prolonged still further and a few centuries ago nothing was more common even in france among other well-known examples montaigne's father a man no less scrupulously truthful than strong and healthy swore that his was a virgin marriage at 3 and 30 and he had served for a long time in the italian wars we may see in the writings of his son what strength and spirit were shown by the father when he was over sixty certainly the contrary opinion depends rather on our own morals and our own prejudices than on the experience of the race as a whole i may therefore leave on one side the experience of our young people it proves nothing for those who have been educated in another fashion considering that nature has fixed no exact limits which cannot be advanced or postponed i think i may without going beyond the law of nature assume that under my care emil has so far remained in his first innocence but i see that this happy period is drawing to a close surrounded by ever increasing perils he will escape me at the first opportunity in spite of all my efforts and this opportunity will not long be delayed he will follow the blind instinct of his senses the chances are a thousand to one on his rune i have considered the morals of mankind too profoundly not to be aware of the irrevocable influence of this first moment on all the rest of his life if i dissimulate and pretend to see nothing he will take advantage of my weakness if he thinks he can deceive me he will despise me and i become an accomplice in his destruction if i try to recall him the time has passed he no longer heeds me he finds me tiresome hateful intolerable it will not be long before he is rid of me there is therefore only one reasonable course open to me i must make him accountable for his own actions i must at least preserve him from being taken unawares and i must show him plainly the dangers which beset his path i have restrained him so far through his ignorance henceforth his restraint must be his own knowledge this new teaching is of great importance and we will take up our story where we left it this is a time to present my accounts to show him how his time and mind have been spent to make known to him what he is and what i am what i have done and what he has done what we owe to each other all his moral relations all the undertakings to which he has pledged all those to which others have pledged themself in respect to him the stage he has reached in the development of his faculties the road that remains to be traveled the difficulties he will meet and the way to overcome them how i can still help him and how he must hands forth help himself in a word the critical time which he has reached the new dangers round about him and all the valid reasons which should induce him to keep a close watch upon himself before giving heed to his growing desires remember that to guide a grown man you must reverse all that you did to guide the child do not hesitate to speak to him of those dangerous mysteries which you have so carefully concealed from him hitherto since he must become aware of them let him not learn them from another nor from himself but from you alone since he must henceforth fight against them let him know his enemy that he may not be taken unawares young people who are found to be aware of these matters without our knowing how they obtained their knowledge have not obtained it with impunity this unwise teaching which can have no honorable object stains the imagination of those who receive it if it does nothing worse and it inclines them to the vices of their instructors this is not all servants by this means ingratiate themselves with a child gain his confidence make him regard his tutor as a gloomy and tiresome person and one of the favorite subjects of their secret colloquise is to slander him when the pupil has got so far the master may abandon his task he can do no good but why does a child choose special confidence because of the tyranny of those who control him why should he hide himself from them if he were not driven to it why should he complain if he had nothing to complain of naturally those who control him are his first confidants you can see from his eagerness to tell them what he thinks that he feels he has only half thought until he has told his thoughts to them you may be sure that when the child knows you will neither preach nor scold he will always tell you everything and that no one will dare to tell him anything he must conceal from you for they will know very well that he will tell you everything what makes me most confident in my method is this when i follow it out as closely as possible i find no situation in the life of my scholar which does not leave me some pleasing memory of him even when he is carried away by his ardent temperament or when he revolts against the hand that guides him when he struggles and is on the point of escaping from me i still find his first simplicity in his agitation and his anger his heart is pure as his body he has no more knowledge of pretense than a vice reproach and scorn have not made a coward of him pace fears have never taught him the art of concealment he has all the indiscretion of innocence he is absolutely outspoken he does not even know the use of deceit every impulse of his heart is betrayed either by word or look and i often know what he is feeling before he is aware of it himself so long as his heart is destroying open to me so long as he delights to tell me what he feels i have nothing to fear the danger is not yet at hand but if he becomes more timid more reserved if i perceive in his conversation the first signs of confusion and shame his instincts are beginning to develop he is beginning to connect the idea of evil with these instincts there is not a moment to lose if i do not hasten to instruct him he will learn in spite of me some of my readers even of those who agree with me will think that it is only a question of a conversation with the young man at any time oh this is not the way to control the human heart what we say has no meaning unless the opportunity has been carefully chosen before we sow we must till the ground the seed of virtue is hard to grow and a long period of preparation is required before it will take root one reason why sermons have so little effect is that they are offered to everybody alike without discrimination or choice how can anyone imagine that the same sermon could be suitable for so many hearers with their different dispositions so unlike in mind temper age sex station and opinion perhaps there are not two among those to whom what is addressed to all is really suitable and all our affections are so transitory that perhaps there are not even two occasions in the life of any man when the same speech would have the same effect on him judge for yourself whether the time when the eager senses disturb the understanding and tyrannize over the will is the time to listen to the solemn lessons of wisdom therefore never reason with young men even when they reached the age of reason unless you have first prepared the way most lectures missed their mark more through the master's fault than the disciples the padant and the teacher say much the same but the former says it at random in the latter only when he is sure of its effect as a somnambolist wandering in his sleep walks along the edge of a precipice over which he would fall if he were awake so my emil in the sleep of ignorance escapes the perils which he does not see or i to wake him with a start he might fall let us first try to withdraw him from the edge of the precipice and then we will awaken him to show him it from a distance reading solitude idleness a soft and sedentary life intercourse with women and young people these are perilous paths for a young man and these lead him constantly into danger i divert his senses by other objects of sense i trace another course for his spirits by which i distract them from the course they would have taken it is by bodily exercise and hard work that i checked the activity of the imagination which was leading him astray when the arms are hard at work the imagination is quiet when the body is very weary the passions are not easily inflamed the quickest and easiest precaution is to remove him from immediate danger at once i take him away from towns away from things which might lead him into temptation but that is not enough in what desert in what wilds shall he escape from the thoughts which pursue him it is not enough to remove dangerous objects if i fail to remove the memory of them if i fail to find a way to detach him from everything if i fail to distract him from himself i might as well have left him where he was emil has learned a trade but we do not have recourse to it he is fond of farming and understands it but farming is not enough the occupations he is acquainted with degenerate into routine when he is engaged in them he is not really occupied he is thinking of other things head and hand are at work on different subjects he must have some fresh occupation which has the interest of novelty an occupation which keeps him busy diligent and hard at work an occupation which he may become passionately fond of one to which he will devote himself entirely now the only one which seems to possess all these characteristics is the chase if hunting is ever an innocent pleasure if it is ever worthy of a man now is the time to be take ourselves to it a meal is well fitted to succeed in it he is strong skillful patient and weary he is sure to take a fancy to this part he will bring to it all the order of youth in it he will lose at least for a time the dangerous inclinations which spring from softness the chase hardens the heart as well as the body we get used to the sight of blood and cruelty diana is represented as the enemy of love and the allegory is true to life the langers of love are born of soft repose the tender feelings are stifled by violent exercise in the woods and fields the lover and the sportsmen are so diversely affected that they receive very different impressions the fresh shade the arbors the pleasant resting places of the one to the other are but feeding grounds or places where the quarry will hide or turn to bay where the lover hears the flute and the nightingale the hunter hears the horn and the hounds one pictures to himself the nymphs and dryads the others sees the horses the huntsman and the pack take a country walk with one or other of these men their different conversation will soon show you that they behold the earth with other eyes that the direction of their thoughts is as different as their favorite pursuit i understand how these tastes may be combined and that at last men find time for both but the passions of youth cannot be divided in this way give the youth a single occupation which he loves and the rest will soon be forgotten very desires come from varied knowledge and the first pleasures we know are the only ones we desire for long enough i would not have the whole of emile's youth spent in killing creatures and i do not even profess to justify this cruel passion it is enough for me that it serves to delay a more dangerous passion so that he may listen to me calmly when i speak of it and give me time to describe it without stimulating it end of section 31. you	Priceless Audiobooks	UCly1zcKPGzGW9wZMCZodWOA	2016-12-13	Creative Commons

TownHall7 Farming Attack Strategy Guide	[Music] [Applause] [Music] hey guys it's Ash and this is going to be my guide for Town Hall 7 players trying to get the Barbarian King super fast I know when I used to be a Town Hall 7 player I was really curious about how to get Dark Elixir and I would watch a lot of YouTube videos on it unfortunately there aren't many good attack guides on YouTube that teaches you guys the fundamentals of farming so I've decided to make my own guy because I do consider myself to be an expert on this as I farm both my Barbarian King and Archer Queen to level 40 and have stolen over 11 million dark elixir on my main account so in this video I'm going to teach you guys how to break down an attack and easily be able to steal a lot of dark elixir fast and it only requires a few simple steps and you'll be a pro in no time now I want you guys to know that in this video I'm still practically a Town Hall level six player because I just got to Town Hall 7 and I have yet to upgrade my Army Camps my laboratory troops and my Spell Factory so I still have all level three troops uh but that's how it's like when you're a new Town Hall 7 player so this should be an excellent example of how to attack town hall level 7 players for Dark Elixir even though you still have Town Hall level six offense and my Spell Factory is also upgrading so I won't be using any spells in this video but I'll have more videos on how to farm Dark Elixir at Town Hall 7 with all the different spells and other great attack strategies later for now we're just going to stick to what we're given at the start of Town Hall 7 so the troops we're going to use are eight wall breakers six giants three Barracks full of archers and one Barrack full of Barbarians and all of these troops play a very important role in this attack method now the first thing you want to do when planning out your attack is you need to create a funnel as otherwise if you just send out your barbarians and archers towards this direction they're not going to go right towards that dark elixir what they're going to do instead is they're just going to go around the base they're going to go around this way towards the left and towards the right why because you have all of these outside structures here and because you have all of these outside structures aligned right here at the exterior all your barbarians and archers are just going to follow those structures instead of going inside the base so how can we make sure to have all our barbarians and archers go straight towards the inside for that dark elixir well all we have to do is create some space for example right here we can remove this air sweeper right here and create space between the Spell Factory and that gold mine same thing here we can remove the gold mine right here and create space between that uh barck and The Elixir collect we have a lot of space here so then what we can do is send out our barbarians and archers behind them because the barbarians are going to shield for The Archers and while you have these defenses distracted you want to send out your wall breakers away from the direction of the wizard Tower's attack so if the wizard tower is attacking your troop this way you want to send your wall breaker uh towards this way to open up this wall and the reason we want to open up this wall and go inside this compartment this compartment is because then our archers with their range and ability to attack over the walls can Target that dark elixir storage okay so now let's watch this attack unfold we're going to use those archers to remove that air sweeper create some space and also remove that gold mine on the other side to create some more space on that side with some with a few barbarians and archers and then once we've create created that space we're going to spread out some Giants on this direction to distract that Wizard Tower and send in our wall breakers away from The Wizard Tower to open up the first layer of walls and while the Giants are distracting the wizard tower you're going to have your archers over the wall take out the wizard tower so this is looking very good and then we have our barbarians and Giants in front of the archers so they're going to shield for The Archers and now our archers with their range can easily Target over the walls we don't even have to break the walls they they can just attack the dark elixir storage over the wall so perfect we got 734 dark elixir in this raid okay check this out we're going to use the same attack strategy on this base as well we're going to send out a AR a few archers to remove that laboratory we're going to send out a giant to check if there's anything inside the clan castle there isn't anything perfect we're going to use more barbarians archers on the other other side to remove that uh collector to create more space send out Giants to distract the wizard tower and then open up the first layer with the wall breakers and then our archers can Target that wizard tower over the walls while the Giants are distracting it so perfect and now we can have all our archers targeting that dark elixir storage over the wall s nice now one very important thing that I want to know is how quickly I'm deploying my troops as you can see I'm deploying them here here here all at once how am I doing that I'm using three fingers and I'm holding down onto the screen this way I can quickly deploy all my barbarians and archers at once it's very important to quickly deploy your barbarians and archers because the quicker you deploy them the bigger your group of army is and that way you can overwhelm these defenses better and another important thing that I want to note is that once I've open up this first layer of wall I did not send out any more wall breakers to open up any more walls because the next group of wall breakers are not going to go for the inner layer here what they're going to do is they're going to go for uh this layer this layer or this layer because uh these compartments are guarding buildings inside them these defenses so our wall breakers are instead going to prioritize opening them and we don't want that because if we open up uh these compartments our troops are going to instead separate segregate and move towards these directions rather than going towards the middle for the dark elixir storage so again we're going to start by sending out those archers to remove some outside buildings to create that space on to far sides so once we remove those structures on the far sides we have enough space we're we're going to remove those Army Camps uh with our barbarians and you also want to spread your barbarians on the outside because you never know there could be giant bombs so you should always test for giant bombs on the outside and then you want to send out your giant distract the wizard tower use your archers to remove the wizard tower over the walls open up the first layer of wall while while you have the defenses distracted and then you can have all your archers Target the dark elixir storage over the wall while you have barbarians and Giants in front of your archers to sh shield for them so awesome we got over 1,100 dark elixir in this raid now another very important thing that I want to know is how I'm deploying my wall breakers as you can see I have wall breakers here and here that are largely separated why are they separated well mortars Do Splash damage and they also fire every 5 seconds so if the mortars catch one of my uh group of wall breakers then I can have my other group of wall breakers make it safely I have a very good chance and that's why I'm separating them increase the chance of me opening up this layer of wall also I'm also deploying my wall breakers at this time because as you can see I've already destroyed the buildings inside these two compartments what this means is that now my wall breakers are going to ignore both of these compartment and they're going to go for the wall That's guarding the next closest building so here it's either this mortar or that dark elixir store since I deploy them here they're going to go towards that dark that layer protecting the dark elixir storage so the first step is to check the clan castle here there's a dragon inside so how do we deal with Dragons well all you have to do is pull them outside uh towards an open area and then what you have to do is spread your troops you have to spread archers around that Dragon because dragons do Splash damage just like wizard towers so never attack a dragon uh right in front of it in instead surrounded with archers and this way you can confuse the dragon and you can also even deploy a barbarian under it to keep it distracted while your archers uh easily kill the dragon so here we've easily killed the dragon and then we're going to use our standard method of attack we're going to uh create some space remove some uh side structures those Army Camps and the other army camp here and then we've created that space and then deploy your Barbarian spread them around check for giant bombs we activated a giant bomb there perfect and then you can uh send out your Giants to shield for your archers behind them and uh here we can deploy all our archers and Barbarians at once use three fingers to quickly do so we're not going to send out your we're not going to send out our wall breakers yet we're going to have to first remove those buildings and now we can send them out but we already have our Giants and Barbarians in front of the archers so now the archers can easily Target the dark Elixir Storage over the walls and that's going to be over 740 Dark Elixir awesome so for my attack L as you can see in the last three raids I made over 2400 dark elixir in just 23 minutes so at this rate I can probably get the Barbarian King in Just 2 hours so you can see just how effective this attack strategy is and also how efficient it is because this army trains very quickly you can do a lot of raids in very little time and make low loads of dark elixir so hope you guys enjoyed this video and learned a lot if you did be sure to give this video a thumbs up and also subscribe if you haven't because I'm going to have a lot more Town Hall 7 farming videos and also uh base designs for Town Hall 7s so don't forget to subscribe and I'll see you guys again soon [Music] [Applause] later [Music] oh	Ash Brawl Stars	UC874WmmCVtIwTG4gQbWHKUQ	2015-12-30	Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

lS9AHyACGm8	https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lS9AHyACGm8	Galois theory: Algebraic closure	this lecture is part of an online graduate course on gallowa theory and will be about the algebraic closure of a field so last lecture we saw that if we've got a field k and a polynomial p with coefficients and k we can find a splitting field of p where this is generated by the roots of p and p factorizes into linear factors over l um we can obviously do the same thing with the finite number of polynomials p we just multiplied the polynomials together and take the splitting field of the product now what we can do is we can do the same for all polynomials in k of x so what we're going to do is to extend k to a field k bar such that first of all any polynomial in k of x factors into linear factors over the field k bar and secondly we want k bar to be generated by roots of polynomials in with coefficients and k so this is just like the definition of a splitting field except instead of doing it with one polynomial we do it with all polynomials um and when we do that this field is called the algebraic closure of k now the the construction of the algebraic closure is is very similar to the construction of a splitting field except you do it infinitely many times so so the construction might be something like this let's first suppose uh the field k is countable then we all we do is we list the the polynomials in k of x so we might get p1 p2 p3 and they're only a countable number of polynomials so we can just list them all in a row and then we take a field k equals k0 we extend it to k1 which is a splitting field of p1 and then we extend it to k2 which as you can probably guess is a splitting field for p2 and we carry on like this and we put a k bar to be the union and you can easily see it that's just a field and contains a root of any polynomial in k of x so any polynomial and k of x factorizes into linear factors what if k is not countable suppose k is uncountable it's similar but we well order the polynomials p i using the axiom of choice and then do something similar um okay well if you don't know about well ordering you probably don't care very much about uncountable fields either so we won't worry about it too much but if you go to a set theory course they tell you all about how to well order things and if you will order the polynomials you can just sort of copy this proof only you get an uncountable well-ordered chain there anyway a field is called algebraically closed so field l is called algebraically closed if all polynomials in l of x have roots in l and in particular that means all polynomials factorize into linear factors and the algebraic closure of k that we've constructed is algebraically closed well wait a minute i seem to be kind of getting away with something because all i've proved is that um any polynomial with coefficients in k has a root and k bar but in order to claim that k bar is algebraically closed i need to show that the polynomial with coefficients in k bar is algebraically closed so i seem to be um have slipped up a bit so so um what we have shown so we know that any polynomial in k of x has a root in k bar by construction we want that any polynomial in k bar of x let me just put the bar in fluorescent pink so you notice it has a root well actually this is not too difficult to show if every polynomial in k of x has a root and k bar then we can show any polynomial and k bar of x as a root so suppose that p of x is in k bar of x and it might have coefficients might be say a naught a 1 a 2 and so on it might be x to the n plus a n minus 1 x to the n minus 1 plus a naught where all the a i are in k bar and now all we do is we look at the field extensions we take k and then we look at k with all these elements a naught a one a n minus one adjoined and then this is also contained um in some field with k a naught up to a n minus one alpha where alpha is going to be a root of uh the polynomial p so um we we can just join a root of p to k if we want so so so this field k is certainly contained in k bar and we what we want to do is to show that we can also if we want pick alpha to be in k bar well that's quite easy because we notice that this extension here is finite because all the a i are algebraic over k and this extension here is finite because alpha satisfies a polynomial with coefficients in these so this extension here is finite so alpha is algebraic over k and what this means is that alpha is a root of a polynomial with coefficients in k and we've shown that any such polynomial factors into linear factors in k bar so we may as well assume that alpha is in k bar so this shows that the algebraic closure of a field is algebraically closed which is really rather fortunate because it would be kind of stupid if it wasn't um so we can see that um so any field has um let's call this k has an algebraic closure so actually we we only sort of really proved this for countable fields and mumbled something about set theory for uncountable ones but never mind um we can also sometimes ask about a weaker property or a weaker construction and suppose instead of asking for all polynomials to have roots um let's have the problem of find a field l with k contained in l so that all elements of l have a square root in l um so an algebraic closure would certainly have this property but what we want to construct is a smaller field that's only closed under taking square roots and we would like the smallest possible fields so we only want l um we want l to be generated by the operations of repeatedly taking square roots and field operations well we can construct a field like this we could take k equals k naught and we can embed it in a bigger field k1 where with k1 you would join all square roots of elements of k0 so this is just like what we did for an algebraic closure except instead of taking all polynomials we're only taking polynomials of the form x squared minus a0 now it's certainly not true that k1 is necessarily closed under taking square roots but that doesn't matter we can extend it to a bigger field where where this where we are join square roots of elements of k1 and you can continue this an infinite number of times and let's put l to be the union of all these fields then you can see that l is closed undertaking square roots and secondly l is generated from k by the usual field operations plus minus times divide and taking square roots now you see um if we were really lazy we could have used a similar argument for the algebraic closure so we could have said well k1 is going to be generated by all roots of polynomials with coefficients and k 0 and then k 2 is going to be generated by all roots of polynomials with coefficients in k1 and we sort of continue and construct the algebraic collision to be l and that would save having to prove that k1 is algebraically closed in fact you know we we showed that k1 is in fact equal to k2 but if we were too late to do that we could just use this argument instead which would be um kind of a bit sloppy so this is this is a fairly common construction mathematics if you want to construct an algebraic object closed under some operation you can quite often get it by just iterating a countable number of times and taking the union and by the way if you wonder why anybody should care about fields closed under taking square roots that's related to the old problem of doing things like squaring a circle or trisecting an angle because the numbers you can construct using a ruler and compass turn out to be exactly the numbers you can construct from the rational numbers using the field operations and taking square roots so a number can be constructed by ruler and compass if and only if it's contained in the fields you get like this by starting with the rationals and taking its closure under square roots these are sometimes called euclidean numbers so let's have some examples of algebraically closed fields well the example that everybody knows is you take k to be the field of real numbers and then the algebraic closure is the field of complex numbers so this is sometimes called the fundamental theorem of algebra which says that the complex numbers is algebraically closed in fact this is a particularly easy example because we only need to take a degree to extension of r whereas in general the algebraic closure of a field would be a huge infinite extension and how do we prove that the complex numbers are algebraically closed well we'll be giving an algebraic proof of it later on in the course and if you've been to a complex analysis course you've probably seen a proof of it using luvial's theorem what i'm going to give now is a very short topological proof so i suppose p of x equals x to the n plus a n minus 1 x to the n minus 1 and so on plus a naught is a polynomial with coefficients in the complex numbers we want to show that p has a root and what you notice is that if x is large say x is equal to r sufficiently large then this bit here x to the n is bigger than this bit here so it has bigger absolute value than a n minus 1 x the n minus 1 plus a naught and so on in fact you can assume it's much bigger and that's pretty much all we need to know to show if it's algebraically closed um so let's draw a kind of picture of the complex plane and here i'm going to draw um so this is going to be so this plane i'm going to draw x and now i'm going to let x go round a big circle of radius r and i ask what what happens the values of the polynomial p of x well as i said um x to the n you remember from complex analysis goes around the origin n times but it's perturbed slightly by this but since this is very small the perturbation isn't going to be very big so if x is doing this p of x will sort of [Music] wiggle a bit and it will sort of go around the origin n times so this is what p of x does and now imagine making this circle smaller and smaller so instead of looking at radius r i might look at some smaller radius and then what's going to happen well it's going to go i don't know this bit will no longer be smaller than this bit so we can't really assume it goes goes roughly around end times if i make it smaller still so i just get a yellow spot there then what happens to p of x is it will just look like this um actually that's not terribly legible let me do it in green instead so i'll put a green spot there so um and now let's look at what happens so here this pink circle goes around naught n times um anti-clockwise where n is equal to the degree of the polynomial p on the other hand this yellow or possibly green spot goes round the origin zero times so as you imagine contracting this circle here its image starts off going around the origin end times and ends up going around the origin zero times and you know if if you sort of imagine this this thing going round as being a loop of string or something what we've got is this loop of string kind of going round the origin three times or end times like that and you're trying to move around so it ends up going around the origin north time but if you imagine the origin as a sort of post there it's sort of caught on the post and you you can't move it to going around the origin naught times without some intermediate point passing through the origin so there must be some intermediate circle between this big circle and the origin such that if your if x goes around that circle it must actually pass through the origin um the the number of times you go around the origin is sometimes called the winding number so what we're saying is the winding number starts off being the degree of the polynomial here and goes down to zero there i said sorry the winding number of the image goes down from n to zero so at some point it must change and the only way it can change is if the curve passes through the origin so what we have shown in fact is that anything of the form x the n plus f of x has zero if f of x is less than x to the n for x having absolute value r for some fixed value of r that's because if f of x is less than x to the n then x to the n plus f of x will have winding number n because um it's this is sort of forced to stay roughly in the same direction as x to the n so it's the same winding number as x to the n so this doesn't need to be a polynomial at all it can be any continuous function um so so that gives the complex numbers as a fairly natural example of an algebraically closed field so let's have some natural examples of algebraically closed fields um there are lots of examples you can get just by taking the algebraic closure of a field but the trouble is these aren't terribly natural they're rather hard to write down explicitly i mean our construction said you know you had to write down this infinite sequence of polynomials and keep adding roots and you know actually doing that would be a horrendous bookkeeping operation so let's see some natural examples well first of all we have the complex numbers secondly we've got things like the algebraic closure of q bar inside the complex numbers that so so these are the so-called algebraic numbers which are the elements of c that are algebraic over the rational numbers and um since the complex numbers are algebraically close it's fairly easy to check that all the elements that are algebraic over the rational numbers are also algebraically closed so this is called the field of algebraic numbers and there's an entire subject called algebraic number theory devoted to studying just this field um apart from this it's really quite hard to write down natural examples the the only really natural one i know of is is the field of prisa series um these were actually invented by isaac newton but there are too many things named after newton so some of newton's inventions are named after other things so you remember the laurent series or rather formal laurent series are just the power series or formal parentheses of the complex numbers except you're allowed to have a finite number of inverse powers so for example we might have x to the minus three e to the x would be a laurent series x to the minus three plus x to the minus two plus x to the minus one over two factorial and so on um now preset series are a slight variation of this so what we do is we take the union over or n of greater than or equal to 1 of laurent series in x to the 1 over n so we take x to the 1 over n and then we're allowed to um invert so so you might have a series like x to the minus a half plus two plus three x to the half plus four x and so on that would be a typical priest series and newton more or less showed that poison series are algebraically closed i mean he didn't actually state that because algebraic closed algebraically closed fields hadn't been defined and wouldn't be defined for several hundred years but in spite of the fact that they hadn't been defined newton still more or less managed to show that the the field of prison series is algebraically closed he sort of proved a theorem equivalent to that well we showed existence of algebraic closures and now we should discuss uniqueness of algebraic closures and here we run into the same sort of rather funny problem that we had for um splitting fields so any two algebraic closures of k are isomorphic and the proof is much the same as the splitting fields except you have to repeat things an infinite number of times instead of a finite number of times so i'm not going to bother doing that but the trouble is this isomorphism is not unique in general there's no way of making it sort of canonical and this runs into a it's not really a serious problem but it's a sort of rather irritating bookkeeping problem and that you can't really speak of the algebraic closure of a field because you know if two people come up with algebraic closures of the field they may be isomorphic but there may be no good way to agree on what the isomorphism between them is for instance you get a problem like this if you're a category theorist and you try and make suppose you take a field and you ask is taking the algebraic closure is this a functor so you remember from category theory that to make it a function you've got to say if you've if you've got a field k and a map from k to l and you take an algebraic closure of l is there a natural map from the algebraic closure of k to the algebraic closure of l and if you think about it a bit it's really not easy to to make this into a factor because you know which which isomorphism you're going to take and um i mean i think if you work very hard and using the ax and use the action of choice a lot you might be able to sort of push through something but it's really rather a mess there's a sort of analogous very similar problem to this in algebraic topology so what i want to explain is that is the problem of uniqueness of the algebraic closure is related to the problem of defining the fundamental group of a topological space x so you know if you've got a topological space say a surface with genus 2 surface then you can define a fundamental group whose elements are roughly loops starting on this surface so so a typical loop might go around there and then background there and if you've got two loops you can sort of try and compose them and you can try and make that into a group well you've got to be a little bit careful because if you've got two loops it's not quite clear how you compose them what you've really got to chew is choose a base point and instead of looking at arbitrary loops you should just look at loops that start at this base point and go round and then if you've got a loop that starts at that base point and if you've got another loop that starts at that base point and goes around their say then you can compose them and get a loop that goes like that so you've um by it's not too difficult to make to make these loops into a group if they're taking octo homotopy and the problem is so you've got this fundamental group is usually denoted by pi one so you might say well you've got a fundamental group pi one of x well it seems to depend on the choice of base point well it doesn't really because if you pick another base point then for any loop here um you can turn it into a loop at this base point by going along a fixed line between these base points then round that loop and then round there and from this it's not too difficult to see that pi 1 of x doesn't depend up to isomorphism on the choice of base point however if you try doing that you run into some rather nasty problems but the problem is that the isomorphism between these groups for these two different choices base point depends on the line you've chosen between these two points so we've got the same problem that we had for algebraic closures of fields what we should do is not define the fundamental group of a space x but define the fundamental group of x with respect to a fixed base point x zero and this map here is not a functor if you've got a map between topological spaces you don't get a well-defined map between this whatever it is however you do get a well-defined map for these things so this is a functor and now i want to show that same sort of problem happens for algebraic closure so if you've got a field k we can embed it at an algebraically closed field k bar and we can define an absolute galway group [Music] galway group and i'm going to just define this to be the automorphism group of k bar that fixes all elements of k so it's just a group of symmetries of k bar and you should think of the absolute galway group of a field k as being analogous to the fundamental group of a topological space x in fact as i mentioned a few lectures ago growth and dick had a had a formalism which it more or less is the fundamental group of something if you're willing to use a tal topology and the problem is that the fundamental group of a space x isn't a functor if you don't pick a base point and similarly the absolute galva group of a field k is well it's not really a functor in other words if you've got a map from k to a space k1 and you embed this in an algebraic closure k and embed this in an algebraic closure k bar then if you look at the automorphism group of k bar there's no natural map from this automorphism group to this automorphism group well what you can do however is you can define an absolute gallery group if you pick an algebraic closure k bar now picking an algebraic closure k bar turns out to be very similar to picking a base point x zero so if we pick a base point x zero then we have a nice fundamental group which which is um doesn't set it doesn't depend on all these funny ambiguities um similarly if we want to define the absolute galloway group of a field we really have to pick an algebraic closure even though all algebraic closures are isomorphic if we don't pick one we run into nasty problems about this thing not being a functor so most of the time it's harmless to talk about the algebraic closure of a field and you don't need to worry about this ambiguity but sometimes you do by the way if you do need to worry about this ambiguity that there's a construction called a groupoid that i just quickly mentioned that that sort of gives a neat solution to this problem so groupoid is a category such that all elements such as sorry all morphisms are isomorphisms and now in these two cases we can construct a fundamental groupoid that doesn't depend on a base point and we can construct an absolute galway groupoid that doesn't depend on the algebraic closure and we do this as follows the category here has objects points of the space x and the morphisms um from point x naught to x one are the same as homotopic classes of paths from x to x one so from x0 to x1 in the space when i say parse i mean homotopic classes have passed but there's not enough space to write out homotopy here now this groupoid i'm going to define a category whose points are algebraic closures uh k bar of k so i said there's really no canonical choice of an algebraic closure although they're all isomorphics you just take all of them and the morphisms sorry that's not points it's objects and the morphisms from one algebraic closure k to another algebraic closure k just going to be isomorphisms of fields from the first one to the second so if you're bothered by this lack of uniqueness of the algebraic closure you need to go and find out what a groupoid is and work with the absolute galvan group point rather than absolute galway group but as i said most of the time you can sort of get away with the absolute galway group and not worry about this this this rather complicated nonsense okay next lecture we're going to give another application of the splitting field of a field which is to construct the finite fields or galwa fields	Richard E
